Homework 1

Part 1:

Some background... I've had a fascination with art ever since my mom bought me my first pack of crayons. As technology advances, so does my interests; so long, crayons. I've experienced plenty forms of art expression throughout my adolescence, such as Chinese calligraphy, street art, and painting(with the Paint program on my desktop). Lately, I've been genuinely interested in digital photography and sketching abstract drawings from abstract paintings shown in lectures.

• Why am I an Media Arts (Computing Emphasis) major?

I enjoy the diverse fields of art courses required by this major. I am also passionately interested in the potential of creating digital images through the computer as the medium.

• What made me decide to become an art student?

It seemed like the way to go when majoring in Structural Engineering didn't work out. Also, Final Fantasy was a huge artistic influence on me as a young teen.

• Why this class?

It's required for my major. I'm indifferent about taking this course. Honestly, I see this as just another hurdle to obtaining my diploma. Hopefully, I'll gain something valuable from this class, I hate passing a class empty-handed.

• Any experience with electronics?

I'm with few sound devices, video game consoles, and monitors. I'm not going to say I'm savvy with the ins and outs of every electronic I own, but I'm quick to figure out which light bulb a switch turns on(har har).
