Project #1 Objective: Create a blog to share things you are learning and researching that relate to visual art (film, animation, graphic design, painting, photography, etc.). The goal of this assignment is to gain an understanding of the internet and web design.
Here I am, winding down at the end of the summer semester. My Project 1 parameters have almost been met, and the whole exercise has become somewhat addictive. This blog has been a great tool for keeping track of research that I make mental note of along the way and sharing my progress as a student. But admittedly, I find myself getting more excited about the traffic to the site by the day. It started out with my online classmates, then trickled to family and friends… until international flags started lighting up on the Stats map! Then my whole family was hooked, from which stemmed the realization, “We must conquer the world!” (in your best Dr. Evil voice)
While I am fairly certain where the Canadian hits originated (…a shout out to my cousin, Sandra, & sister-in-law, Tanya! Thanks for being the first to bridge the international gateway! 🙂 …), I’m not sure what drew visitors from the UK, Brazil & Germany. Regardless of the reason, my son has now determined that we must gain recognition in Madagascar. You can imagine where the interest was born. Here is a hint:
Da-da-dada-dada-da-da-Circus
Da-da-dada-dada-da-da-Afro
Circus-Afro-Circus-Afro
Polka-dot, Polka-dot, Polka-dot… MOVE IT!!!
Yeah, what can I say, we love the movies. Anyway, I can see the value in continuing to ‘journal’ about this academic road I travel. This will help me to maintain focus, to keep trudging toward my goals – my ultimate “Fitztopia” – and with hope in my heart, may even inspire a few other moms to open their minds to their own possibilities. So with my bright pink Jansport on my back, and a constant stream of java in my cup, I am unstoppable…
