2D Design

Reflection:

This semester has been a little hard for me. Keeping up on assignments and making sure I get them in on time. Some of these assignments have been a lot harder than others but I have tried my best. One of my favorite assignments that I did was the Donate Life project. For some reason this year and last year I had some pretty decent ideas and have actually followed through with them. I thought maybe taking 2D would help me develop a certain style for my art but I still haven't found a style. This class has taught me to have more patience with my art, since whenever something doesn't look right to me I get mad and throw it away because I think I can't fix it.

These projects you have to really think about. Which for some people thinking about art is hard because they tend to overthink about it and lose all their ideas. That's what I struggled with most this year, I couldn't think of anything to do for the project until right before it was due or after it was. Now that I think about it I wish I thought to do a concentration type thing so every project I did during 2D kind of went together.

During the end of this class I started to give up on my projects. I thought art just isn't for me, I couldn't think of anything to do and i'm always struggling with projects. But then I thought about it, everyone has their own style of art, some may look more realistic and some may look more like doodles but they still create amazing pieces. I think my best piece was the Organ and Tissue Donation still. I definitely should have made it darker with a fine point pen but I didn't. I would love to do more projects like that, realistic looking and thinking about how different things could fit into each other.

This class has showed me that everyone has their own type of style and some others may have not found their style yet. I hope I can soon find my style that I love because I think it will make my art thinking a lot better. I love art and have thought many time about not doing it anymore because it can make me pretty angry at times but I know that I could never drop art. Once I put my mind to something I do it. This has been a great class and I hope to do 3D soon.
