When I initially started this class I realized that there was so much more to art than I realized. I had originally been only using pencil to create some form of line art, but then the introduction of color blew me away. It caused me to realize that I have a strong love of colored pencils and watercolor. It also helped me realize that my main weakness was the very thing I was first relying on, pencil. A lot of the projects we had to do this year have pushed me out of my comfort zone like the Shadow and Self Portrait pieces. The Shadow Play work made me create something other than people and draw hands while the Self Portrait forced me to draw myself and color unrealistically. I've always had problems with coloring something other than how it really is, and all the different medium I used for the first time in Shadow Play blew me away. During the Botanical Gardens trip I realized that my drawing is absolutely horrible when under pressure. Just the hovering of the time constraint and multiple pieces made me freakout. Later on I got used to it, and it caused me far less panic, but initially it was horrible and I hated it. The Observation and arrangement piece was my favorite by far. It helped me realize that I am not absolutely hopeless in realistic drawing, and my anime style isn't half bad either. I thoroughly enjoyed drawing the monkey teeth and the realistic eye, as well as the gold highlight I seem to be attracted to, hence my logo. Another one of my favorite projects was the Growth project. It showed me the wonderful world o watercolors, and caused me to buy some recently so my anime people will have a little more pizzazz. I was not proud of the piece itself, but enjoyed the general process of creating it. I am a person who loves to learn, and I learned so much from this experience like: how to use water color, I need to work on profiles and have patience, and not everything is going to turn out well, but thats the beauty of art. I want my art to increase in life and experience color in the future.
