I feel that my work demonstrates a lot of my strengths and weakness from project to project. I think one weakness I have that is shown in all my work is my declining motivation to do anything asked of me as a senior. I tried to work around this through this last semester, but some work I made just lacks quality thanks to lacking motivation. Some strengths I have however, is just my ability to do whatever. I really like my clay form sculptures, and all of them were really just me jumping into it with no prep. I feel like my work has shown a little bit of improvement as you go from the clay tile to the clay form, but I do not feel like it is that major. This class was over one semester, so i feel i did not have the time to really make a major improvment.
The most challenging project this year had to have been the hand sculpture becasue I kept failing to make a mold. I would not mix the stuff that makes the mold well enough, and then it would fall apart. It was not until my third attempt I was able to make it work. I also did not know what to do for the actual hand, and ended up just doing the first thing that came to mind. I am most proud of my Clay form project because i really took my time with it, and was able to make something I like. It was almost fun to play with clay
My goals for the summer are to at least draw some, but one project I have up coming for senior projects is a stop motion film that I am very excited about. It is going to be a lot of work, but i'll be using some things i learned from this class to complete it. I hope it goes well and I will get a chance to really experminet with my art.
