Drawing and Painting spring 2026

Goals for the semester:

The things that inspire me to create art are mainly the world around me and the emotions I feel. I love nature, so I enjoy drawing landscapes, but if I have a strong emotion I feel compelled to create something to help express that at times. This semester, I would like to improve on my technical skills in drawing and painting, like shading accurately and learning techniques for realism, because I think I could be better with those, and could learn a lot. A challenge I think could come up in trying to achieve these goals might be not fully understanding the material, but if that comes up, I can schedule a flex time meeting with Ms. Sylvester and resolve whatever issue I'm facing with a quick conversation. I enjoy getting feedback on my art and in any other class, as I think feedback is the only way to know what you're doing wrong, and get back on track to fix it. To me, constructive criticism is very helpful.
