Final Blog Posting

1.    Which assignment did you ENJOY working on the best? Why?

   I really like the assignments that encourage me to try and do art myself.  The color wheel,    the self portrait and others.  Those brought a challenge and put the books to real work. 

2.    Which assignment did you ENJOY working on the least? Why?

   I enjoyed the video assignments the least only because they were so time consuming.           Maybe if the videos were only 20-30 mintues each it would have been easier to manage        with a busy schedule. 

3.    How did you like using BLACKBOARD?

   I think blackboard is a great tool.  Much better than Angel.

4.    What is your opinion of the Discussion Groups in this course?

 The discussion groups through blackboard are a great way to interact with teacher and    other students in a distance learning class. 

5.    Did you participate in any of the extra credit projects in previous modules? If so, what was your opinion of them? (mandala, elgin marbles, culture, art critics)

    Everytime I saw the extra credit projects I wanted to do them but simply didn’t have the         time to do it.  With my busy schedule, if I’m given the opportunity at something being             optional I’ll have the greatest intentions to do it but when it comes to managing the time to     actually get it done, I always opt out because it’s optional.

6. If you had the opportunity to change this course:

What would you keep?  

      I would keep it all.  The class really touches a lot of different angles and keeps us       involved. 

What would you remove?  

       I wouldn’t really remove anything, maybe less video assignments and add some       different hands on ones.

What would you add?  

      I really like the videos that we got to see artists actually doing the work, hands             on.  Rather than a lecture style video, these were better to look at as it seemed to       be more relatable to what was read in the book. 

7.  Would you recommend this course to your peers?

             I would definitely recommend because this is a great learning experience.

8. Please list any other comments you would like to share.

I am definitely overall satisfied that I took this class and I learned a lot.
