Class review extra credit.

1.) I was a little worried about taking an art class online, but it turned out to be a lot better than I expected. I loved that we got opportunities to do so much. Between museum visits, my own artwork, and videos about different artists, and different media, and art through out the years. I expected to learn about the different art media, and elements that it takes to create a piece of artwork. I expected to learn how to interpret different medias and what they truly meant when the artist was creating them. I think a lot of my expectations were met, and I am very happy with the way this online course turned out.
2.) In the beginning of the semester I didn't quite know a lot about art and what it meant. I wasn't too involved in art other than what I've learned throughout the years in high school. I believe art is a great way to express so much through a type of media. I think artists show so much symbolism to represent what their artwork means. I think art is a way of showing elements and expressing themselves in a way most people may or may not understand. Art is everywhere and a lot of people don't realize that art affects everyday life. It shows up in so many different places, in so many different  forms. Art is truly incredible.
3.) In the beginning of the semester, I chose Damien Hirst as favorite artist at the time. I loved his color and I think he had a very interesting taste in artwork. Now finishing up with this class, I honestly can say I don't have a favorite artist. There are so many good artists out there that I enjoy now. I've seen so many different pieces that I have fallen in love with. Each artist has their own style and I like so many now. I still love Damien, but I think it is too hard to choose a favorite now.

4.) I think taking this class made it easier to take an online class. I still think it depends on what class it is but I think this class was very reasonable and I liked that you did not have to be on the computer everyday for this class. I think I will still be nervous to take an online class especially because I am a bad test taker but I definitely feel a lot better about it than I did in the beginning of the semester. This teacher was very helpful with an problems I had during this online process.
