Semester 1 2008 Reflection

1. I believe my greatest success in art was the bag. I think it turned out the best and I'm not embarassed to give to my mom. I like all my projects becuase they have a certian fruity rainbow quility to them, that looks like some kid threw up skittles on my artwork.

2. I would like to improve on free sketching. I would like to be able to draw the images in my head, easily.

3. It may not have been my best peice of art but my favorite project was the self portrait. It was clean and simple, and we learned about different mediums. It also taught me to scale drawings to make them easier to draw.

4. My least favorite project was the totem pole. I liked the drawing of it and researching the symbols of the totem pole but i did not like the actual totem pole. I've grown up with alot of indain influence in my life so i know alot about totem poles and the importance of animals. I just thought that actually making it was a waste of time and instaltion. Now its winter and poeple are freezing.

5. I really would like to learn about hand blown glass. I think that would be awesome. Or maybe sculpture, with clay, not newspaper stuff. I still like the basics, like drawing and paint. I would like to create something I'm proud of and won't throw away when I walk out the door.
