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.

RubiStar: Art Critique and Rubric

What I Did


Okay...this has not really worked for me. I was able to go to RubiStar, create a login, and create a rubric. I reached a problem when I tried to save it in Excel format. It would say I saved it, but my computer didn't like opening it up because it said it might be corrupt since the "file type was a different format than specified by the file extension." It would open it up as a web page. It doesn't like the file type and I don't know what I did wrong. I tried to dowload the original document and it still doesn't let me. I officially do not like RubiStar. I don't see how it is that much easier than creating a document in another program.
I decided to click on the option of "create an offline browser-document" so that I could copy and paste it into Word instead. I was then able to upload it to Google Drive. Now you can see my rubric!
 

What I Learned

There is more than one way to achieve a goal. This is not the first time I have had to find another way to get the desired result. For example, I had to find a different formula to use for the self-grading document in the spreadsheet in Google. As long as your document completes the task and it can get out there for students or other people to see! There are so many options online for doing one kind of task that it is hard to learn it all and do it all successfully.
