Reflection

Some of my biggest successes this term was finishing a project. I am incredibly satisfied with all of my projects I have produced. I don't know if it was the group or the environment or what, but I was really able to focus and produce work that I am proud of. I didn't have many challenges this term (besides folding the cranes) as I enjoyed everything. I tried to challenge myself with the layer project which turned into the text project. I had been itching to try mixed media (even though I don't think I have the eye for it) but am very pleased with the result of the text project (it frightens my mother although she'll never admit it). Doing the layering-turned-text project changed my view of how I do my work. I loved working with the text and also on a different medium. Most of my pieces produced were in pencil with color highlights. Although I like those pieces very much, this one was radically different and I ended up enjoying it immensely. After doing that piece (and this class as a whole) I have a different outlook on art and art class. I hope to have such an intense class next year, and I enjoyed it very much!
