This year in art has been very interesting and I am glad that I decided to continue to take this class this year. Throughout the year I have learned so many things revolving around art that I had never realized I needed to know in order to improve my overall technique. I have been able to form a deeper connection with my art work, as well as form a better approach to creating my art such as attempting to take more risk instead of staying confined to drawing just cartoons and portraits, through my interest in just drawing quick gesture drawings as well as experimenting in watercolor and the many images you can create by simply allowing the pigment to do as it pleases from time to create an interesting image.
I believe has significantly improved has been my proportions and how I compose my art work. In the beginning of the year it was clear that I only truly used a center and linear view in my sketchbook, and when drawing figures I almost completely distorted the face and figure into a flat, cartoony person. With more and more practice with Shelia and gesture drawings I was able to use all of my paper while also positioning the figure in an interesting way that engages the eyes more than before. Given that I greatly enjoy drawing people and with this I while be able to greatly improve the quality of many of my works through using these skills.
However, while my paintings have definitely improved as well as creating abstract art these are things I feel I need more improvement. There is always room for growth, and I do still need significant growth in all aspects, abstract and paintings are a problem area. I enjoy creating these and hope to see that after researching and more experimentation that I will be able to create the art that I want to create without having to go back and forth and building upon my art work and still feel that it is not complete.
As I move into art 4, I really hope that I will be able to uses my newly developed skills and the skills that I am slowly learning to create my artwork were I am able to convey a variety of feelings and messages.
