Looking at my SMART goal, I can say I achieved most of it. I remember that when I made that goal I wanted to become Picasso overnight. That would have been nice, but completely and utterly impossible. However, I have grown in my art. I've tried new things as much as I wanted to stab myself while I was doing it. That pear I used as a pretest was horrible. The shading wasn't even close and it just wasn't blended well. Even without being finished, my oil painting of my father and stepmother is already leaps and bounds ahead of that pear, with it's shading and color coordination.
I have grown most in engaging and persisting. The ability to put aside pieces was very nice, but sometimes it was hard to come back like "wow, this is horrible. No thanks.". I had to learn for myself how to come back to thing and continue through my mistakes. I've grown the least probably in expression because I already did that anyway. It comes naturally.
What surprised me most about this class was the ability to choose what I wanted to create. That was the best part. I'm terrible at setting my own deadlines, but I did enjoy setting my own projects. I think I liked that best and worst. I need deadlines, but not at the same time. I mean, it was always nice to put something down and relax and come back to it later, you always saw something you didn't before, but that would be much harder with deadlines.
I think I have learned to let go a bit more, not to a strong extent at all, but slightly. I've learned that I could be way worse and that I did my best work when I relaxed into it a bit. Ten years from now I hope to remember that I will always be at my strongest when I let go, like an avalanche. I hope I can learn more observance. I am still horrible at this. I would never be a very good detective.

Our society is filled with what people think are 'taboos'. Mental health is unfortunately one of them. People don't like to talk about it and people don't want others to talk about it, so it just remains in the shadows and mental health victims never speak up to receive the care they need. I was diagnosed with depression and social anxiety awhile ago and I can still feel other people's judgments. I also have friends with these diseases as well. However, I made this piece not just for society, but also for mental health victims. At first glance, the piece might look dark and hopeless, but once you read into the tattoos on her body, in different languages to incorporate more than just America but the whole world. You find that she isn't just what the people accuse her to be. She isn't just the illness. I made this because I want to make this topic one everyone can speak about openly, like a broken bone.

I am thoroughly proud of this. I had never worked with oil paints before and I adore them. In this way I developed my craft, further expanding my work with paints. Also, this piece took a large amount of expression. Each tattoo on her arm is a word that describes her personality, despite the accusing figures around her. It expresses that she is more than what the figures around her think about her. She is more than her labels.

It is finally finished! However, in my haste to finish I made some major mistakes. For example, the pegasus's hooves are not covered by the tall grass. Speaking of the devil, the grass. I'm still not satisfied with it and next time I will have to have more patience with my artwork, but I am enormously proud of the pegasus.

I made this art work based upon a story I made as a young child. It was a large part of my childhood. Instead of listening to teachers in class or to my mother when I was being scolded, I instead decided to fantasize about Luna and her best friend Moonshadow(the pegasus). Luna is a demigod and since I made her as a child, she is highly based on me, well, everything I wanted to be. I wanted to convey a feeling of loneliness, because the best friends are separated. The pegasus is looking for his best friend, the demigod named Luna, hence the night setting. Because of this I decided to name the piece Looking for the Lost One .
