This course provided great tools for examining and understanding the artists covered. I'm able to take these tools and the lexicon I learned and apply them to other artists and their practices.

I have thoroughly enjoyed doing this course. It has proved useful in boosting my confidence in studying, as well as providing me with inspiration for my own work, both in painting and ceramics.

Excessively technical. It seems a course of learning to paint. It doesn't bring me much.

Hace unos días que terminé todos los apartados y no sé donde comunicarme porque todavía no tengo el certificado, en ocasiones se precisa el certificado con rapidez y aquí estoy perdiendo tiempo tratando de ver como finalizarlo. Al final he tenido que hacer otro curso que sí me han dado el certificado al terminar... el tener que depender de que otra persona valore el trabajo hace que se pierda un tiempo que en muchos casos es escaso, y eso podría ser una tarea opcional no un requisito indispensable para obtener el certificado.

Information got too repetitive again. Course was too difficult to understand, and that I got bored immediately. This is another worst art course I have taken as well. Could have done better with the information and the videos. I give this course a 1 star out of 5.
