Blog Setup

 

    We will setup our blogs Wednes­day 14-Jan in class; instruc­tions below.
    — feel to mod­ify and update yours as much as you’d like!

 

Once you cre­ate your blog, please post your link in a com­ment below.
*This is impor­tant so I have your URL! (to update the blogroll)

    Note if you’d pre­fer your blog to be pri­vate,
    fol­low these instruc­tions — be sure to give me (and class­mates?) access

  • Rec­om­mended: you can set indi­vid­ual posts and pages to pri­vate using Vis­i­bil­ity set­tings

 

In your first entry (a “post,” not a com­ment), briefly intro­duce your­self: flex­i­ble para­me­ters for this, but please include your major and grade level, as well as any other writ­ing courses you’ve taken; your cur­rent art classes (and any extra-curricular work/projects/interests);
your idea (“work­ing def­i­n­i­tion”) of your art field/medium in the 21st cen­tury,
given impact of tech­nol­ogy (dig­i­tal media, net­work­ing, con­sumer elec­tron­ics, apps, etc);
plus, any other inter­est­ing infor­ma­tion or media you’d like to share
(e.g. maybe an exam­ple of net­work art for your medium/field?
or a favorite image or video, meme from past or present? favorite or most-used “social media” platform?)
