Part 1:

The faculty gave presentations to show us what our PechaKuchas would look like. They showed a few of their works and presented with a short amount of time. One thing that was interesting to me is that all of their works are based on significant aspects in their life, such as the first one being about his love for video games, the second one about her children, and the third one being about photographing his family. It shows how your life can affect what you do your works about, mainly with inspiration.

Part 2:

When I first started going to this class, I thought it would be boring and that we would do nothing but sit around and here lectures we’ve heard about art 100 times. Instead, I was given a more interesting take on the topic. I was shown examples of artists working in all of the visual fields provided by St. Edward’s and what they do after college, taught how I could start, and what it takes to bring out yourself in your works and life. The professors were also very engaging, and every time I got to talk to them was fascinating. I was glad to get more than just a boring, re-lecturing class.
