Module 9

1. Explain why you selected each of the TWO videos you choose from the selection listed above.
Albrecht Dürer: Image of a Master - Much like always, I chose this video due to the interesting title. The artist's name appeared interesting to me. Not only that, but the title of the video, "Image of a Master" made it seem as if it were gonna be empowering and enlightening.
 The Drawings of Michelangelo - I've heard a bit about Michelangelo, so I thought it would be cool to watch a video on him to learn more.
2. For each video list/discuss the key concepts you learned.
Albrecht Dürer: Image of a Master - He enjoys painting people. He's painted himself, one of his neighbor's, his mother, etc. 

 The Drawings of Michelangelo - A few of his drawings tell stories of the greatest commissions of his life. He enjoys drawing the human body.

2. How do the videos relate to the readings in the text?
They all explore with the artists through their creations of their work, give details on how they came to be, the process, etc.

3. What is your opinion of the films? How do they add depth to understanding of the readings and art concepts?
The films were nice. They add depth and understanding because it gives us more insight and a look in their world.

Module Four - Art Making/Material Exploration #1: Exploring Value and The Subtractive Color Theory Blog:

1. Discuss what you thought about creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel.     - Creating the scale was fun, but confusing. Confusing, because I wasn't sure if I had got the colors correct when mixing. It was also interesting to see all the different colors that were able to be made just by mixing them together. I've never made a color wheel before, so this was a nice experience getting to do so. 2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why?     - The painting and color wheel.

I've done a value scale last semester in my Drawing I class, so I wasn't too excited to be doing one again. 3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies?      - The most important discovery throughout all of this was the mixing of the three primary colors to create the one in the middle of the wheel. ...

Module 16 - Blog: Reflections of AED 200

1. What were you expectations for this course and where they met? My expectations for this course were somewhat met. I was expecting to do a few drawing projects, art gallery visits, etc. so they were met in that sense. However, I was not expecting us to do blog postings and such. 2. Now that you've been through this course, What is art? How would you define it now compared to your intial posting? I would define Art as someone's individual creativity or creation. 3. Who was your favorite artist in your original posting and who is your favorite visual artist now? If there is a difference, why do you think so? If you have the same favorite artist, why do you think so?  Andy Warhol was my favorite when I initially posted. Now, I might say it is Roy Litchenstein. I've began to enjoy his work a bit more of the past few months. 4. Now that you've completed this course, how do you feel about taking an online course? Is your answer the same as it was in your first p...
