You’ll hear from educators, curators, and other experts and go behind the scenes with interviews from world-class artists and designers to hear about their materials, processes, and sources of inspiration. Whether you're looking to broaden your cultural horizons or add a creative edge to your professional toolkit, join a diverse community of learners from around the world and start seeing the world through a new lens....

really enjoyable and informative! Fun final assignments. Option needed on grading: Rather than an all or nothing 2 points, there should be an option of 0/1/2 points for a partial grade of 1!

I aboslutely loved this course, it gave me the art inspiration that I needed to get back on track! Slight shame you have to then pay for the certificate at the end as it was described as free.

This course was enjoyable. Content was good. It was a pretty easy pace, and most of the content was for thought provocation and reflection rather than "busy work."

I enjoyed taking this course, it’s great to start learning more about art history and it’s not hard at all. A lot of videos to see though, but it’s worth it!

I really like this course. I just have one comment: The learners are so few that there're not anyone to grade my assignments to help me pass the class.

Nice easy going way of learning something interesting and new for non-art professionals. Easy and short lectures, good exercices if you have the time.

The course was an amazing experience that really changed my perspective on a lot of things but I would've preferred if it was a bit more interactive

Muy bueno en general, muy interesante y agradables los videos. Quizá un poco más de presencia humana, como las entrevistas, me hubiese gustado más.

I resisted the peer review at first but embraced the concept and now truly value applying what I learned and sharing my thoughts and expression.

FUN AND INTERESTING COURSE BUT I FOUND THE INSTRUCTIONS DIFFICULT AT TIMES TO UNDERSTAND AND THE ASSIGNMENTS BLOCKED BY COMPUTER DIFFICULTIES.

Course was fascinating but technology instructions could be clearer. Wasted a lot of time dealing with tech when I could have been learning.

This is a pretty good course. Lots of quality videos taken from museum materials. Feels somewhat bitty, but I did learn a number of things

Easy course with all the link and references. Would like to attempt something more in depth. Good course to update your knowledge on art.

Very good insight, my only recommendation would be to have it a bit less example-based, and some things that capture broader concepts

It was really fun and exciting for someone who had no background in the arts. It was also quite easy for me comprehend the ideas.

It was nice, but should be more informative, Even now I am struggling to interpret a Modern Artwork and Lifestyle of Artists.

Good idea to present a selecection of art and artists across 4 different themes instead of following a timeline approach.

I really enjoy peer review. I believe we learn from that but, I also think we need more instructor review.
