Art History
So, we got our first midterm back.
I know I didn't study that much - In fact, I hadn't read two chapters in the book, and a huge section of the coursepack. I also didn't really memorize any dates or anything, so I'm surprised I got anything right at all. But I also forgot some really stupid things like how Brunelleschi invented linear perspective, and how the Medici family owned Boticelli's Primavera. And I can't believe I lost two freaking points because I said Jan Van Eyck's Arnolfini Wedding Portrait was from the 1440's instead of 1434.
I'm just frustrated overall with this class because I thought I'd be doing better in it having taken Architecture History [also from the Renaissance] and having studied Art History in AcaDec. I know what I'm talking about, and I bet I can give more background information than anyone else in the class. It's just not translating to paper.
I guess I'm going to have to pwn [haha, duran] the next exam and paper.
