After having such a good experience with my first few courses, I decided to sign up for some of the Applied Art and Design courses. Graphic arts was something I considered going into years ago, after high school. However, I chose a different path at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going back to school later in life has given me a much greater appreciation for the opportunity. Instead of viewing it as a chore or a means to an end, I feel it is a privilege, and I am very grateful. I look forward to the class lessons opening each week, opening the door to more knowledge I didn\u2019t have before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The amount of material in the website design courses is sometimes overwhelming.\u00a0 I have a growing pile of photography books on my shelve that I bought that I still haven\u2019t read, and I find I am adding to that with some coding and web design books.\u00a0 The plan is to get to them eventually!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been looking forward to this class.
