Art

This past semester I've been taking Humanities 202 as my last GE. I was not excited that I would be taking a course full of freshman and sophomores, much less a class where the subject matter did not appeal to me in the slightest. Last semester's class of Humanities 201 was somewhat of a disaster, so I didn't expect much better from this course.

Here is how I felt before the class.

But, I was pleasantly surprised. Dr. Soper is an incredible, fun teacher and he livened up the material to appeal to those (people like me) who did not want to be in the class. We acted out Hamlet in an hour, read some crazy funny pieces of literature, and explored all facets of the humanities.

Here is how I felt during the class.

Surprisingly, I did quite well on all quizzes, papers, assignments, and exams. I was actually enjoying the class!

Here is how I felt after the class.

Now that Humanities 202 is over, I can finally admit that I've learned to appreciate art. While it still is not my chosen choice of profession or topic of conversation, I can discuss art in a sophisticated manner and actually have things to add when various pieces of art or artists are brought up. In fact, I kind of like art. Okay, I really like art.
