Introductions and First Impressions

           Hello! My name is Gabrielle Boucher, but I prefer to be called Gabby. The Arts have influenced my life for as long as I can remember, and they definitely helped shape who I am today. I am a huge animal lover and I've played sports since I was a kid, but the power of musicals, movies, TV shows, and all other forms of art have always overshadowed other parts of my life. Watching movies (especially Disney) was my favorite past time when I was young, along with playing dress-up and having fashion shows, performing one woman shows for my family, and singing. Even to this day I am involved in musical theater and the arts are a huge part of my life.
           Because music, writing, musical theater, and even just talking are all passions of mine, I decided to major in communications. Although I am still far from knowing what job I want in the future, I am hoping my time at UT will lead me in the right direction. 
           The class Art and Technology seems like a great way for me to enhance my communication skills through visual arts. The fact that we will be doing a lot of online work makes me feel comfortable because technology is such a prominent force in today's world, so I'm glad that I'll become better acquainted with it. After only one class I'm excited to see what's to come, and I am absolutely thrilled that we will be looking into theater and different types of music. The videos of the Castrato's blew me away because I was so impressed, and it's amazing knowing that we'll be exploring more parts of the art world.
