Review of AED 200

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

I enjoyed the first art gallery visit the most, because I was actually the first time I've been in a big art gallery such as the Albright Knox. It was interesting to see all the different types of art throughout the gallery. I liked the assignment because although we had our guidelines to choose certain pieces, ultimately it was my choice on which pieces I wanted in the vast selection they had.

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

It would definitely have to be the video reviews. I don't mind reading, but most of the videos were dry and boring, and I would have a hard time staying awake for some of them, especially after a long day at work. I do enjoy watching videos for education, but the selection wasn't great in keeping me interested.

3. How did you like using ANGEL?

ANGEL was good, don't have too many complaints. The only thing is my Mac is supplied with Safari, and it definitely was a hassle to download new browsers in order to get my assignments in sometimes. But besides that, I thought it was very well put together.

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

What would you keep?

I would keep the projects, such as the self portraits, logo making, mask making, etc. It's assignments like that which gave me the opportunity to show my creativity.

What would you remove?

I wouldn't remove the entire selection of videos for review, but I would cut down the amount of them. It just keeps me more interested in the readings if I'm not getting bored by videos all night long.

What would you add?

I would add a requirement that made students check out the Breachfield Penney Gallery on campus if they live in the Buffalo area. I went there on without having to do an assignment and I really liked it there. It would be good to get students there if they never gone before.

5. Would you recommend this course to your peers?

I would recommend it to them if they have an interest in art or a drive to learn more. The course did have a lot of work and reading, so a person who doesn't have the drive won't do the work. But if they are willing to learn, I would definitely recommend it.

6. Please list any other comments you would like to share.

It was definitely hard keeping up with the work while I worked, but it was a rewarding class. Thank you.
