However, I do remember it being fairly simple and easy to do. 2.) I would except to learn more about art and how to talk about it. 3.) I was nervous about taking an online course because it's new to me and I get confused easily when trying to navigate certain things without an instructor. But so far it's easier than I thought and doesn't seem so bad. 4.) I definitely related to the guy talking about having a job and learning to prioritize, the guy taking about financial issues and making a schedule to fit his work schedule, and hearing John Legend talk about failing in order to get where he was.

I think it was brilliant because Banksy work was never meant to be sold. It's a great example of what Banksy stands for, and we know this about him solely because of his street art and messages, not because we know w...

I geared towards high school students because I think they will have had enough experience with basic computer softwares to understand illustrator. Did you encounter any challenges when creating this presentation? Please describe them and how you overcame them. I'm not even keen on adobe software so explaining how to do stuff with it was tough. I used a lot of tutorials to help me. What did you enjoy the most about this project and why? The least? and why? Using prezi. Least joyful was struggling with understanding illustrator.
