My most significant area of artistic growth would be within the creative aspect of the art pieces. Looking back at my artwork from last year compared to now, there is a difference in skill level with the materials and my ability to use tools to their full capability to enhance my art. In drawing/ painting one, I was just introduced to materials such as oil pastel, graphite pencils, etc., but this year I was able to get more familiar with them and improve on my skills, which has shown throughout my art. A struggle that I had was with the ink resist. I had never used it before so I wasn't exactly sure how it worked. I didn't put enough oil pastel on drawing so the ink absorbed into the pastel and darkened all the colors. I used another material to rub over the areas I wanted the ink to come off of and it worked. I learned that when using ink resistant, you should put a heavy amount of oil pastel on areas you don't want the ink to go through. I would like my art work to become more interesting in terms of overall composition, and I plan to work on this next semester.

For this drawing I used two different views; a closeup detailed drawing of a flower and its leaves, that I found online, and distant view of a wooden bridge. To incorporate the two different views into one composition, I imagined a person standing at the beginning of the path holding the flower as they walked along the path. To show depth and to accent the length of the path, I drew long grass strains along the elevated path that get smaller as they go farther from the flower. The bridge itself is surrounded by a small pond which adds to the botanical theme of the composition.
