My name is Katie Kuzelka and I am in my freshman year at ASU. My major is pre-med of Family Studies. I signed up for this class because I thought it would be a unique learning experience. I also heard that it was a great class. Examining and forming an opinion on a work of art can be very subjective, which has shown to be challenging for me in the past. I have little to no experience with art and I hope by taking this class I can learn new and interesting things that will ultimately make me a more well rounded individual. My goal is to form a greater understanding of classic art pieces and have the ability to identify the purpose of art work in a well educated way by the end of the semester. Also, I hope to develop a greater appreciation for art in the past and today.
My most memorable encounter with art was the Body World's exhibit at the Science Museum. Since I have little exposure to art, Body World's was probably the most fascinating form of art I have seen in person. The intricate way the bodies were presented made the exhibit captivating. I have seen classic artwork in books and displayed in certain places, but I have never taken the time to look into the detail that is unique to each artist or what the artist's purpose was behind the work of art.
Art is fascinating because a single thing as simple as color or style can be so significant to the work of art through its ability to relay a story to the viewer. It is a model of expression whether it is feelings or perception of the world around an individual. It is displayed in all aspects throughout the world not just on paper. For example, to me ballet is an art because I find the technique to be beautiful and extraordinary. Art is unique to everyone and can be portrayed differently depending upon the person.
