Term Reflection

I would say that this term has been my best term for art that I have ever had. In middle school I never really got into art or put much thought into it. This year I have thought of art as another academic class and I really enjoyed it. This year I learned about value, shading, proportion, and many other basic skills with several different types of materials. I think that after this term I have more confidence in my art, and I am more open to trying new styles of art. I think that all of the different blending I have done with cray-paws has been my greatest success because I think that it 's really fun and the color blending looks great. Even though I really like and prefer to use cray-paws I feel that from the projects we have done this year I am better at using paint and colored pencils. My biggest challenge this term was to come up with good ideas for my clean it up project. It was hard for me think of good ideas that were witty and a play off of existing products, but after several classes spent brain storming I came up with some decent ideas. I need to work on paying closer attention to details and proportion so my art looks more realistic. I think that I should also try to slow down and not rush threw my work. I think that if I do more art classes in the future I should try new things and remember the skills that I learned from this class.

Hero Project

To be a hero is someone who puts others before themselves, and does things for the greater good. While looking through articles online there were several articles that were on people who have done great things during war and other dangerous acts, but there were also articles about everyday people going out of their way to do something small things. A hero can be interprited on many different levels, from helping a cat stuck in a tree to saving the lives of many people.
