Portfolio

xinxin

Purpose:

I create this portfolio basically for demonstrating my general works and studies about how I perceive art and the connection with human values that I have done and learned from this class. My point of view towards every topic is based on my culture background and past experiences. And also by reading the articles provided in the course and other’s comments and posts, I have learned to respect and examine the different perspectives. By displaying my previous studies, making reflections and setting new goals, I hope it broaden my knowledge and gave me the opportunities to reconsider the way I think.

Portfolio Objectives:

–       Document my progress over the length of the course

–       Develop valuable computer skills and knowledge

–       Demonstrate evidence of meeting course objectives

Overall Course Objectives:

–       Consider culturally based versus universally based theories of art.

–       Examine the political, regional, economic, technological, religious, ethnic, gender and generational influences that shape conceptions of art.

–       Consider gender, race, and ethnicity in relation to representation in art.

–       Examine contemporary and historical cross-cultural examples of art.

Audience:

The primary audience of this portfolio is intended to be the professor, Scott Huette, and my fellow classmates of online class AAD 250: Art and Human Values at the University of Oregon. They can critique my posts and ideas by reading and leaving comments directly, and also my blog is open to the public who is interested in the contents of art and human values.
