1. What were you expectations for this course and where they met?
My expectations were met above and beyond. As I discussed in the extra credit evaluation I had a hard time managing everything on my plate but I felt the actual class was very rewarding. I’m a sensitive soul that loves to appreciate things and you gave us several opportunities that opened my eyes to amazing artists, paintings, sculptures, and styles. I enjoyed exploring the world of art. I wrote in my first blog entry that I expected to learn about the history of art and boy did I take in a lot more than that!
2. Now that you've been through this course, What is art? How would you define it now compared to your intial posting?
Art is using imagination to create or convey ideas and concepts. It’s creativity and having a vision that you wish to express whether it’s conventional or not.
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 artists have always been those that I’m most familiar with such as Van Gogh but now my favorite artist is Seurat. I’m blow away by Pointallism. I think it’s mind boggling… The time, the effort, and the precision that goes into the placement of each dot it truly remarkable.
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 enjoy online courses but sometimes it’s nice to have interaction with the classroom especially when asking for suggestions and getting to know both the teacher and the classmates on a more personal level. My answer is the same. I think online courses help when physically going into the classroom each day is not exactly an option.
