First Post: The set up

Setting up the Gmail account and the Blog was very similar to setting up all my other online accounts, except I kept clicking back to my other window to make sure I was doing everything the right way because this is for a course and not leisure, so it made me a little nervous. 
I expect that this course is going to be really interesting and I am going to get a lot out of it. Being able to reflect on art pieces is a part of art that I never got to really do and I never really found someone or a friend who really enjoys discussing pieces with me.  I have always just done the painting or done the drawing never really discussed the details of what I was actually doing.  In the past my  high school art teacher would make us do a few critiques where we would discuss the compositions of our own pieces and our fellow classmates. I feel that in this class I expect to learn more about the principles of  composition that make up the historical and contemporary art pieces that we will look at.
I feel that taking an online course will be good for me.  I like doing research online, whenever I see new things or am curious about something I look to the Internet to answer my questions.  I feel at home here on my computer and though I can't communicate face to face, it's a new challenge and I am excited.
