Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
The sculpture I chose to write about was the Stinger, which was created by artist Tony Smith, in 1968. At first sight, I can honestly say that I hated the sculptire, not because of the way it look, but the fact I didnt really understand it. I didn't know if it was a maze or if it was a project unfinished. But as I checked out some of his other creations and grabbed an understanding of his vision. All of his scupltures were 3-Dimensional creations, which made complete sense after looking at his other scupltures. What changed my mind was the fact the he used steel for all his scupltures, I am a big fan for steel and think the piece of art is remarkable. So at first, I can say that I hated the work because of me not really understanding the concept, the inspiration of the work, and also not understanding the artist. After researching the artist, I have been blown away by his other creations and now I am a big fan of him and his work, I'm personally going to continue to be a fan and check out all of his work.

Self-Assessment
What have I learned in this class? Well for starters, I learned how to become more patient in the fact that I will not understand everything that someone is talking about. Also, I have learned that even though that everyone doesn't think like me sometimes that is what make everyone unique. I have been able to gain a lot of knowledge from this course, and frequently catch myself using those critical thinking methods in my everyday life and I appreciate Professor Arntson for that. Even though he is extremely eccentric that is a quality that I do believe everyone teacher should have a unorthodox way of teaching for students like me, the ones who constantly think outside the box. This course has really opened my mind to consider or even try things that I have never done before because you never know I might enjoy. So again I ask myself, "what have I learned from this class?", I've learned how to be a better me, is probably the best answer I can give you.
