intro blog

Well this is the first attempt at using this new blog so here we go.

The process of creating a gmail account, and setting up this new blog was pretty simple. I already had a gmail account so I did not need to create one, and this made my setting up my blogger account faster, and easy. Attempting to create a blog was not that hard you just have to follow the instructions, so everything was self explanatory.
In this course I expect to learn a lot about different types of art, and different artists. I also expect to learn different background stories about the art that we focus in on for example, why did the artist choose to paint or create this image? Was there a purpose behind it? Is their a story behind this image? One other thing I expect to learn is more about myself. I would like to learn how can I create art, and how am I as an artist. 
I feel good about taking an online course. I have taken many courses online throughout my past semesters so it is not anything that is new to me. The only thing that could be difficult is sometimes having to remember that there are deadlines for the course, and this is not any easier than taking courses on campus. So the same amount of time, and effort being put into a class on campus, needs the same amount of time and effort to be put into an online course.
One thing that I learned from the Growth Mindset videos was that the more you challenge yourself to learn, the more brain cells you grow. Another thing I learned was that repeating an action builds strength. Repetition helps your brain register things that are important to know, or that you need to memorize. Something else that I learned was you can grow, and get better at things. These are three things that I believe apply to me mostly, just because these are things that are essential to know, and somethings that you can train your mind to do.

Module 4

My thoughts on creating a Value Scale are that I thought this project was creative, and cool. Before this class if someone were to ask me what a Value Scale was I would not be able to describe what that was. Now that I have created one I am able to explain the purpose of one, and what it can be used for. While creating the Color Wheel I was a bit challenged at first because I wasn't sure if I would make the colors correctly like it was shown in the video. After I had noticed that I did it correct, and it became fun to watch the colors blend together, and produce other colors.  The media that I enjoyed working with the most was the color wheel. This is because it was more hands on involving the paint, and brushes. I like working with paint, and painting things and although we were not instructed to paint a object or create a picture with it, it was still fun to put the colors together, and see what can be created from that.  In my opinion an important discovery that I had not

3rd art gallery visit

Al Mitsu 1944 Oil painting Jame Amos Porter 1957 Oil on Canvas Frida Kahlo 1945 These are all of the three of the inspired self-portrait pieces I have decided to include from the art gallery visit. All of these pieces were found virtually from the Google art project website. 1. Why did you select the inspiration pieces? I selected these inspiration pieces because I felt like these are exactly what self-portraits are supposed to look like. It is the person, and they are either doing something or just still. 2. Why did you select the media to create your self-portrait? I selected the media to create my self-portrait because I felt like it would be the best way to create the image of myself that I wanted to. 3. What challenges did you face in creating your self-portrait and how did you overcome them?
