Hi everyone! My name is Alyssa Einhorn. I'm a senior and I'm double majoring in art and psychology. I took this class because it is required for my major, but I'm very exited about it and am very interested in learning how to conduct visual analyses on art works. I hope to go to grad school to become an art therapist and I'm also very interested in opening a store one day to sell my art work and the jewelry I make.

My name is Isabella. I am a studio art major about to start the graphic design program. I just spent a few months in florence for my semester abroad and being around all of the spectacular ancient art got me really excited to take this course. I am super interested in art as a creative outlet and hope to get my masters in art therapy. I believe art is all around us and is connected to everything we do. One of my favorite artworks is "The balcony" by Manet. I can't wait to work with you all!

Hello everyone, my name is Alex Kolb and I am an incoming Freshman currently in Letters and Sciences but trying to switch majors to Computer Science. I originally took this class and ARTH200 just to fulfill some gen ed requirements, but during the first art history session this summer I found that art history really is an interesting topic that may lead me to many more art related classes in the future.

Hello, my name is Orven Cruz. I am a junior and a Studio Art Major. Art history has always been one of those topics that i do not have a direct interest in but when i do find something that peaks my curiosity I cant rest until i find out everything i can learn about it and after taking ARTH200, I wanted to see what other art history topics UMD has to offer. I couldnt pick a specific favorite piece of art but any digital painting by Peter Mohrbacher never ceases to amaze me.

Hello, my name is Jess Mitchell. I am a junior at Eckerd College in Florida where I am a Human Development major and a Visual Arts Minor. I have been interested in learning more about art history since high school, but I have been unable to take a course due to scheduling conflicts. I am interested in learning more about the ways in which artists and their work are shaped by the world around them and vice versa. My preferred pronouns are she/her/hers. I don't know if I have a definitive favorite piece of art, but I'm often a fan of portraits, and while it's not a painting, I have lately been admiring the cover of Childish Gambino's concept album "Awaken, My Love!"

Hi, I'm David Kolb, I am a freshman studying biology. I chose to take this class because I enjoy going to museums and looking at fine art, but I would love to learn more historical context and analysis skills to further enjoy pieces I might see. The photo is me and my dog sneezing.

Hello, my name is Sang Chung, and I am a junior-year student, currently double-majoring in finance and operations management. Even though I did study Medieval Europe history, I realized I still lack knowledge in art history which undoubtedly played a major role in the cultural growth in Europe. An interesting fact about me could be that I am actually a visiting student to UMD for the summer term. I am only taking two courses this term for extra credits and my home institution is acutally located in Toronto, Canada. I am very happy to be in a class with you all. Thanks!!

Hi, my name is Maria Nikolaitchik and I am a freshman at UMD majoring in Statistics. Even though my focus lies in math, I have always loved both creating and looking at art. I decided to take this course because I wanted a deeper understanding of the art I view. The message behind each painting or sculpture, as well as how it is conveyed. Some more information about myself is that I sketch watercolor paintings in my free time. Finally, although it is difficult to choose a favorite, a work of art I love is Solitude by Alphonse Maria Mucha. I love all his works, from his traditional oil paintings to his art nouveau posters.
