Nature is art.

My New Blog

I am starting this blog as a narration of my educational journey through a technology course as a potential art teacher but also as another human being trying to find her way in the world by following her passions and goals. One of my goals is to expand on my knowledge of the art world, including the many ways art relates to other aspects of life. This relationship involves searching for the definition of art as well as examining the ways art is used to decipher life itself. In doing so, my blog will hopefully become a rich educational tool for students or aspiring artists.

Art is EXPRESSION of the deliberate, the random, a process, or a finished product. It is fixed or forever changing. It is scientific, spiritual, or both! It stimulates the senses while stirring emotions. It can be literal or abstract. How does art relate to everyday life and why is art important? I want my blog and my future classroom to guide viewers/students through a creative journey that explains just that while relating it to his/her own life.

Photo Story: Art Careers

Wow. What a busy week it has been for me. I worked hard on this acitivity and am pleased with the results. I created a typical PowerPoint presentation and did some fun things with it using Photo Story 3 for Windows to create a mini video with added narration and background music. I then uploaded to YouTube, which I didn't know I could do with a Google account. Cool stuff!

In my video I touch upon a few careers that I would want to introduce to students, especially those who might be serious about art, to show them the numerous options out there.
