New York City and the Arts

There are two things that I always have time for: writing, and my brother. I mostly write random things on my mind but sometimes I put things together into poetry. During the Club Fair a writing club caught my eye that I am excited to join.

Aww, you’re actually reading this? Okay, fine.

I’m from the Bronx, born and raised, and I don’t see myself moving anytime soon. I’ve gone to private school for 12 years so Hunter is a big change. I absolutely love listening to music (metal, fifties, classical, salsa…). I spend at least 4 hours a day listening to and downloading songs. Around campus, you’ll might find me reading, knitting, sketching or at my new favorite club, Dumbledore’s Army ;D.

I’m planning on being a fine arts/art history/Spanish major…but that is subject to change.

If there’s anything else you want to know, feel free to message me. I’m nice, promise.

My name is Polina, I’m a freshman at the Macaulay Honors College at Hunter College. I am studying to become a veterinarian. Animals make me giddy.

Ello, You all know me already but I’m Nicole and I can usually be seen dancing on the 8th or 9th floors of the Brookedale Campus. Dance is probably going to be the most interesting topic I will learn in the Arts in NYC seminar since I can relate to it the most. Despite this, I don’t think anything will top being on the ledge of the Woolworth Building- unless I end up on top of other buildings. Alright, see ya later friends. 🙂

Lol jk, I actually look like this…

I am an ITF at Hunter College, and I’m completing my PhD in History at the CUNY Graduate Center.  I have a close relationship to the Arts in New York, because I have worked as an editor at Playbill.  Plus– my husband is a painter and he knows a lot about galleries, etc.

I am happy to work with this class!

I am undecided about my major. I like some forms of art and I consider bodybuilding an art form . Art can be fun, but it can also be boring in my experience just like the rest of life in general.

Lesson plan for Wednesday, October 6th.

By the end of class, during class, you should have accomplished all of these things:

1. Join the ePort system (!)
2. Edit your profile with a correct photo and your full name
3. Join this New York City and the Arts site

Today, we will learn and begin to execute the following skills, which you will post to this (About Us) page:

1. How to create a post and categorize it
2. How to insert an image into a post (and resize and situate that image)
3. How to comment on someone else’s post, and Professor Jablonka will discuss the role of commenting in our class
4. How to insert a video into a post
5. How to feed the Professor’s announcements to your email

Today, we will discuss the following decisions:

1. What is this site, to us?
2. How public should our site be?
