life’s not a paragraph

i really wasn’t quite sure what this class was when i signed up for it, but it turned out to be a really interesting class. basically it covers a bunch of stuff. the class starts out with field trips to museums and galleries around boston. it was a great way to learn about what’s going on in the current art world. i learned so much about different styles and trends and local artists. my professor also invited a bunch of people from the graphic design world to talk to the class.

it’s actually kind of ridiculous how little i knew about the design world. after just one speaker, i learned so much about some of the different elements of the field. graphic design really encompasses a lot of things. print, web, logo. there is so much. it made me realize how much i have to learn over the next two years.

the second half of the class we did a few projects that had to do with advertising. this class is only taken by graphic design and fine art majors so it’s kind of like we are dipping our toes into the gd pool for the first time. now i feel like i am ready to take on some of my graphic design classes next semester!
