I really enjoyed this format because I was able to focus on my other classes during the rest periods and then focus on this class in the middle weeks of the semester.
What did you think of the 4 Messy Hands activities? (Plaster Casting, Sketching in the Garden, Graffiti Writing & Finger Painting)
These were my favorite activities because it involved me doing something hands-on which for me is a lot more entertaining and there’s less room for error.
What did you think of the 4 Life Design activities? (Design Thinking, ePortfolio, Environmental Portrait, vlog)
These activities were a bit harder for me because it felt more like homework versus an art activity, but they were more helpful for everyday life.
What did you think of the Student Choice & One More activities?
This was a great concept because it allowed us our own creative ability and design something that represents us all individually.
What did you think of visiting the SOA Galleries, having Conversations with SOA Artists, and blogging about them?
At first, I did not like this idea because I am kind of shy, but after a few conversations and I felt more comfortable talking.
What did you think of using the class website, glenn.zucman.com/i2va, plus your own websites, instead of BeachBoard?
I think it worked well. It was hard getting used to at first because it was a new website, but overall it was well organized and easy to follow.
What did you think of using WordPress for your blog?
I liked using wordpress for my blog because I have a personal blog on wordpress and I was already familiar with it.
What did you think of using Wix for your ePortfolio?
I actually used the blog I already had that was made on wordpress, so I am not familiar with wix.
What did you think of the guest speakers? (Internships, Study Abroad, etc)
The guest speakers were extremely helpful because they all talked about different things that I would not be able to find time to go out and figure each thing out. They gave me new perspectives on things like internships and studying abroad.
What did you think of the times in class when we took time to meet new classmates? How many Art110 peeps did you know before the class started? How many do you know now?
In this class I was able to meet so many people. I came into this class not knowing a single person and I was very intimidated, but I became comfortable very quickly and have met about 3 really good friends.
What did you think about having a class with no tests? I don’t just mean “was it cool to not have to take any,” but students use tests to guide their study and participation in a class. Students tend to learn what’s on the test, and to not learn anything that isn’t. Did not having exams make it harder to focus or find importance and relevance in the class?
No exams my experience much better because I was able to focus on what was happening in class versus focusing on specifics that would be on a test.
Any other thoughts?
I really enjoyed this class and I am so glad I had the opportunity to take it. Glenn is such an amazing teacher and he is really inspires me to go out and do things.
