embarking on the journey

This is my first online class. I've enrolled in others but always drop them. I really like reading other classmates blogs. It helps reunite the connection that we are all embarking on this journey of both historical understanding and the influence of art as a form of expression throughout time and it's implications on examining culture. I enjoy the insight provided by others which normally is lacking from online courses.

My favorite art form of art is photography (maybe that's because my dad was a professional photographer). I enjoy all the pictures in the text. It really helps make the subject come to life. The reading is a different story. I can never read the assigned reading just once. I feel like I miss so much the first time I go through it, it isn't until the second and sometimes third that I really start to paint an image in my mind.

I'm glad you're sticking to it and working hard towards understanding. This gives hope to those who trouble understanding. Let the world unite through understanding.

Your blogs are "sensitive". Sensitive in a way that it gave me a little tiggle inside. A feeling I only get when I hear a great song or read a enlightening passage. Your right about getting "the insight about others". I really feel in the real world (going to a on campus class) individuals place imaginary rolled up windows around themselves and dont open up after class to each other. Sometimes before class individuals will catch a quick conversation but lately I feel everyone jumps onto an imaginary highway and pass by oportunities to expand their thoughts and feelings about what was learned.
BTW like the title of your post. Makes me feel we are all on the same bus.
