Reflecting at the end of the year.

Look through your blog. Go all the way back to the beginning of the year. Look especially closely at your finished work. Think about how the year has gone for you. Now, write a detailed paragraph that describes how the course has gone for you. What have you found to be your artistic strengths? What have been your challenges? What do you think you’ll leave the class thinking about? How can you see it influencing your life in the future?


Over this past year art principals is something i have accelerated in. I think that everything we have done this year has been fun for me. There have been things that I have not been interested in but think overall that i've liked each project in a different way. I have finished pieces of art that i have loved, and some i have just gotten frustrated with. Looking at the pieces of art i have completed i think i have accelerated with the things i have been more interested in for example water colors and using different designs. Some of my favorite pieces of art have been my face with makeup and my sculpture peacock. I noticed with the crane picture that using a paintbrush was a strength of mine. The more challenging being drawing still life. I know now that in the future i want to be a photographer and design sets of Photo shoots. With making patterns and designs i think of what i could do as a scenery behind the picture. This year has made me realize what are my strengths and weaknesses.

SKETCHBOOK ARCHEOLOGY

Spend some time looking through your sketchbook. Look at the cover and try to remember making it way back in September. Turn each page slowly and as you look at them try to remember what you were thinking about when you made those marks. Pay close attention to things that show up more than once…materials, characters, shapes, patterns. In a blog post describe briefly how you’ve felt about your sketchbook this year and what role it’s played in your artistic development. Then…make a list of the things, materials, themes that show up more than once. Labels: reflection


Looking at my sketchbook i noticed that my work varied. It has varied with the different types of art i have done in it and the materials i have used. I think that the my work is scattered and i can tell i put a lot of time and effort into the beginning and strong at the end as well. I wouldn't say that the work is bad in the middle but i think i just dont like it as much as i could. I like how the materials and different types of art change all the time. There are a lot of mixtures of the different strategies in one spread which i like. I've noticed that i am interested in drawing a lot of designs and patterns with color and 3D material. There wasn't too much repetition of the materials i used but there was a lot of colorful collages and glitter in my notebook. There's a lot of shapes and objects i am interested in in my sketchbook as well.
