First Class

So, a bit about myself...I am an Art student in my last semester at UT.  My concentration, and passion, is painting, but I love learning about art and incorporating different mediums and techniques into my work.  I am a serious bookworm, and read anything I can get my grubby little paws on.  I have a pitbull named Clementine who is the best little girl in the world.  I also love plants and gardening.

After attending class for the first time, I am rather excited.  I've taken a lot of art history and studio classes, but this class seems different, and I look forward to learning under Santiago's instruction.  Technology is something I've always been at odds with, and I hope to be able to work more peaceably with it in the future.  Mostly, I hope to find myself empowered to incorporate something new into my work.  I feel like studying art has (perhaps ironically) dampened my creativity, and I hope this class will do something to inspire me and regain some of my lost imagination.
