NSDictionary *artDict = @{ @"Artist" : @"Dali", @"Title" : @"The Ship", @"Medium" : @"Oil Paint", };
NSString *favoriteArtist = @"Artist";
favoriteArtist : ([[artDict
valueForKey:@"Artist"]intValue]);
//What am I doing wrong?)//
NSDictionary *artDict = @{
@"Artist" : @"Dali",
@"Title" : @"The Ship",
@"Medium" : @"Oil Paint",
};
NSString *favoriteArtist = @"Artist";
favoriteArtist : ([[artDict
valueForKey:@"Artist"]intValue]);

For favoriteArtist, you should use the valueForKey: method on artDict.
NSString * favoriteArtist = [artDict valueForKey: @"Artist"];
I hope this helps!
