final log

Mt expectations of this course ws to learn about art.  I felt it went more in depth into history of art and I was happy to see that.  Some of the information from the textbook I was able to use in discussiong art in Mexico for my one class.  I also think that some of the videos were very informative.  I wasn't really a fan of the interveiw ones however.  Art is everything around you, anything that can be open to intrepatation.  THis doesn't really go more indepth from the beginning of the year but I definetely know more about how to look at art including elemenets and principles and being receptive.  I didnt have a favorite artist when i started because i didnt know much about art.  I have a lot of artist I like now.  I enjoy the classical main artists but I do also enjoy Frido Kahlo.  I learned about her in my Mexico class as well.  I like the way she incorporates her emotions and her feelings towards deigo rivera her husband in several of the works.  I had the oppurtunity to study her as well as deigo rivera and the mural movement more in depth and i was very interested.  This particular online course had a lot of very specific deadlines through out the week and it was hard for me to meet them because of school work and children.  I thought it was going to be more leasurely.  I would of found it easier to have some of the friday assignments due on saturday.  I still prefer to take this course online however.
