1. I expected to learn the different forms of art and the way things are represented in art. I wanted to have a better appreciation and understanding for art works. Everything I expected and wanted to learn from this course I got. I actually got more than I expected from this course.
2. Now that I went through this course my definition of art remains the same with the addition, that art is all around us. That the elements and principles of art is in every aspect of our every day art. That art doesn't just have to be the paintings on the walls but go far beyond the walls. That history has an important influence on art. It is therapeutic to me because I had to actually engage myself in some projects that created a sense of calmness within me.
3. I didn't have a favorite visual artist in my original posting, but now I like Picasso and the abstract ideas. More modern artist I like Kara Walker. I like Picasso and his abstract work because you have to really look at the picture and sometimes you can look at it a few times and notice something new and different each time. I like Kara Walker because of her depiction of the African American heritage and the style and mediums she used in her art work.
4. My answer is still the same. Online courses are nice. The instructor for this course provided us with great resources to allow us to complete the tasks assigned. Online courses requires more self discipline but are convenient. Beats having to go out in the snow and walk across campus.
