Reflecting

1. My expectations were to learn more about art history, how to use art materials, and about what kind of artist I am. They were met. Especially the last one. I realized that I like to do a lot of self-reflective work based on how I am feeling or what I am currently experiencing. I have been sketching more since I started taking this class.

2. “For me, I define art as a way to express myself without using words.” This still stands. Even more so than before. I’ve always loved the expression “A picture is worth a thousand words” because it is true. There is so much to be said through that cannot really ever be ‘said’ verbally.

3. My favorite artist was Michelangelo. Now I am interested in Frida Kahlo. A lot of her pieces really spoke to me and I connected well with them. It was nice to explore new artists and see where I could most relate.

4. I feel great about taking online courses. I was excited in the beginning to take an online course and I felt that I was self-motivated enough to get through it and I was. It was a wonderful experience and I plan to take more in the future.
