Throughout the year, drawing and painting has taught me new skills and techniques for creating art which overall widened my experience and love for art. This year, most of my pieces have been influenced by my memories and personality. I like to make artwork that is meaningful to me in some way, whether it be inspired by someone or something that I love or if it represents my mood and how I was feeling when creating my artwork. As an artist, I have grown so much throughout the year. I've learned how to use different media, add shadows/highlights, and overall make your piece look realistic with different techniques. My goals for moving forward as an artist is to keep trying new techniques and going out of my comfort zone. I also hope to do some art over the summer to keep expanding my knowledge on art.
I loved all of the media that we used this year because most were techniques that I had never used before, so it was fun trying new things. Overall, my favorite media that we used this year was the tempera resist. I loved this media because it was something that I had never tried before. It was a really fun technique to play around with and see what amazing textures and layers you could create with the tempera resist. This year, it was challenging for me to come up with ideas of what I wanted to create. It was also sometimes challenging to create art with a technique I had never used because I wasn't fully comfortable with how to use the media. I hope that my viewers enjoy my work and feel happy or interested in what I have created.
