This year was my first year taking studio art and to say the least i had a great time! My favorite project this year would probably have to be imitating another artist's work. This project was one of our first projects and i chose Jean-Michel Basquiat. I was inspired by his work i thought it was so interesting and funky. I also thought i imitated his illustrations very well. I got a lot of compliments on my artwork which made me more confident. I got lots of compliments when we held the art show. One of the projects that i feel i learned most about was pottery. There are so many components to creating a work of art with pottery. Clay has many different stages and you have to score it to connect pieces. It was very beneficial to learn all about it because it was fun working with clay and i think everyone in class enjoyed it including me. From my first clay project to my last i definitely see improvement. In the beginning of the year we did a shading unit and a imitation drawing. It taught us how to use our pencil for shading and details. Later in the year we did a color pencil unit. In this unit i drew a twix candy bar. Using my previous skills from my earlier project i knew what i had to do to make my candy on paper look real. If i never took this class i would have no idea about how to highlight and see depth on paper. I used cool colors for my shadow and warm colors for my highlights. One of the projects we did that i think reflects me as an artist is printmaking. I really enjoyed this project because my print was the letter M for my name Meaghan and my other print was a mountain. I really love mountains and when i was a kid i would always go skiing or go to New Hampshire and i always loved mountains and the view. I really enjoyed this course. Everything we learned was fun and i have nothing to complain about. This art class or art in general has impacted my life because i would see it as an outlet. Whenever i was stressed at school i would always look forward to art class to just have a good time and use my hands and work on my projects. Even outside of school i found myself doing art. I love to watercolor so sometimes at home i pull it out and watercolor for fun.
