module 16 (final)

1. What were your expectations for this course and where they met?
My expectations for this course were to learn about ways that you can develop art and to explore more artists and their work. I also wanted to learn about the various steps that go into generating different types of art. I would definitely say that my expectations for this course 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?
Art is a component of life that is considered an expressive outlet for individuals. It is a way that people both express who they are and also paint a picture of things taking place in the world. Art can be a way in which individuals generate a response and document things that are taking place whether socially or politically. There are a variety of ways in which art can be expressed, such as through paintings, photographs, sculptures or even putting pieces of items together that interest you. My definition of art was similar to what it is now, however I have learned more which allowed me to expand on that.
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 original posting was Leonardo da Vinci. My favorite artist is still Leonardo da Vinci. I have always loved his work, and because of this class I was able to explore more of his pieces and learn more about him as an artist. I got the opportunity to connect more with his work and develop a greater appreciation for him as an artist.
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 always loved taking online classes, and I still do. I think online classes are more convenient for me ad they allow me to have a more flexible schedule to do other things such as work.

Why did you select the inspiration pieces? I selected the inspiration pieces because I loved the work by this particular artist. The fact that the artist is a woman also was inspiring in itself because we do not often see them being celebrated in the art world. The confidence that I see in these painting I also see in myself and thought they would be a great representation. 2. Why did you select the media to create your self-portrait?

Since I am not great at art, I knew I would be making quite a few mistakes and wanted to be able to ea
