The Good, the Bad and the Art

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

I really enjoyed the Art Gallery visits. The only galleries that I seem to visit these days would be the small venues at the local fairs or if I spot something out while driving around. The Gallery visits were great and I liked reading others thoughts about pieces that I had chosen also.

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

The one project that I hated for some reason was the value and color wheel. When it comes to shading and coloring, this has just never been my strong point. I don't know if its just lack of training or because I am slightly color blind (reds/greens) but this project haunted me to no end. 

3. How did you like using ANGEL?

I think Angel worked out very well. I actually liked that others discussions wouldn't get displayed until I posted my own, this keeps others from copying your work. Being able to track my progress through the reporting screen really gave me something to work towards. 

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

What would you keep? The gallery visits and discussions.

What would you remove? A few of the videos were just boring and I found myself stopping a few of them and picking others.(I can't think of specifics) I may have commented on this in one of my video review blogs. 

What would you add? I know its a daunting task for the teacher but more interaction in the discussions would be beneficial. I didn't read through all of the posts but I remember you commented on my initial discussion thread and don't remember seeing anything on many others.

5. Would you recommend this course to your peers?

I would recommend this course, even though it was a ton of work, you are a very fair teacher and most of the content was interesting. 

6. Please list any other comments you would like to share.
I just had two things that I didn't care for. The length of this class during the summer is very long and I know it was my own fault for not reading the course outline. There was also a time for a few weeks that I didn't see any of my work being graded, I was moving along and wasn't too sure if the work  I was turning in was up to snuff or not. I  figured that it was Summer and like all of us you were enjoying it too (our Spring was so horrible).Other than those two things It was a pleasure to take this class and I'm going to make it a point from now on to go to a few exhibits every year.

One last thing, it would be helpful if a list of local Art Galleries could be included in the Syllabus. I would be interested in places other than the Albright-Knox.
