Final Essay Reflection

i think that throughout the year we have touched on so many different things we gotta try a lot of different ways to make art. i think that if you looked back at my work in the beginning of the year you can definitely see that there are many flaws and that it doesn't look very natural to make the art, but as we got through the year i felt that i did get better at art and that i am definitely doing a lot better i don't have as many flaws and i am more proud of the pieces that i create. i think that i have been able to draw inspiration easier now from bell-ringers, nature, or just when i'm out of my house i feel like i have definitely learned a lot and that i have grown as an artist.

i think my work shows that i have improved when you look at the work that i have said that i enjoyed. almost all of the work that i have enjoyed i have been able to like and improve from a lot more than like the 80 colors painting there was a direct list that we had to follow even though we gotta make our own design it wasn't necessarily free range or self driven. i think that i have improved artistically and mentally in the ability to create and produce art that i enjoy and are proud of.

i think the most challenging project was the self portrait and the 80 colors project. i don't like making self portraits and i don't think anyone else does either. when i am making them and i finish i t never actually looks like me, i know that i am good or at least a little good at at art but i feel like i lose all art ability when i make self portraits. i think that why i thought the 80 colors project was hard was just because when making the colors you would make the wrong color or you would make the same color twice and it was just irritating to do 80 times over.

i can definitely say that my best project favorite and well created is my charcoal drawing of my dog. i didn't know how to create art with charcoal before and as i was doing it i discovered that it is really messy and very flexible. i found it easy to manipulate and create the correct tones for my drawing to create my dog and i love it very much and i don't think i will be able to do something that good again but i dont know because i haven't tried.

this year in art has left a very good impression on me and i enjoyed it alot an definitly would do it again if i could. some planes that i have is to do some art over the summer just to keep my artistic ability and to stay happy because creating my own art by myself is definitly a happiness place for me. i have already created a calander giving myself something to do and keep creating because i like art and i want to keep making art because like i said it makes me happy and proud of what i can acomplish and it does the same for my family and friends and the other people that are around me.
