Is it just a piece of yarn?

At first I never really look at ,myself as an artist. To be an artist, I thought you had to know how to simply draw, or paint. Stating that I had no drawing or painting skills whatsoever. So in my head I was no sort of an artist. However, I just need to research and open my eyes. Maturing and giving myself more perspectives on what art is, and the different types of art was the best thing for me. Now, I see things as kind of anything can be art. Reason being is because no matter what the piece is, every different person look at the piece will have a different interpretation of the theme the piece presents.



This project that I did, was not just an assignment. I don't just do it to get a grade. Now, I can say that this project however did not go into a personal meaning or depth. However, this project represented a few things of myself. This project represented what I like to do and what I grew up on. A lot of people portray me and this hard shell to crack person and they think of crocheting of relaxing and soothing. Now seeing me and crochet mixing is where the meaning comes in. This shows that although I may look like a hard shell to crack, doesn't mean I do those type of things. This project also shows my creativity and how I'm always ready to do something unique and new. This was my first time ever thinking of this or doing this. Everything wasn't perfect but I believe I did a really awesome job with this being my first time doing this exact piece.



At first I was really confused and I still am a little bit. I think what I can do for my next project to make it “better” is to look at other peoples and get ideas. Now, they will definitely just be ideas because I also want my pieces to be original. I think to make it better, I can also add more “personal meaning” into it. This will give me more to incorporate into the piece and more to look at. I know I'm not a perfect artist but practice surely makes perfect!
