The assignments that I am most proud of are my self-portrait and the still life drawing. Both of these projects had a significant impact on my learning because they taught me many techniques as lighting, perspective, and blending. Through the self-portrait, I gained a better understanding of how light interacts with facial features and how subtle shadows can bring depth and realism to an image. Similarly, the still life drawing challenged me to carefully observe objects, study their proportions, and apply shading techniques to make them appear three-dimensional. These assignments not only improved my technical skills but also deepened my appreciation for the importance of detail and observation in art. Looking ahead, I think I might what to take other classes that will also improve my visual art knowledge with other classes, like drawing and painting 2.
