Relfections on AED200

1. What were you expectations for this course and where they met? My expectations for this course were to to learn more about art and art education and to become more comfortable with my artistic side. I think my expectations were met- I learned creative ideas to get students to interact with art and understand information through art and the projects I did definitely made me more comfortable with being artistic.

2. Now that you've been through this course, What is art? How would you define it now compared to your initial posting? In my initial posting I defined art as anything that can be appreciated and admired. Now, I think art is anything that is created. Art doesn't have to be appreciated to be art. Some art is hated and some art creates controversial. Yet, that is why it is art. Maybe I'd define art as something create that communicates a personal idea.

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 are Monet, Renoir, Dali, Degas. These will remain the same. To me they represent classic, sophisticated art. We have learned from this class that all art grows from the originators such as these men.


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? This isn't my first online course, I am always a little bit intimated when I take online course. It is a lot of reliance on yourself with no one to remind you of what you need to do. I think my success in this course has made me less fearful of taking online courses and helped with my organizational skills.
