Module 16: Bye Foundations of Art Inquiry


1. What were you expectations for this course and where they met? * My expectations for this course was that I would have a new found respect for art work and to truly understand how to approach art. I definitely think that my expectations were met. Going to the art gallery and learning how to analyze art work was actually an enjoyable experience. It takes more effort to breakdown the meaning of a piece of art than I initially believed prior to taking this course. I honestly believe all art courses should be structured like this one because it makes you work hard to understand art. It was fun to make drawings of myself and color wheels.
2. Now that you've been through this course, What is art? How would you define it now compared to your intial posting? *Art is a form of expression that includes elements and principles used universally to analyze and understand works of art. Art can be in the form of music, visuals, designs, etc. I think my definition this time, having taking this course, is more detailed and thorough.
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 artist in my first post was Vincent Van Gogh and I liked his painting called "Starry Night". He is still my favorite artist and that is still my favorite picture. The picture is just calm and collective feeling for me so I will always enjoy it.
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 like taking online classes and yes my answer is still the same as in my first posting. However, I realize that I need to pay more attention to deadlines and make sure I look ahead at course work before I start it so that I can have it done in a timely manner. I would take another online class again though.
