Cheryl Finley I am an Assistant Associate Professor in the History of Art Department at Cornell University as well as an art critic, columnist and curator
...
and art consultant, I utilized my expertise to design the Art Market as an upper-level, undergraduate/graduate art history seminar in Fall 2009. This
is the first second time the course is being offered as a distance learning, on-line course.
Erica Gilbert-Levin I am a fourth-year student with a major in Government. I have been on an extended medical leave of absence from the
College of Arts and Sciences for several years, recovering from an illness, and now I am in the (very slow!) process of completing my remaining
credits on a long-distance basis. I was born in Evanston, Illinois, home to Northwestern University, Lake Michigan, and beautiful trees, and
now live in Upland, California, with my parents and two dogs. I have worked for Ms. Magazine, Move On, a political organization, and several
local newspapers in Chicago. I spend a lot of time reading and writing, hanging out with my friends, and doing yoga. I am one of those people
who is a fixture at independent coffee shops and bookstore. I like to talk (usually not to myself) politics, philosophy, and theory, and I used to
play soccer fairly competitively. This is the second Art History course I've taken at Cornell. The first was Black Arts Movement, which I took
last summer, also online and also with Professor Finley, and after that I began some independent research on race and art. I have always been
into politics and culture (and the politics of culture, and the culture of politics), but I tend to be timid about art since I know very little about art
in a purely aesthetic sense. But since Black Arts Movement, I've come to understand more concretely how relevant art is to the development

Hi everyone, I am Kim Phoenix. This is the first Art history class that I have taken; it will be my last as an underclassman. I will enter my
senior year in the fall and will be taking very packed semesters as I try to complete my degree by May. I have worked for the past 15 years
in the costume shop of the Theatre here at Cornell, sewing costume for the productions. As of May 2011 my position was eliminated soooo
I am finishing my degree through the Employee Degree program. I am enrolled in the Apparel Design Management program, which has lead
to my living in New York City for the summer doing an internship with the designer Natori. I am doing what is called technical design which
involves fitting the designs, also working with the manufacturing houses to make sure the clothing fits and looks like the designer envisioned.
I have always enjoyed the creative process of art and am looking forward to learning about the market. As a side note I have a cousin who
works for Christie's here in New York in their rare books collection so I am hoping to maybe get to see something there, I will keep you
posted. The picture is of me last summer fulfilling a life long dream going to Yellowstone National park and seeing Old Faithful. I did this
while visiting my son who lives just up the road in Big Sky, Montana.
