1. What were you expectations for this course and where they met?
I had many expectations for this course. I think that most of them were met. This course made me appreciate art more than I used to in the past. I found this course to be very enjoyable. I learned that art is another form of communication because the artist can express their feelings through drawing. I learn how to look at art and analyze it to find out what message the artist may be trying to deliver. Only expectation which I had that was not met by this course was learning how to paint. Maybe it would have been different if it wasn't an online class but I still have not developed the skills to use my creativity and present it in the form of art.
2. Now that you've been through this course, What is art? How would you define it now compared to your intial posting?
I think art is everything. Everything around us has artistic qualities to it. Art is not just painting and drawing, it can be sculpting, writing, building, photography...I learned that there is no such thing as "bad art" because everyone has their of transforming an idea into art.
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 visual artist at the beginning of the course was Leonardo Da Vinci. Even though we did not look into his work as much as I would like in this course, he is still my favorite virtual artist. I think Picasso made a huge influence in the art world with his cubism movement but Da Vinci's work is still famous today. Da Vinci also dedicated his life to many other projects in life and that makes him the most recognized artist today.
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?
If I could take another art class, I would prefer to do it in person rather than online. I learned a lot in this course, but it's easier to learn in a classroom and get immediate feedback from the professor. I took this course online because I thought it would be easier and I would be able to set my own schedule. Taking an online course was less stressful and I enjoyed it. I still believe taking the class in-person would be even more enjoyable and would allow me to learn more about the subject because you don't have to do the work by yourself.
