The Power of Art in Society

Value Scale  Creating the Value Scale was interesting to me. I was amazed with the fact you can make such a dark tint on a piece of paper with just a pencil. Moving from dark to light, as I was shading I let the pencil get liter and liter. That way you could see the difference in the pencil shading.

In the video "Do you see what I see, The science of color perception", what impressed me was when Dr. Beau Lotto did a series of experiments. In the experiment with color blocks multiple people, different...

I already had a Gmail account prior to having my Buffalo State student e-mail.  Setting up my blog was pretty cool. I never had a blog before so creating one was interesting for me. Getting to pick out the theme and layout for my blog was fun. I found a theme and layout that connected with me.  Some things that I would like to learn from this course are techniques and various art forms. There are a lot a ways you can present art to society. Learning about the history of art and where certain elements of art originated from would be something to learn about as well.  In my opinion, taking an online course is a much better approach for schooling when you have a lot on your plate.
