Reaction to first day:

I must say, I was pleasantly surprised with the dynamic of this class. I felt more relaxed than I have in any classes so far, the people were easier to talk to, and the subject matter was very new and fascinating to me. I am slightly anxious because of my aforementioned lack of artistic ability, but I am excited to take on a new challenge! (however cheesy that sounds...) I am particularly looking forward the electronic music portion of this class, because a) I am also taking a music recording class and it's nice that I can expound upon those lessons in this class, and b) music is what I know best. I also want to use photography as a medium for some of these projects, with look rather intimidating up front but as I said, I'm ready for a challenge. I hope that this class expands my view on art along with my own artistic ability.

Enter name.

Your name is MADISON BASS. You are a FRESHMAN at the UNIVERSITY OF TAMPA studying NEW MEDIA PRODUCTION. You want to work with LIVE MUSIC because you are very fond of concerts and go to FAR TOO MANY. You have a variety of INTERESTS. You love music, though you are NOT VERY GOOD at playing it. Your favorite genre is SKA though you like NEARLY ALL TYPES of rock. You spend too much time on TUMBLR, and this has led you to like things such as Doctor Who, Sherlock, Homestuck, and other fandoms you spend TOO MUCH TIME thinking about. You are GOD AWFUL at drawing but think you are pretty ok at PHOTOGRAPHY.  This is the first blog post for your ART AND TECHNOLOGY class which you are QUITE EXCITED about. What will you do?

Madi: Post this and go do other work.
