I am most proud of my Final Still Life Drawing. I think that is my most well balanced drawing and I used a abnormal drawing technique that I usually wouldn’t use. I thought my lines and value were very good in that drawing. You can tell that it is 3D and all the lines on the blocks are symmetrical so it looks like a solid object. I also think the shadow in that drawing is very good. It gradually goes from dark to light and you can tell where the light is it. I think the 2 most informative projects we did were the Tile and the Final still life. I think my art improved the most between those two projects. I think about art more as a project now and something to continuously work on rather than just something to relax to like a doodle. I look at art now thinking about how the artist created it rather than “oh it just looks cool”.
Art makes me feel relaxed when I am doing it which makes it really good to wind down after a stressful day. It also is a way to express your feelings whether that is how you feel about something or just your mood.
I hope I improve my neatness and just overall art skills. I would consider myself a pretty creative person but it is sometimes hard for me to fully express what I was trying to make.
I hope we work with clay this year just because it is really fun to hand make something especially just because it is something 3D. I also hope we do some drawing this year. I like painting but it is hard for me but maybe if we do some of it this year I will get better at it.
