Final Reflection:  

Of which in-class project or projects are you most proud? Why? Please explain and be specific to the work, your thought process, etc.  Did you surprise yourself in this class?  When you make something you’re proud of, how might that affect the way you look at other challenges?

I'm most proud of my Value Self Portrait. I'm most proud of this because I felt that of all the projects we had during the semester, I felt the most engaged in this one and I felt satisfied with the effort I put in. I did surprise myself because on some assignments the final product would look better than I anticipated it would and that will help me be more optimistic going into other challenges if I look back at the successes I had during previous challenges. 

Identify the 2+ most informative project(s) or thing(s) we did or saw during the semester that impacted your thoughts or knowledge about visual art.  How have these things changed the way you think about art? This could include your own art-making, how you appreciate art, and/or how you might look differently at art in the world around you. 

One would be the Still life drawing because the ways we made the shapes wether it was cross hatching or the scribbles or whatever seems really simple but it makes a complex end product and it really changes my point of view on art from thinking it is so hard to make something that looks good to realizing it can be simple and be great as well. A second one would be the One point perspective because I didn't realize that you could make art like that. I was never great at making shapes look 3-D and this really helped me with the challenges I've faced with I am drawing something. I also found it fascinating the way you could make one part of the picture be the main perspective and view point almost against the will of the viewer. Whenever I looked at mine my eyes darted to the middle point and the effect that simple lines have on a drawing is really cool.
