Foundations of Art

Summary

My work shows my strengths and weaknesses as a learner by showing a clear path of advancement, then becoming far less interesting. This means that I’m fairly good with drawing/painting, but terrible with sculpting. This is further supported by the fact that I decided to make a painting for my final (independent) project.

My work shows improvement by illustrating a rise in skill when it comes to 2D works of art. I went from my “World’s Weirdest Roundabout” (nice, but fairly simple) to my “Shoe City” to my “Abstract Sunset.” These show an obvious improvement.

My most challenging project was the wire sculpture. This project required more physical strength than intelligence, so I wasn’t good at it (I do not have strong fingers). Also, I don’t see the point of a “creative” project that doesn’t require much creativity.

The project that I’m most proud of is my mixed media. This wasn’t my favorite project to make, but I really enjoyed the end product. I’m just so proud of my drawing of my cat, Flora.

I have no future artistic goals. This class was not my favorite, due to the fact that I found some deadlines very confusing (I tend to not rely on when Google Classroom says something is due, as I know that teachers sometimes make you do things after the assignment is due, meaning that you aren’t always supposed to do things when Google Classroom says to do things).
