Moyi's Module 1 Art Blog


In setting up the blog, I actually found it quite simple and straightforward despite having difficulties at first. I was having difficulties setting up a Blogger account since I was using my school Gmail, instead of creating a new Gmail account.

I expect to learn about understanding the meaning and uses of art that will be studied throughout the course. Also, I expect to have a better understanding of different interpretations, concepts, and development of art.

Additionally, I have taken a few online courses in the past. I feel that the course load for online courses can be heavy, especially with the amount of readings, discussions, and assignments that are due almost every week. It is hard to keep up with all the deadlines, but I think it is manageable.

The first thing that applies to me from the Growth Mindset videos is leaving home. My hometown is in China, and I came to study in the United States. At first it was a difficult adjustment but I have enjoyed studying here once I made new friends. The next thing that applies to me is finding the time to study. I have taken a lot of courses last year and it was difficult to find time to get all the assignments done and studying for tests and quizzes for several courses at the same time. This year will be another challenging year in finding time to study as I take many courses again. Finally, the last thing that applied to me was being worried about fitting in. I was worried at first that I would not fit in with the crowd and it would be difficult for me to make friends. However, after meeting people that had similar interests with me such as in the sport of basketball, I felt that I could definitely fit in.
