In Art 4 I've made seven pieces and I'm currently working on my last piece, which is mixed media. Going into Art 4 I didn't know how to do a lot of things I should have known how to do like draw a face, and proportions, and use prismas, and use oil paints. However I didn't let that stop me I got really frustrated from time to time because I was use to working with just acrylic and Art 4 made me really branch out. I think I had a good semester in Art 4 some of the pieces aren't my favorite but that's ok, I noticed that the pieces that aren't my favorite are themes that I wasn't a fan of. I think when you have to make a project about a certain thing it's hard if you're not interested in it because you obviously aren't gonna spend as much time on it as a piece you're really into. For me I wasn't a fan of the reflection drawing, everyday object, and nature turns mechanical. I think part of it was what I chose for the project it wasn't something I actually enjoyed I just wanted to finish the project. I think that's one of the problems I run into in art classes, is that if I don't like the subject I just don't show my full potential and it's a flaw but I can't help it. I think if I were to redo those subjects now I would pick different things to draw/paint and I think I would have liked the subjects more. I think I grew a lot from all of my other art classes to now, I was also taking drawing this semester and I wish I had taken in sooner because it would have really helped in the beginning with Art 4, but overall I think I've grown a lot. When I walked into Art 4 I absolutely hated prismas, I didn't want to use them or do anything with them. However once I figured out how to use them I loved them I ended up making two really nice pieces with prismas in drawing, and I would definitely do more projects with them. The first project I did with oil paints I didn't like at all, I was so use to using acrylic paint that I was treating oil like acrylic and you can't do that, but after I did my self portrait in oil I really liked it. For the interior spaces project I had a really hard time drawing the shape of the bowl, if you look at the in progress pictures you can see how off it is, but I ended up getting the right shape and it changed the project completely. Once the shape was right it brought the piece together, when doing that project I had to color block and I had never done that before so it was really interesting and different. The pet portrait was the first pet portrait I've done I like everything about besides the background and when I leave Art 4 I plan on cutting it out, I really like the way the fur turned out in that piece though. It was the first time I drew fur and I really liked it. My self portrait was really interesting, I had never drawn a portrait let alone paint a portrait, when doing this piece I got extremely frustrated because half the time I didn't know what I was doing, this piece took me an extremely long time to finish and I think it turned out pretty good for a first portrait. My landscape piece was my absolute favorite piece I did it was acrylic which is my comfort zone and I wanted this piece to be perfect because it's a great memory for me. I also branched out by doing a different border and I love the way it turned out. Second to last piece was nature turns mechanical, I hated this subject and never want to redo it. I don't like this subject and I don't like the way my piece turned out and I didn't want to do this project in the first place which is probably another reason why I don't like it. The last piece were working on is mixed media, as of right now I don't have a plan for it but I love mixed media so I think it will end up looking pretty cool. Overall I really enjoyed Art 4 and if I were to take it again I would change some things but I think I really grew a lot from when I first started taking the class. And I think it was a great class to take and anyone interested in Art should take this class.
