Reflections of AED 200

1. What were you expectations for this course and where they met?

 My expectations were to be able to understand what an artist wants you to see in their work, and to learn about different styles of art.  Both of these were met with great results.  I am now much better at seeing what an artist wants you to see.  Also, I understand the different styles of art and have learned some new ones.

2. Now that you've been through this course, What is art? How would you define it now compared to your intial posting?

I still believe that art is anything that you do to express yourself.  However, now I believe that art is anything that you do to express someone else as well.  It is still not just a piece of writing or a painting.  

3. Who was your favorite artist in your original posting and who is your favorite visual artist now? If there is a difference, why do you think so? If you have the same favorite artist, why do you think so?

My favorite artist before was Antoni Gaudi.  I feel that he is still my favorite visual artist because I got a chance to see his works of art up close when I went to Barcelona three years ago.  His artwork has stayed in my mind and I will never forget it.


4. Now that you've completed this course, how do you feel about taking an online course? Is your answer the same as it was in your first posting? How is it the same or different?

 I feel that taking an online course allows you to take your time on things.  If you are having a busy week then you can do the work on the weekends.  Also, online courses allow you to get ahead.
