2D design

Semester 1 Reflection:

I have really enjoyed art class this year. I feel that I have grown a lot as an artist. I have been successful with learning how to use a variety of materials. Although, most of all, I enjoyed using the Prismacolor colored pencils. My two favorite projects that I made this year were with colored pencils. My favorites are my duck stamp, and my sustained investigation #1. I really surprised myself with both of these pieces. In the suck stamp, I am very proud of the way both ducks came out. I feel like I learned to use the colored pencils very well.  In my sustained investigation #1, I feel successful with the use of color, and line, to make a very interesting composition. 

I have learned how to cope when something does not turn out the way I wanted or planned. This is either by improvising and making changes. If making changes is not in the picture, because of a due date, I have learned to accept it if things don't turn out exactly the way I wanted. I have also struggled with meeting deadlines this year. This art class has been more fast pace than others I have taken in the past. It has taught me to use my time management skills. I have managed to get almost everything done on time, but it has definitely been a struggle for me. 

One goal that I have moving forward is to do more art on my own. This class has shown me what I am capable of, and in order to keep growing as an artist, I need to continue to make art and practice my skills and creativity. I will strive to take what I have learned in this class and apply it to future art classes, and life in general.
