Course Reflection 

1. As a graphic designer, I was looking forward to discover how artists use various methods and tools to communicate their ideas, since communication is a big part of graphic design during this course. My expectations were met. The videos within this course were informative and helpful, especially the ones in the last two modules.

2. I consider art to be the result of expressing oneself by creating meaningful work by combining technical skill and imagination. The result can take many forms such as: paintings, sculptures, music, and photography among others.

3. Andy Warhol was initially my favorite artist. As of right now, I would say my answer hasn't changed. I just love Andy Warhol's background in communication arts. His shoe illustrations for magazines and product display boards were the foundation of his career as a fine artist. I find that shift in his life fascinating. 

4. I enjoyed taking this course online. Online courses are my absolute favorite because they give me the option to complete assignments on my time. I also used to commute to school, I live an hour away, so they defiantly make my life easier.
