NSDictionary Challenge

I am having trouble with this challenge:

Create an NSString variable called 'favoriteArtist' and assign it the value found for the key 'Artist', in the 'artDict'.

This is my code:

NSDictionary * artDict = @{@"Artist":@"Dali", @"Title":@"The Ship", @"Medium":@"Oil Paint"};
NSString * favoriteArtist;
[artDict setValue:@(artDict) forKey: @"Artist"];

Hello Kirhim,

I encourage you to rewatch the video. You are supposed to set favoriteArtist to equal the value you have in the artDict. The key you are looking for is "Artist". Once you figure out what key you want then you are supposed to look for it using that valueForKey Symbol.

NSDictionary *artDict = @{

  @"Artist":@"Dali",
  @"Title":@"The Ship",
  @"Medium":@"Oil Paint"
};

NSString *favoriteArtist = [artDict valueForKey: @"Artist"];
