Geocaching



Geocaching is a fun and unique way of exploring the city. Not only are you involved in a worldwide scavenger hunt, but you get to learn the story behind the cache and visit some wonderful places that may be missed otherwise. I thought that geocaching really helped the class to bond more as a group since we were constantly working together to seek and solve the many caches. Geocaching has led me on some fun, exciting, crazy, sometimes even frustrating explorations but no matter what the outcome, I have walked away from each cache with great memories.

Philosophy of Art



While it remains purely subjective, art is a form of creative expression. How a piece is viewed and interpreted varies with each individual, though many have created guidelines in order to be able to analyze and classify forms of art. During this course I have learn at great deal about aesthetics and was able to gain a better perspective in regards to my own aesthetic. After taking this course, I am able to make a case why I like one piece over another and what makes it better. I really enjoy visiting the different galleries and have developed a better appreciation for art, in its many forms.
