Blog Reflections

1.       My expectations were that I could learn a way to see the meaning of art and the way to what an artist is trying to express. I think they were met because I have a better understanding of how artists use art to express things. Also how critics and curators decide on what art to buy and what to not, and how they separate them in genres.

2.       I still think art is the same as in my original posting. I’d still define as something someone creates to show or express something.

3.       I still have a love of Van Gogh, but I’ve seen other artist now who catch my interest especially the lowbrow artists. I wouldn’t call them my favorite but I do rather like them, probably because their images aren’t abstract and that they use pop culture to express things in their artwork, and create images that aren’t  completely realistic still have enough realism to be recognizable as something. And also that they are very free with their colors and ideas. 

4.       I liked the online course, in fact I’m taking another next semester. I didn’t have an opinion because this was my first online class, but it was a good experience overall.
