Course Evaluation

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

I didn’t know what to expect until I read the syllabus for the course.  I had never taken an art course online so I wasn’t sure if we would have to actually do some art or if it was all just writing online in the blog or discussion forum.  I didn’t know how we would have to submit the art work that we did.  I obviously expected to learn about different artists and types of art and those expectations were met. 

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

Looking back, in my initial posting I wrote “I would say that art is everything around us - music, photographs, paintings, nature, etc.”  I still think the same things.  Art is all around us, it’s everything.  Even throughout this course and learning about different types of art, I still agree with my initial posting. 

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 posting I didn’t have a favorite artist and I don’t think I do now, either.  There are all kinds of art that appeals to me by all different artists.  I really enjoy the work of Georgia O’Keefe.  I’ve liked her since grammar school when we did flower art work then. 

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 really enjoy taking online classes.  I took another one this semester and have taken many before.  It allows me to work on my own in my own time which is when I do my best work.  I’ve always liked online courses, including in the beginning of the semester so I would say that my answer is the same.
