AED 200 Reflection

This course was not what I expected it to be when I first signed up.  I was surprised to learn there was more to art then I originally thought.  Art uses different elements to capture a moment or express emotion.  Artists use line, shape, color, value, texture, movement, etc. in their works to convey meaning.  I don't think I named a favorite artist in the beginning of this course, but I really enjoy the work of Charles Burchfield.  There are definitely some positive and negative aspects of taking an online course.  For example being able to do the work on my own schedule was great, but sometimes the amount of work that needed to be done was a bit overwhelming.

Art Curator Exhibition Project

For this project I chose to use landscapes.  The reason I chose that topic was because I could use a variety of landscapes to make up the exhibit.  The variety of types of landscapes in the images I chose is what helped me come up with the name.  Changing Landscapes puts together all different kinds of landscapes and makes them work together.  I enjoyed creating this slideshow because I got to look at a bunch of different works of art and find a way to make them work together.
