Why are you taking this class? What do you most want to get out of it?

I am taking this class because I really like using SolidWorks already and I thought it would be neat to learn another CAD software.  In addition, I think it will be cool to be able to model a lot of different objects or other sculptures in an artistic way rather than just for engineering purposes.

Are there any particular topics or techniques that you’re hoping to learn about in this class?

I think it would be interesting to learn how to make something look like-life. For example, I think it would be really neat to make a sculpture of a wolf or some other animal in the middle of running.

In your opinion, what makes a work of art interesting, worthwhile, or compelling—to put it simply, what makes a work of art good?  Why do you feel this way?

I think art is good when I look at it and I feel a sense of emotion.  I want to look at something unique and powerful.  Often times this can be a realistic portrait but other times I think art can be good when the artist changes something about the object which is being modeled.
