art history notes / study aids

It all started with the Summer Session, 2004, Atlanta College of Art:

I couldn't take it any more. Studying for Art History tests using my puny little thumbnail sketches just wasn't cutting it. So I took my digital camera to class and got industrious with Photoshop CS and, well, here's the result: ELECTRONIC FLASH CARDS. How cool is THAT? Not perfect, but hey, good enough to study from... and a damn site better than my frenetic scribbles. (BTW - Until I figured out that I hadn't affixed the camera securely enough onto the tripod I got some blurry images in the beginning. Sorry about that. And thanks, Yesael, for showing me how to automate actions in Photoshop). All in all, this was an extremely helpful study aid for me, and my classmates were pretty happy about it, too. It was so helpful, in fact, I continued this for Art History II and III.

Note: Hope this is helpful to you. But don't sue me if there's any misinformation. Do me a favor, though. If you find errors, please email me and I'll make corrections! Somebody suggested I could get rich off this whole thing by passwording it and charging for access, but I think I'll just call it a day and chalk it up to "nice guy" syndrome... Lucky you... :>)
