Introduction

Hi my name is Laura Offe, I am a Graphic Design major. This is my senior year of college but I still have two years left till I graduate. I love art, I mostly love making art. I draw and do photography and most recently my new passion is graphic design. I got my associates in Fine Arts in Sheridan Wyoming, and then I transferred here to get my Bachelors in Graphic Design. So needless to say I have already taken art history classes but Central does not except them. So I am very glad there is an online class for me to take, reason being I can't stand being in another three hour lecture class about art. Don't get me wrong I love art and I love looking at art and talking about it, but I don't want another lecture class. That being said one of the main things I wish I could have remembered and retained from my art history classes is the names of the artists the paintings that I really enjoyed. We also learned lots about different cathedrals and it was really interesting for me. I loved looking at the cathedrals and saying one day I would love to see that in person and be able to tell people the story behind them. My old art history teacher gave us a lot of background to the art which I really enjoyed. I am really hope the class will be like that in some ways because it would make thing interesting for me. Over all I am pretty excited for this class, I am excited to see some amazing pieces of art again and get a second opinion. It is also a nice change to be able to blog about what we think and feel, instead of having a seven page paper at the end of the quarter. So thank you for that! :)
