Class Introductions!

Hello Art History students! I am very excited to be starting the new school year with you! Art History hasn't run at HLR for at least a DECADE! Which means we are starting with some FRESH and NEW curriculum. In order to exchange ideas, conversations, and developments within our projects, we will be using the blogs as a space for those experiences. So set up your blog and write your first post!

Introduce yourself to the blogosphere with a personal bio of 400-500 words. This should be an informal but compelling–which is to say, “bloggy”—piece of writing. Stream-of-consciousness but also structured, raw and sketchy but also polished and authoritative. The central organizing principle of the blogosphere is you – the individual. The success of your blog depends on the clarity and confidence you have in your voice and your set of interests, and on your ability to convey your ideas and interests in a compelling way. This is not a typical bio, it’s a window into what makes you “tick,” a chance to write about what you’re interested in and why. You may want to include basic information like where you were born and raised, what schools you’ve attended, jobs you’ve held, hobbies you’ve pursued, but also delve into events and influences that have had a more subtle but profound influence. Perhaps you’ll describe colossal mistakes you’ve made, transformative books you’ve read, music you’ve listened to, sports games you’ve seen, mentors you’ve met, or any other critical influences in your life that have shaped the way you think and that have made you you. Above all, have fun with it.

After you write your first blog, comment on this post so I can receive a link to your blog.
