1. I looked at Haley Mills "Families in Art", Anthony Cancemi's "Nature - The World's Art" and Monica White's "Soles with Soul".
2. I chose "Families in Art" because my family is something that is very special to me and the concept was the best.
3. I was not able to write more than 1 page. I wrote as much as I could without "fluffing it up". I felt like I was able to get right to the point with being as nice as possible while doing it.
4. I usually don't like critiqueing my peer's work, but for an online class it is much easier. This is because I don't have to see the peer face to face so I feel more comfortable saying how I really feel.
5. Yes.
6. 9. I was very honest and made a good connection to current events. However it was not long enough.
7. Yes, it was different yet enjoyable.

Reflections of AED 200
1. What were you expectations for this course and where they met?
This was what I wrote about my expectations for the course: "In this course I expect to expand my general knowledge of art. I expect to learn about colors and different artists." Yes, my expectations were met.
2. Now that you've been through this course, What is art? How would you define it now compared to your intial posting?
After taking this course I now know that art can be anything as long as someone is looking at it in the right sense. Previously, I said art was something like art is music, painting or poetry.
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?
Julian Beever was my favorite artist in the beginning and he still is. There is no difference because he is a very unique artist and there is a memory I have that is connected to him and his artwork.
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 posting? How is it the same or different?
I still remain confident in taking online courses. However, I will take into consideration the amount of work that has increased, probably because it is a 200 level course, not a 100 level course like I have previously taken.

Wk. 16 Video Reviews
The first video I watch was Greenberg on Art Criticism. I found this video to be a little tough to understand but I think I got the main idea. Greenberg believes that critiquing art is harder than critiquing literature and/or music. This is due to the "abstract-ness" of art now. He mentioned other critics like Ruskin as well as mentioning his own writing. This video directly relates to our upcoming project in which we are to critique our peers. Abstract art was mentioned many times in this video.
Next, I watched Greenberg on Pollock. I though the "death of easel painting" was very interesting. Jackson Pollock himself didn't want to be considered an "easel painter", he preferred murals. Many of the painters found in this "Pollock era" were mostly motivated by money and becoming famous rather than doing it for pure enjoyment. This video talked about a curator, like we're learning about.
Next, I watched Introduction to Italian Renaissance. The video talked about Giorgio Vasari's Lives of the Artists. It talked about a lot of artists that we have read about. These artists include DaVinci, Donatello, and Botticelli. It was written about the Italian Renaissance and Italian influence in art. This piece discussed art critics so we could see what they do firsthand.
Next, I watched The Critics. It talked about the subjective/criticism and objective/reporting of art. The theory, knowledge, application, comprehension, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation were all mentioned in this video. This video talks about art criticism as an art in itself as well as a social value. It gave me a deeper look into an actual art critic so I would know more when doing the project.
The next video is The Colonial Encounter. This video showed Dahome Art and discussed if it is considered art or craft. The world fair is also talked about and the fact that it showed it's nationalistic feelings. The world fair was criticized so I think that is how it is related.
The last video is Jackson Pollock. This video discusses two of Pollocks works: Lavender Mist and Autumn Rhythm from a historical prospective. The two men, Clark and Fried try to agree because Clark believes Pollock was more abstract while Friend thinks he focused on pictorial elements. I liked how the two were almost debating and it modeled criticism coming constructively from two people.
