1. While creating the value scale and color wheel, I had a lot of fun. Making the value scale was interesting because it took me a couple tries to get the perfect amount of darkness or lightness in a box. For the color wheel, it was hard for me to make the color black but I got it as close as I could as a dark brown color.

2. I enjoyed working with the paint the best because there was more thinking involved and it was fun to make more colors besides the ones showed!

3. The most important discovery while doing this was to carefully learn how to properly handle the type of media you are working with. It makes it easier and looks better when you know what to do!

4.The most important information I learned was to use cyan, magenta, and yellow instead of red green and blue for primary colors. I thought the videos were VERY helpful, but I do wish the color wheel one had sound!

module 12

I chose 'Art of the 50's and 60's' and 'Uncertainty: Modernity and Art' because I love everything about the 50 and 60's era and am hoping the modernity video is about how art has expanded. 2. In 'Art of the 50's and 60's' I learned that many comic book characters are put together in the same way and viewed the same way. Also, I learned how to dissect a photo to better understand how a portrait was put together in the way that it was. In 'Modernity and Art' I learned that modern art is very hard to interpret and many people wish it wasn't. I realized that there is a lot of emotion behind the random strokes in a painting and nothing is meaningless. I always asked myself why I couldn't be famous for splatter painting on a canvas but I now see there is a lot of heavy detail behind the randomness of artwork. 3. These videos relate to the text because they both explain the many fine details that make or break the artwork and the...

1. I selected 'Matisse and Picasso' because I wanted to learn more about the famous artists that they are. I never knew much about them and was eager to find out. I also chose 'Expressionism' because it seemed interesting and was hoping it would teach me how artists chose the expressions on their artwork and what they meant behind them. 2. In 'Matisse and Picasso' I learned that Matisse and Picasso were both very different. I learned that Picasso added a lot to his works. He would come back everyday and restart on his painting, adding something new every time. In 'Expressionism', I learned that artists emphasized emotion to tell a story in their artworks. There were sad emotions expressed to signify death and to give details to the audience when looking at the artwork. 3. The videos relate to the reading in the text because they both give us reasons and ways that artists connect with their audience. 4. My opinion of these films were mixed throughou...

module 16-reflections of AED 200

1. My expectations of this class was to learn more about the background of art and these expectation were beyond met. I learned more than I thought I would which is great! 2. In my first post I said art is a from of creativity and a way to express oneself. I still believe in this but I also want to add that art isn't just about opinion and how the artist views things. The artist will gear towards a certain audience and actually leave out their personal opinions of the artwork and put aside their feelings in one's work. 3. Vincent Van Gogh was my favorite artist and now it is Claude Monet. Monet is my favorite because I have seen many of his painting of flowers in fields and the texture look of his art makes it even better. 4. I love online courses! My view on them are the same from the beginning because I knew it would take more self discipline but I love it! I learned a lot doing everything on my own.
