Today was my first day of classes in a college setting, and I am pleased to say - without the intention of kissing up - that the class of Art and Technology will be one of my most interesting ones. While the course is described as rigorous, informative, and relatively fast paced, it was pleasantly surprising to find adventure and eagerness brimming from the course. As Prof. Echeverry introduced and spoke with us, the information being spoken was breathtaking in volume.
I personally, as much of a fan of creating as I am in weakness to writing, received my first indication that the class would be a great one when there was but one single paper listed on the syllabus. But as we continued down the extensive, extensive list of subject matters, my eyes began to bug. Not in fear, but in excitement! Admittedly, I am a huge nerd when it comes to learning. I love to learn. It makes me happy, energetic, and gives me excitement. The lesson today on the forefather of technology, theatre, had me on edge and fully attentive for the whole almost two hours of content. Note taking became less of a task, and more of a desire. The information being presented was oh so engaging, there was so much in it, and it was wonderful.
My first impressions on the class are very promising, with projects very different from the typical, perhaps stereotypical collegiate [whatever number] page paper. We would construct collagaes with xerox copies of our body parts! We would create a flip-book, put on an art performance (which I am actually a bit intimidated by), translate an opera of our choice into a video game, and others of the like.
