Final Public Art Project
What did I learn from taking this course? What did I take out of it? What exactly did I pay for? All questions I often ask myself after a quarter has ended. I wish I could tell someone what Humanities is about, but I honestly am not sure if I know myself. We discussed public artists and their work, along with public art in general. We viewed art in Seattle, and had to create our own. We viewed different materials used to create art and how artists have accomplished the task. So, I guess my take on Humanities, is art in the past, present, and future. How art has changed, or grown, throughout the decades in all forms, and how art is perceived. Maybe because I have been ignorant to the topic, is why I lacked participation in the class. I preferred to listen to what others had to say about the subject, rather than be wrong or off track. Maybe if I had asked more questions, I would have a greater understanding of it all. Nonetheless, I found the class to be interesting and enlightening, considering I will probably come across such topics in my career and will need to know about these types of art or artists in particular. I usually learn from my past and try to do things differently the next time. For Humanities II, I will try to obtain a greater understanding of the subject and therefore, really absorb as much as I can from the class.
