Term 1 Reflection

In the beginning of Art principles I was very skeptical. Through out all of my projects my goal had been the same, do the best I can. Before this term I was a very bad artist and I did not think of art as any of my first choices of classes but last year in the spring I decided to give it a try for the hell of it. In my first projects I thought a lot of thoughts and they where all generating around the idea of why am I here? As the year went on the thoughts where gradually going away and my stress level around art was going way down. Trying to think about the various elements of this class and incorporating them was very difficult. Even though we spent some review time on these elements I still could not incorporate them into my work. Although my work could not go into a museum it has improved tremendously! I am so proud of my self in the sense that hard work is all I put into this and I got the results I pretty much wanted. I have learned so many things. Their are way to many lessons to write down but the most important lesson in my opinion is to be patient and work hard. Taking these lessons and using them has been very helpful in my growth as an artist. My all around skill as an artist has improved from anything like cutting to drawing with charcoal. One of the biggest successes of my artistic skills was drawing a chair with a coat on the arm of it. This is surprising because I use lessons in art and use them in real life.

Chair With Coat.

Im just going to start out this blog by saying I am ASTATIC about my drawing! This drawing was considerbly easier for me to re-create on a the paper. The reason for this was it was a lot less busy in the sense that their was one main object that I had to focus on. I dont know how I did it but I think that was my best drawing ever! I used charcoal and that was it. It was a much different excperience than pencil and I enjoyed it a lot more. The skills I used was more spacing and proportion. I think that some of my drawing skills are coming into play. after all these years of art class I finally made a good drawing!
