Reflection of AED 200

1. What were you expectations for this course and where they met?
I expected this class to be simple, since I had taken several courses like this before, but I expected to get some good experiences with other materials. I think with the last self-portrait project alone, the expectations were met. I got a cool semi-abstract portrait, and a review of art concepts, styles, and periods.

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 described art as a way of expression. Anything that you create could be considered art. Now I would say it is anything that is aesthetically pleasing. Anything that catches your eye, even for a second. The most interesting art would have principles and elements, and contain some type of underlying meaning.

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?
In my original post I didn't give a favorite artist, and I don't think I have one now either. There are several that I'm interested in, but I like each one for different reasons, and as times change, and styles change, I find more new inspirational artists. I definitely took more of an interest towards abstract and conceptual art during this course though, so those artists are a central focus right now.

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 had taken a few online classes before, but never with Angel, so it was a little different. I enjoyed it. Everything was easily accessible, and the work was a reasonable amount for the time we had to do it. The only thing I feared was getting behind, but it wasn't a problem at all.
