Year Reflection - 6/14/186/14/2018 This year has been amazing in regards to my art transformation! I had very little inspiration at the beginning of the year, but now I am overflowing with ideas from all of the projects and experiments we did in class in regards to different mediums. I have learned how to paint with oil (which I had no experience with prior), how to make a living sculpture, how to use mediums, and, most importantly, how to properly set up my paintings. All the new materials that I have worked with has been very enlightening, and I can't wait to pursue new projects with my expanded knowledge. I loved learning about the effects of color because it was like science in art which was crazy exciting as I felt like there was a semi-formula involved in creating a beautiful piece! I have begun valuing my color choices which used to be one of my biggest problems in the past because I liked to use all the colors which usually made my works seem chaotic. I have seen the greatest growth in this area as I have actually started looking for color schemes I like and restricting myself to certain colors. I stopped relying on availability of color and started looking for colors that genuinely looked nice on top of each other. I still need to improve on my colors, of course, as I am not quite a master yet, but I am excited to see what is to come. Above all, I think I need to improve on not being lazy when creating art pieces. I often look for what is easy for me when making work, and I do not shoot for the stars in regards to pieces which is definitely something I need to improve upon if I want to create genuinely nice work. I hope to create more oil paintings (to improve upon my skills, maybe even pursue some direct oil painting?), use more mediums (making a CHONKY piece), and work on my sewing skills. Next year, I want to create a piece that's interactive which may involve me using my sculpting skills that I learned this year and/or my big painting skills. I also want to pursue more sculptures, and my attempt at a living sculpture has been very enlightening in regards to how I am very bad at sewing and know absolutely nothing about plants! I might even want to make a bigger version of my hand as I feel like the small version was very difficult to work with and the shape was not what I exactly wanted.
