final blog!

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

I was not really sure what to expect for this course at first. I was not prepared for the amount of work that I was going to encounter for this course. My expectations were met in the sense that I did learn a lot about topics that I would not have learned about otherwise.


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

At the beginning of the semester I thought long and hard about a good definition of what art is. Now, I realize there is no proper definition. Everything is art. Even things around my house can be considered art. I think I have a broader understanding as to what art is and that it is okay to not have a perfect definition for it.


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?

I had trouble with my first blog so I was not able to post who my favorite artist was. However, if I had to answer now I would say by favorite artist is Monet. I really got to explore a lot of works by Monet and I can not think of a painting of his that I do not like.

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 have, and always have liked taking online courses. I personally do not care if I have interaction with my classmates and I am just more concerned about getting my classes done. This course, did have a lot of work in comparison to my other online courses.
