Reflecting on My Goals

I achieved these goals through all of my work. My self-portrait taught me to accept the small errors even in realism.  One thing that I am especially proud of from that assignment is my improvement from my original draft to my final product. I learned to use shading to create depth and line to influence reality and movement.  Similarly, this recent watercolor unit has changed my perspective on art, allowing me to embrace abstraction and imperfection and utilize it to form a balanced piece with detail and curiosity without depicting an image.  Finally, this class has allowed me to take feedback and use it immediately in my work to understand alternate insightful perspectives.  An artist is a person who uses a medium to capture emotions or memories to expressthemels into a physical creation. I believe I am an artist because i enjoy every optuinty to produce work that captures moments and feelings in my life.
