Final reflection

1.) My expectations for the course were to learn about art through different ways and interpretations. I wanted to be able to look at art and appreciate it.  My expectations have been met.

2.)  Now, I think art is everything.  You can take anything you look at and see a form of art in it, similar to the one project we did where we took pictures of things around the house to represent the elements and principles of art.

3.) I do not really have a favorite artist.  I have learned to appreciate the different techniques of different artists.

4.) I enjoy online classes.  I have a busy schedule so it is nice to be able to do things at your own pace.  I had the same thoughts in the beginning as I have taken online classes before.

1.) I selected the inspiration pieces because I liked how they looked, very poised and detailed.

2.) I selected the media to create my self portrait because I think pencil is easier to use for small deatils.

3.) Some challenges I faced creating the portrait was making my face and features proportioned.  I overcame this by making an even grid and setting my features in the grid.

4.) This piece represent me because it is a picture of me.

5.) In the picture I applied line, shape, value, and proportion.

6.) I did enjoy doing this project I learned a lot about myself.

7.) I think my final art work came out better than I expected.

Module 15 reflection

1.)  I reviewed "Being an Art Curator "Impressionism" ", "The Beauty in Darkness", and "True Beauty of Nature in Darkness". 
2.) I chose the exhibit I did because I was intrested in the pictures that were presented.
3.) Some of the challenges I faced writing the critque was how I could relate the exhibit to things in my life.  To overcome this I took some time viewing the image and thought about what came to my mind.
4.) I think critquing peer work is a good exercise and you can get some good feedback from someone who is in the same position you are.
5.) I would like to read my peer critiques because I would like some feedback and suggestions.
6.) On a scale from 1-10 I would rate my article an 8.  I did not meet the length requirement but I fulfilled the requirements of what needed to be included in the article.
7.) I did enjoy working on this project.

Module 15

1.) In the Greenberg on Art Criticism: An Interview by T. J. Clark video I learned about this particular artists experience with the evolution of art criticisms into mondern art.  He also talks about the "culture boom" which is when art began to evolve after WWII.  In the The Critics: Stories from the Inside Pages video I learned about what critics though of art through the findings of a man who traveled the world to discover the answers.  He learned how crtitics began their work and stuggles they faced.  In the video The Colonial Encounter: Views of Non-Western Art and Culture I learned about non western culture and its influence on art in ways through ethnography and art consumption.
2.)  The videos relate to the Art criticism project by adding depth to the insight of art critics and what they experience and how different places view things differently.
3.) I thought the films did a good job expanding my knowledge of the topic.  They added more real life understanding.

Project 4 Reflection

For my project I just thought about what love means.  Then I thought about what love is composed of.  I came up with passion, devotion, heartbreak, etc.  I found images that were mostly colorful because I relate color to happiness and happiness to love.  I found images that I could relate to.  I chose a standard format for the presentation and changed the backround color to flow with the image for the slide.

Module 13 & 14

1.) In the The Lowdown on Lowbrow: West Coast Pop Art video I learned about curator art and how it is done and from different artists perspectives.  In the Displaying Modern Art: The Tate Approach video I learned about different issues that occur and what goes into the displaying of artwork in art museums.  In the Bones of Contention: Native American Archaeology video I learned about the different findings that are still occuring with Native American findings.  In the An Acquiring Mind: Philippe de Montebello and The Metropolitan Museum of Art video I learned about Philippe de Montebello and his contibutions to the artworld.

2.) The videos shed light a little for my project.  They were not a direct reflection or anything designed to my project but gave me some insight.

3.) I thought the films added depth to my knowledge and understading to the art concepts I came across while doing my project.
