1.The first thing I learned is that it is important to understand how proportion, scale and composition play a role is the piece's importance. The second thing I took away was that you need to put yourself in an artwork to better understand why it creates the mood it does. The last fact I learned was that visuals are used dramatically in both politics itself, and to vocalize political ideas.

2. The role of an Art Educator is to discover and discuss the impacts and meaning behind visual culture. This is further explored through the establishment of context, content and form. Art Educators are meant to study how culture is established through visuals and then contextualize this. They answer the question, why are visuals important?

3. I will remember the importance of looking deep into why and for what reason an image is created. How do visuals affect culture and how does culture affect art; both are important to explore. Emotions, politics, current events, opinions, and what is wanted are always going to be part of art, and affected by art. It is all cyclical.
