Reflecting At Mid-Term

Through this term of art principles, I think I have made a huge improvement of not only my artistic ability, but also of my performance, process, and participation in the class. As an artist, the first thing I do now is to not pick up my pencil and draw, but rather to think of something that would make my sketch look amazing. When working on different projects I notice that I have become more creative and have a wider range of ideas and thoughts going through my head. I ask myself, "Can I make this drawing have more colors", or "What is it I have to do to this painting, to get someone's attention easier?". Meanwhile during class, when getting assigned a project I am able to follow the directions through the whole entire assignment. For example, when doing the project of creating lines into a story, I was able to make different lines into metaphors and then use them to make a story. As for my process in art, I am learning everyday about the tools more, and the basic concepts of the class. Lastly, I am participating more with my classmates and asking them questions based on what we are doing in class that day. I am not afraid to speak up and either ask a question or answer to my peers or teacher and have a better friendship with them! So far, I think I am doing well in Art Principles, but there are certain "places" where I can be better in and I am willing to take that challenge!
