The project I feel I grew the most on was the charcoal sea shell project. I grew in multiple ways. I grew by learning to not make everything absolutely perfect and clean. With charcoal nothing will ever be clean! When I was using charcoal I had to learn how to use every color of black from black black to white. I had never used charcoal before so I learned a lot about the techniques and different styles. My seashell I drew actually turned out way better then I thought it would when I stopped worrying about making it perfect and considered on how I worked and the techniques I was using.
For me be most difficult part of the class was trying to think of what I wanted to do. I always wanted my projects to be the best they could so I would worry about every detail of the peace. I hated picking a medium because I loved using most of them. That's why for a lot of my projects I did mixed mediums! Although it was hard picking what to do I still enjoyed having the artistic freedom of a highschool art class!
If I was going to redo any project it would be the two in one project. I would keep my same idea but I would choose a different medium. Instead of doing a water color background then my pineapple jellyfish in acrylic I would do the whole thing in water color. I would also try to take more time on my jelly fish pineapple. I think doing it in water color would make the whole peace blend more and look a little more natural.
I enjoyed working with both painting acrylic and water color. I really enjoyed mixing paint colors with acrylic but I loved the diversity of water color and all the different things you can do with them. I never got to work with prisma color but I think I would really enjoy it. From other people's at I saw prisma color is very fun to work with and has nice dimensions to explore.
I wouldn't say my definition of art has changed but it has grown. I appreciate different parts of art more then I did. I learned a lot of new techniques to art. I also learned art isn't perfect most great things a re mistakes. I also learned about different artist and there take on art.
