First Blog

Tyonna F.

The process of creating my Gmail account was not difficult because I already have two separate email addresses that I was able to choose from. However, creating the blog post was a little tricky because I have never used this site before and I was unsure if I was following the steps correctly. I hope to learn about the different forms of art, media used in art, and new history in the art era. I would like to really learn about different forms of media used in art because it is very interesting to see what materials were used and how art transformed. I am open to taking an online course although at first I was not because I thought it would be more work. But, I am excited about visiting museums and learning from this online course!

I absolutely enjoyed the Growth Mindset videos because I am an advocate for learning and growing. I am believer that it takes doing things that make you uncomfortable in order for you to grow in all aspects, especially mentally. I enjoyed the well known facts about Michael Jordan and Wilma Rudolph using their set backs and hardships they faced as motivation to become successful. John Legend portion mainly applied to me because I am currently facing new challenges now as a soon to be college graduate. I started plans and followed through with my goals, and minor things have set me back but I realized I cannot be discouraged, and sometimes you have to readjust your goals. Also, he stated just because it does not work out the first that does not mean to give up which applies to having a growth mindset. I have a growth mindset for continuous learning and for myself I set goals, sub goals to reach the main goals, and I achieve.
