Step 4- The Process of Setting Up My Blog

1.  The process of creating a new GMail account was easy just because I am familiar with it and have had to do it several times before.  Setting up the blog was a little more challenging because I have never done it before and had to figure out how to get into creating the blog.  I was a little frustrated because I saved my password to my new GMail account and until I signed back out the blogger page would not allow me to create a new blog.  This process took me a few tries and longer than the average person just because it was new and I didn't know the correct steps already.

2.  I expect to learn how to interpret didn't types and works of art.  I also expect to learn more about the history of art and how it came to be such a huge part of our society.

3.  I love online courses because I work full time as well as go to school full time so it is one less class I have to travel for.  I chose to only take one online course each semester because sometimes they can be challenging depending on the way they are set up.  Although there are some difficulties with online courses, overall I feel that they are a good fit for me and my busy life.

4.  The three things in the Growth Mindset videos that most apply to me:

• The part when she talks about how the successful people worked hard to reach their goals, and they didn't give up when they faced setbacks.  She states how they had a growth mindset.  Although I have lots of room for improvement, I feel that I try to keep moving forward even when I fail.
• Another part of the video is when John Legend talks about how people just think if they are not good at something they never will be.  I feel that this applies to me because I felt and still feel that way about art.  I was never into art growing up or showed any signs of artistic ability, but I really enjoy the process of art making and the benefits and effects it has on society.
• The last part of the video that I feel applies to me is the growth mindset and fixed mindset definitions.  Although I feel that I have a growth mindset there have been times when I doubted my ability to become better at something.
