Through my progress as an artist I continue to learn more and more about myself. Continuous line drawings taught me to let go and relax with my artwork while mural drawings taught me to be creative and unique. This semester has been full of trying new techniques and materials. I got to experience a new way of art by using watercolor. watercolor was very free and never perfect but it taught me that art develops on its own and does not need to be perfect. We combined geometric and organic ideas to combine contrasting ideas into one. We then looked at the figure. The figure offered challenges to the way we look at things. Figure practice was the most challenging. Each technique used provided a new way to experience and develop artwork. Each technique provided different ways of working your brain. I overall loved this semester. Though I am a rookie to art, I enjoyed and prospered from these new experiences. I highly recommend this class to anyone who is looking to find out more about themselves. I hope to continue drawing in the future and develop my artwork even more.

For my figure project I focused on working with the whole body of the human figure. Instead of using just one person for my artwork I used two figure intermixed to create a challenge. The photo I specifically used was a photo of me and my boyfriend at prom. I also incorporated watercolor in the background to switch up my materials. Although my main focus seems to be the center of my paper, the water color takes your eye away from the graphite to other sections of the artwork.

The student that reviewed my artwork had recommended that I would add more dandelion "fuzzes." After adding more fuzzes I was able to draw the eye farther across the page so my artwork is not focused in one central area. My partner also complimented my use of bright colors. For this project I specifically enjoyed my bold bright colors. Water color was super fun to use in creating a soft transition in each shape and building the water color to a thick acrylic texture for outline of the shapes.

For this project, I chose to specifically incorporate angel wings as my shoe lace. What keeps me grounded the most is my religion. Every wednesday I am involved in a youth group every wednesday that helps me relax and stay grounded! I used in my drawing graphite on the legs to show shadows. I also used colored pencil and graphite stippled in the shoe. The background I decided to do a fade of blues to keep the viewers eyes moving in the direction of the wings. The wings I then added two different types of greens to add dimension and depth.
