My expectations for this course were to do well, earn high grades, and overall gain a greater understanding of how I can become a more compassionate art teacher. I think I definitely earned good grades, like I wanted, but I think I will have to apply the knowledge I learned in order to see whether I will become a compassionate art teacher. So in a way, this is an ongoing learning process, but doesn't mean I didn't reach my expectations. I don't at all think my definition of art has changed, it is different according to each person, and can have multiple definitions, but mainly it surrounds creativity, skill, and emotion. By using these qualities, and not being afraid to create something different, art is successful.
My favorite artist is still Chuck Close, because I love and identify with self-portraits, and I think it is so creative and mind-boggling how he creates a larger image out of many smaller ones. His work blows me away, and i would love to create a piece, using the same techniques.
After taking this course, I still feel like I could definitely take another online course without a problem. As much as I hated sacrificing gorgeous summer days, this course taught me time-management, and that I could reward myself by having free time if I completed the necessary assignments. I think a 200 level course is tolerable online, if it were any higher, I might have difficulties, but so far I have done well, and am pleased with my resulting grades. When I first started out taking this course I had a mixture of confidence and nervousness, but at this point I am completely confident I did well, and will continue to do well.
