I am already running behind on this blog it seems! I completely forgot to update and somewhere in my head I thought I already had. I am still having trouble trying to identify just was kind of voice I should be using in these blogposts. Whether it should be informal like traditional blogs or more formal due to the content and the fact it is counted for a grade? I will just keep tinkering until I find what voice I feel comfortable using, I guess.
This is for WEEK 2: Modernism.

The readings for me were extremely intense. I have never had to read so much very dense material and compare it to each other. I was/am actually still at a loss for how to appropriately do so. It feels as though there was too much information to easily summarize the articles together. Then again I have never been asked to so such a task in my other college classes with these types of materials, so once again it is new territory for me. Hopefully I can adapt quickly.

Welcome one and all to my blog.

I am not a newcomer to blogspot or keeping a blog so I will do my best with this one.
My name is Alissa Tyler but I commonly go by Ali. I am an undergraduate Art History major at the University of Arkansas and this hopefully...it should be... you know, transfer credit problems is my last semester before graduating.

My class load is pretty intense for my last one because I have got to make sure I have all the credits I need. (Again... the U of A has trouble transferring credits...) I have 6 classes I am enrolled and participating in but luckily one is an online half semester class. The others are upper level art history and anthropology courses. To be specific, I am in Baroque Art, American Art to 1960, Honors Colloquium Women in Rembrandt's  Holland, History of Apparel Through Film to 1900, World Prehistory, and finally a Critical Theory Seminar for which this blog is for.

I will be posting my reviews on art history articles and papers we will go over in class. I will try to find links or at the least post information about each article in review. Hopefully I will also post fun little tidbits about art/art history that I find amusing, relevant or just something I find to be interesting.

I hope you enjoy and gain a bit of appreciation for art history in my posts to come!
Cheers!

Ali
