This portfolio of my work in AAD 250 is to show what I have learned so far through the use of this blog, and my posts that come with it. In just six weeks, I feel that my critical knowledge and interest in the field of art has grown. I now find myself appreciating more of the arts that are around me through many different mediums. The purpose of this portfolio is to further demonstrate this through reflection on my previous postings.
The primary audience for this portfolio is my Professor, Scott Huette and the students of this AAD Art and Human Values course. The secondary audience for this portfolio is anyone outside of the class who reads my blog entries.
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.
