Art History 411 - Intro

 Hello my name is Paige Schemenauer 

    I am a current BFA student with a focus in Photography and Graphic Design.  I'm taking this art history course in part because it is required but also I loved the other Art history classes I took and am excited to learn more. I think learning about the history of art helps me to better understand other people art and assist in the creation of my own works.  

    Currently I play Lacrosse for the university, work as a Photographer and graphic designer for Outdoor Pursuits on campus and Wake Up, a Marketing company in downtown Pueblo.  Personally I love traveling, however this pandemic has put a hold on that. I do a lot of hiking and love being outside. After graduating in May I wish to attend a Photography school in Europe.  

    Can't wait to learn this semester and see how this whole year plays out!

I choose this work of art because of the story behind it and the power that it brought to the time. I think this piece is still very relevant and showed early on the difference with art and the male and female body.
