Entry #1

1. How was the process of creating the GMail account and setting up the Blog? The process of creating my Gmail account was quite smooth because I already had this account for professional purposes so I decided to utilize it for this course since I rarely use it anyway. Setting up the Blog was quick and easy.

2. What do you expect to learn in this course? This isn't my first art course, however, I expect to learn about the fundamentals of art more in depth. Also, how many different works of art can be interpreted differently.

3. How do you feel about taking an online course? Taking an online course is a first for me, and although it's convenient it is scary because it can easily be forgotten since there is so much going on in the outside world.

4. What three things in the Growth Mindset (from Step 3) videos do you believe most apply to you? One thing that I believe applies to me is that repeating an action strengthens the brain. I know this because I am currently studying Japanese and had I not studied every day for at least 10 minutes and repeated some lessons I would not be as strong in certain areas. Another thing that applies to me is the idea of having a growth mindset, working hard to reach your goals even when it seems impossible. You have to have faith in yourself to become successful. In many situations I thought I couldn't make it but I did. Lastly, I enjoy school because I learn new things everyday. I love the idea of expanding my knowledge because nobody knows too much, there is always something new to learn. I embrace challenges and I see it as a way of strengthening my knowledge.
