I think that in terms of my technique and overall practice in art this semester, I have improved a lot and I absolutely love that. Due to this, I am happy with where I ended in this class. I will be moving onto another elective next semester so my practice of art will not be as abundant but I do hope to keep sketching. My art itself has been praised highly by people in in life. It has been suggested to me to put my work up in coffee shops or stores and see if I can acquire a profit from them. Ultimately, I do not think that art will be a large part of my future career but I definitely would like to keep practicing and advancing my abilities through this class at BHS.

What artistic struggles did you learn from?

What artistic struggles did you learn from?

# data[].attributes.body
One of the main artistic struggles that I learned from was to use my mistakes in a positive way. I have always been very observant and precise to what I apply to my work. Whether it is from the technique or amount of shading I apply. In the last watercolor project that I did I took all of the accidental globs of paint or too much water into positive consideration and used those mistakes to form the end result. This struggle of perfection has affected me a load in my development process but I think that I overcame the whole perfection idea and ended up just having fun with art and making mistakes positive.

What is the most significant way you have grown as an artist?

What is the most significant way you have grown as an artist? 

# data[].attributes.body
I think that greatest way that I grew as an artist this semester was in my mental state. It sounds odd but I think art can be a mental game with an artist. I am highly judgmental and a harsh critic to my work. I feel the need to pick at every single detail and action that goes into my work. In regard to this semester, I think that I really grew away from that in a positive way. For example, as I continued to work with colored pencil I began to trust that I have the "talent" to work with it and not worry that it will look "bad" per say. So all in all, I think that I was able to grow away from my negative mental state and just have fun with the art that I was producing.

In what specific ways does your art show growth?  

# data[].attributes.body
I think that my art this semester shows growth in my technique regarding colored pencil. Most of my projects this semester were done using colored pencil. My knowledge of colored pencil was not very high going into this semester so getting to explore more of the possiblities in textures and shading. I think that in each of my ptojects I approached different techniques from layering colors, creating a thick, smooth texture, using contrast and lightness, and only using line and adressing pressure of the pencil itself.

I chose watercolor as my medium for this project because I like the possibilities in shadows/highlights you can create with it and I haven't worked with it for a while now so I wanted to try something new. At first, I thought this was going to go nowhere but I ended up really enjoying the creations of neutral grayish purples that I was able to achieve with the blending of my limited palette. I am really happy with how I achieved his expression in this work. Working with the negative space was interesting as well and took a lot of control in determining where I wanted control and where I purposefully didn't want it.

My horse, Sunny, is my pride and joy so I wanted to work with our emotion at an event. In this project, my main focus was exploring line in its pressure and ways to form edges, curves, and shapes. I enjoyed working with different pressures of the same color to give an illusion of it forming a varied shade. In the categories of emotion, CC, continuous line, and repetition, I think that I captured them well and they all show greatly in this piece.

This is another project where I continued my experimentation of colored pencil. I used black paper this time to challenge myself in changing my perspective from what I know of white to dark. I also worked with texture a lot within the technique in the green subjects face and the two sets of brown hair. I wanted the black paper to aid in the vibrancy of colors so I used very bright and neon-like colors for the main subjects. Compositionally, I decided to use the shading and circles to represent change/melting and breath/flying, all areas that apply to my theme of personality/persona growth.

This project was one that I wanted to continue my exploration with colored pencil. I chose to work with brown/tan paper to experiment with the look that colored pencil can emit from the added contrast. The subject (girl and jellyfish) were layered with many different colors to achieve the smooth texture. I also used contrasting colors of orange and blue to emphasize the vibrancy of both of the subjects. The walls and tentacle posts are meant to be one of the next things that the eye focuses on with focus on repetition of colors. The ground is meant to show transparency with the melted in grays and browns

In the pre-stages of this project I studied various breeds of jellyfish. Focusing on the movement that comes from them and the similarities that they hold to an umbrella.

This was the first project that we worked on this semester. I really focused on the contrast of colors throughout the piece to show high vibrancy. To challenge myself, I tried to incorporate a blend of mixing/shading direct complementary colors or colors in high contrast to each other.
