Hey everyone,
I am Erica. Currently, I am a sophomore here at ASU West well at least I was the last time I checked my credit status. When I started at ASU I was strongly convinced that I was destined to be a psychology major, but my intro to psych class freshman year told me otherwise. So now I am undecided, but not completely without direction or faith, just not exactly sure what it is I want to do.
From this course I hope to have a better understanding of Art. I hope to be able to look at an artist's work and know what their purpose was and what they want the spectator to understand. The most important thing I hope to accomplish is appreciation for an artist and their work.
My mother has a degree in Graphic Design, and has always influenced my interest and introduced me to art from a very young age. However I was not graced with talent of an artist, but I have always had an interest in the subject. She has taken me to countless museums and numerous galleries for as long as I can remember. The most memorable and influencial time was when she brought me to a showing of Monet here in Phoenix. I was probably ten or eleven, and it was the last place I wanted to be. But to my surprise I was drawn to the paintings, the colors, the sceneries, and just couldn't quite get enough. And that excitement has yet to fade.
So I hope this course brings more to my love for art!
