Final Thoughts;
“Two of the most important concepts I learned this semester” -
The first most important concept I learned this year was learning how to properly paint on clay. When were did our unit on endangered species I learned a lot during the painting process. Along with learning how to paint I also had lots of fun painting. the most important thing I learned was the importance of using water while painting on clay. the water gives the paint a much cleaner look and it also makes it much easier to paint. in addition to painting on clay, I also learned a lot from our drawing unit. we spent a lot of time learning how to use different drawing techniques including hatching, the technique I used on my final drawing. This was very fun to learn and it helped me expand my drawing knowledge.
“Assignment that I am the most proud of” -
My best piece of work this year was definitely my still-life drawing. I spent lots of time working on this and my final result looks good. along with learning a lot during this assignment, I had a lot of fun drawing my final. My first draft was not very good but I used it to my advantage and was able to make the correct changes to my final. Also, the fact that we had lots of independent work time was very fun for me. because of these reasons and how my final product came out, the still-life drawing was definitely my favorite unit of the semester.
One reason I have for making art is, that it's cool to use to decorate and to look at. There is artwork all over my house and is a great way to decorate a room/house. it's a very good way to express feelings and thoughts. Along with my reasons for making art, I have a few goals in mind for the year as well. firstly, I hope to get much better at drawing/painting three-dimensional things. being able to draw 3D things can make any type of drawing so much more interesting. Also, I'd like to get better at photography, some things are just too complex to draw so being able to take a great picture of it is very helpful. adding on to that, being able to capture the moment in a really cool place is important because you can then look back on great memories that you have made. Those are my hopes and dreams for the year.
