My portfolio will reflect on all the artifacts that I have completed over the summer term with the purpose of better understanding the importance of art and its correlation with human values. The purpose of each lesson in this course was to better understand how art impacted a function of society, and I will try to reflect my understanding of each function as best as I can.
