Art 235, The Beginning (Introduction)

Hello all, and welcome to my new art history blog. My name is Andrew Rosenthal I am from Gig Harbor, Washington and am senior at Central Washington University. I am a law and justice major attending the Pierce County Satellite Campus, although I did spend my first two years in Ellensburg. Along with school, I am currently interning in the field I want to work in after I graduate (law enforcement) and it has been a blast.

On a more personal note, my interests are pretty vast. Some of my frequent outdoor hobbies include snowboarding, running, hiking, and walking my dog. The other side of me is very into music, reading, history, and getting a constant eight hours of sleep when I can.

Art has never been my strong suite, I am taking this class primarily because of my interest in history, primarily medieval Europe and Ancient Rome. I was fortunate enough a few years back to be able to visit the "Roman Art from the Louvre" exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum which I enjoyed quite a bit.  One type of artwork I am particularly interested in is architecture, particularly Gothic architecture and I hope to explore this further as the year goes on.
