Exploration, Artifacts, and the Mapping of Experience

Image
LOUISVILLE WATERFRONT The Louisville Waterfront is one of my favorite places to go during the summer; I absolutely love walking around the waterfront, driving down River Road, and walking across the bridge to downtown Jeffersonville to grab a drink and bite to eat. For me, the experience is a very relaxing (assuming you didn't ruin your feet with cheap sandals), summertime thing to do. Although Louisville doesn't have many street artists, it is kinda cool to see the occasional musician or artist performing on the bridge. It's also a great place for people watching! • • • • • • • •  As for my artifacts, I complied all of my media (video, photos, audio, & interview) into a short video using Premiere Pro for the footage and GarageBand for the audio. While it's definitely not perfect and could use some fine tuning, I thought this might be a good way to compile my experience in this way.

My love for corgi puppies is on par with my love for the arts. Hi! I'm Meg, from Louisville, Kentucky, and I am a senior Photography & DAT (Design, Arts, Technology) major with a minor in art history at Bellarmine University. I have a passion for photography, and also enjoy music, movies, and dogs. I have always wanted to go to England, so I figured this would be a perfect opportunity! I'm very excited to be taking a ton of photos and learning about art. I'm really looking forward to this class because I know we will be visiting a ton of interesting places around London and I want to see as much of the city as I can. I'm hoping I won't spend a bunch of money while I'm over there and while I'm not crazy about theatre, I'm really looking forward to experiencing the culture of England. While I don't really have much of a bucket list, I'm definitely looking forward to visiting museums and art galleries, going to pub, and visiting Highgate C...
