What
were you expectations for this course and where they met?
I definitely believe
that my expectations of this course were met because when I first started this
class I did not know much about art. I did not know artists names, what they
were famous for, types of artwork, how to set up an exhibition, what an
exhibition was, what to look for at an art gallery, or how to approach starting
my own artwork.

Now
that you've been through this course, What is art? How would you define it now
compared to your intial posting?
In my first post I
wrote, “Throughout the semester I hope to learn anything about art. I do not
know much about art as of right now so this course will sure teach me may
things.” I have learned that art can be categorized into many different things.
After taking this course, I define art as creative pieces made by someone who
has something to express through physical artwork. Some artists may have a very
strong message to express through art, while other artists might just create
artwork to show off their work. I believe that art is absolutely important life
in one way or another.
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?
After taking this
course, Andy Warhol is definitely my favorite artist now. His piece, Campbell's
Soup Cans' reliance on themes from popular culture helped to
usher in pop art as a
major art movement
in the USA. I knew about this piece of art prior to taking this class, but I
have learned about pop art particullary through Andy Warhol’s art and how
important it was during that time and what kind of messages he was trying to
deliver.

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 am glad that I took this online course because it was a
simple way for me to get interested with art on my own time. Every time I went
to the art gallery for an assignment I did it on my own time so I could take
the time to actually look at the art and critique it without feeling rushed for
time. I also wrote in my first posting that I was nervous to take an online
course because I have never taken one before and I did not know how difficult
it would be. This course was pretty simple to understand electronically, and I
would refer this course to other students in the future.
