Foundations of Art 2020

In foundations of art this year I really tried my hardest to do the work regardless of if it was perfect or not. I'm really a perfectionist when it comes to my work, and when I don't think it looks the way I need it to I will give up on it completely. Failing Foundations of art last year really opened my eyes and made me realize it didn't have to be perfect and art is art.

As a learner my art illustrates how over the course I got better, my art looked more put together, and throughout. You can kind of see how I used different tools and techniques and which ones I was better with and which ones I struggled with.I really tried to stay on top of art this year being how I used to always put it off and do something else to get out of it. I love art but I didn't like being put onto a task I thought needed to be perfect. After a while of giving up I understood that that is all part of art and I just needed to find an element to make it look how I want it.

My art shows that I improved not by how it looks but rather by how much time, thought, and effort I put into it. The most challenging project this year was the color design one. I restarted that over 5 times and eventually gave up, hence why it's unfinished here. I really didn't like how I would mix colors and they wouldn't come out the exact color I wanted them to be. Looking back at it I would finish it regardless of color perfection or not. I'm most proud of my scratchboard project, I put a lot of effort and time into it, I actually got paid for it. It was for my friend's parents. I really want to get into art more and find what I really love to do. I know I love clay and to paint but I want to see whats beyond that.
