Extra Credit, Final Chance

The assignment that I enjoyed the most was project 4. I enjoyed creating my slideshow/project. I liked how every student was able to use their own ideas and that we were able to view others and critique them. I enjoyed finding the pictures for my project and creating an exhibit. 

The assignment that I least enjoyed was module 4, the color theory. I did not enjoy using acrylic paint at all. I had to redo mine at least 3 times. I did not have the paint and didn't want to buy any because I knew that it wasn't likely that I'd use it again. So, I borrowed the paint from my neighbor. Luckily, he is very artistic. He did not have some of the original colors though, so I had to mix different colors until I found what would work. I know it was a simple project, but I put a lot of work into it and it really didn't turn out as well as I hoped.

I liked using ANGEL. I liked how the modules opened fairly early, so that I could manage my time well. I liked how we incorporated blogger with ANGEL to do reviews and discussions. It is easy to check my grades too, which is a plus.


I would recommend this course to my peers.

I am sort of disappointed that my artistic skills didn't really grow all that much. I picture things to turn out well in my head, but then when I draw them out, they look terrible.

If I could change the course, I would make it mandatory to view different art exhibits for each visit. I went to Albright Knox Art Gallery for the first visit and then I went to Burchfield Penny Art Center for the second visit. It was nice to see what each gallery had to offer. The material was different in each.

I would also try to incorporate an actual workshop at least once. That way all of the students could meet and help each other out, with artistic skills.
