2D Art and Design 

Semester 1 Reflection

Overall I think that I had a pretty successful semester, I had good design ideas and I worked to make each project interesting to look at. I think that I have been most successful with my use of color, I wasn't afraid to bring intense color into my work and I made sure that the colors I chose were bold and bright. I also was fairly successful with using up the white space on the paper(minus the projects that I didn't finish). I definitely struggled the most with my time management as well as my motivation. I felt as though I put off all my projects until the last minute which caused me to rush and not finish with it at times. I struggled with creating things that I felt connected with, and I think that is partially because I didn't spend enough time and effort on my art. My main goal for future art classes and for creating art in general is to take more time and put more energy/feeling into my art. I love to make art but I feel that since I'm usually rushing and stressed to get it done, I don't love to make it as much. Another goal I have is to make way more art out of school. Whether it be little doodles in a sketchbook or a watercolor painting. I believe that making art is very good for your mind and forcing myself to do it every day, I think, will make me more creative.
