What about art motivates you to understand/accept/question who you are, the world we live in and the responsibility we have to better this world?
- Art allows me to look at the world and be able to pick apart different emotions/feelings various experiences have. This helps me to look at the good and bad and display my thoughts and interpretations of my life in a creative and abstract way.
Please describe you artistic skill set - What are you most proud of? What is challenging to you? What do you fear in this artistic process?
- I feel like I am becoming better at painting photographs that I have taken and am better able to recognize various color tones than at the beginning of the year. I am proud that I am learning how to add more depth to my paintings and use a mix of abstract and realistic techniques. For me the most challenging part of art is being able to create the right colors and make my paintings look realistic. Sometimes I get worried that my artwork will not look enough like the photograph though I would like it to.
Brainstorm artistic goals and how you might meet these goals.
- I just recently have decided I really enjoy painting. To become better at this I hope to spend more time doing art both in and out of school. I am hoping that more practice and time will help me develop better technical skills.
