After reviewing my first Blog and discussion for this course, I would say that most of my opinions have remained the same. I was expecting to learn about art interpretation, methods artists use and ways that I can use art in my life. These expectations were met to some degree or another. In addition to those I learned more about the history of art, countries and art and specific artists. I still define art as what any one individual sees as beautiful or inspiring. My opinion regarding my definition of art has been strengthened through this course. I did not choose a favorite artist at the beginning of the course nor would I say I have one now. I like to always keep an open mind. I do not have particular authors or singers that I would label as a favorite either. I just like what I like regardless of who it comes from. As I stated in my first posts, I enjoy online courses. I have taken several already and the flexibility in regards to time suit me perfectly. I must say of the 8 or so online courses I have taken this one has been the most involved with the most time consuming work. That could be due to my desire for perfection and others may not have felt the time required was more than any other course.
The opportunity/requirement to visit art galleries was a nice change of pace in my busy life and I'm glad to have done it. It was especially enjoyable that while on a trip to Massachusetts I was able to visit a wonderful gallery there that I otherwise would have passed by,
