The End

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

I had expected to learn about the history of how art got to where it is today and I was most interested on where we will be learning more about certain materials.

The subjects were touched on just not in the learning style I prefer but I guess.

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

Art to me is the expression of what is inside. Whether that be thoughts, sights, feelings everything. I have always felt that way.

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 has always been Frida Kahlo i doubt that will ever change because her personal life is just such a powerful story. Who can beat that?

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 enjoyed and still enjoy taking online courses. It is at your pace and control.
