Foundations of Art 2022-2023

I think my art shows a lot about me as a learner- the ways I am completely incompetent and unable to finish anything, and my perfectionism. The lack of improvement in my art is evident, and it shows how I have been in a complete standstill this year and am overall not getting better. The times in which I have submitted work late has increased significantly over the course of the year, as I gradually grow to hate everything I work on. My art has become sloppier and less informed as I stop thinking and grow tired, and let my emotions cloud my ability to create anything. I think this is most obvious in my scratchboard project, in which I was unable to even complete one scratchboard, even though this is apparently a favorite project of other students. My use of shadow and light is barely there, and I was unable to even complete one drawing of a frog, let alone the background. There is nothing that I am proud of this year. Everything I have created has glaring flaws and a messy execution, and it has been obvious that my future in art is virtually non-existent and not worth me being interested in. Even when I try to put in effort I fail. Maybe this is too negative but I don’t have time to give this a positive spin.
