Classes
My favorite class ever since I started school was always art class. I love creating new things and getting messy. I ended up going to UNCC and majoring in Art with a concentration in Graphic Design. But my all time favorite class was my African American Art History Class. The teacher was so passionate about the subject and teaching that it made the class a breeze and a joy to come too. The best part about the class was we focused on local African American artists as well as national artists. Each week we had the usual lecture hall class where we looked at slides and talked about each image. Then each week we did a field trip, where we visited local galleries and local artists. I enjoyed meeting the local artists the most because it was a chance to meet a real artist that was making a living doing their art. One artist that I enjoyed, and sadly can't remember their name. Was creating art work, but also had started a community program where kids could come after school to learn art and get help with their homework each day. It was a way to keep kids off the streets and out of trouble. By the end of the semester my eyes were open to a new area of art and also new ways to use my art to influence my community. And this class was the only art history class I made a A in.

Classes
My favorite classes of all time have always been history ones. The two that top that list, however, were my travel seminar classes. In college, there was one professor who every year would take a two to two and a half week trip somewhere in the country with a small group of students. We learned on the road: at museums, battle grounds, national parks, etc. It was awesome. It's one thing to learn about a place, it's a completely different thing to learn about it while you're standing there. The two trips I had the pleasure of going on was the trip to the southwest borderlands (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona) with a day trip to Mexico, where I officially met and got to know my fiance, and the second trip was the Colonial/Revolutionary War trip (Massachusetts, New York, the east coast, and DC). The two classes totaled a month over the course of my first two summers of college... and they were the greatest classes I've ever taken.
Classes
I had two favorite classes Orchestra (played the violin from 5th grade through High School) and I actually enjoyed Chemistry..I know I'm a totally egg head. I actually took college level chemistry in high school. When I was actually in college I took chemistry, and slept in that class and ended up with 110 as an average...but I ended up leaving school to focus on working and being a mom.
Favorite class
I would have to say that my most favorite class of all time was Performing Arts 1 and 2 and chorus.
I was always at home on the stage and I am still friends with most of the people that were in those classes, and the musicals/plays, with me! The rest I am still trying to find :) Those classes helped me form life long friendships and self confidence.
If I could go back to high school and take just a couple classes again, with the same people, it would be those!

My favorite class has always been English. I love poems, literature, plays and both reading and writing. Even in high school I was in love with English and it was due to an English teacher named Ms. McIntyre.

It's been a while since I've been in school, but there are two classes that stand out as being favorites. I took Photography in both high school and college. I had a lot of fun completing the assignments. Learning the dark room and all the processes was a really neat experience. I still love photography. I don't miss the film side of it though. I'm glad I don't have to buy it or develop it!
My other favorite, suprisingly, was Criminal Justice. I took this as an elective in college while majoring in Sociology. I absolutely loved this class. It was intriguing and interesting. I learned so much. I even thought about switching majors to criminal justice, but that program was hard to get into at my school and I was already 2+ years into my Sociology major. I wouln't have wanted to be a lawyer or a law enforcement officer or anything like that. Maybe a paralegal or something in the field, though. The subject matter was just so captivating!
