Quarter 4 yearly reflection
An overview of each of your projects from this year. Each overview must include:
a synopsis of the project (why you chose the project, what you created and the process you followed to create the project) AND an image of the project.
Color wheel
For the color wheel, actually did not pick this project. My teacher assigned this and this is why I did this project. The project was a color wheel was the project and I turned it into a spider’s web.
Afro centered pictured
For this project I created a self inspirational painting This means that I reflected on my life now and how I wanted it to be. The process that I went through to make ths was first by creating a background. After that I created the tree and the girl..
Baby crochet shoe
For this project I created a baby crochet shoe. I chose to do this project because one of my friends just had a baby and I wanted to make a pr fp shoes for her baby. To do this I broke the project into different pieces by dong the base of the shoes and then doing the top of it.
Crochet phone case
For this project, I Created a phone case out of yarn (crocheting). My reasoning behind doing this is because I wanted a case for my phone that I didn't feel like paying for. To do this project firstly created my 3D flower that I wanted to put on the case. I then created the actual case itself and a handle for it.
A reflection on your growth as an artist this year
As an artist this year, I think that I can say that I´ve truly grown. It may have not been a tremendous amount of growth, but any growth in learning is always a good thing. With crochet I have expanded my exercises with crocheting and brought back my ability to be able to do some complex stitches such as the seashell stitch. This has all helped me grown as a creator using yarn because I am continuously practicing and making new things with her yarn. As far as painting, I have also grown with this because it allows me to be more of a visual learner AND creator!
A reflection on these questions:
“What have you learned about making Art?”
Through making art, I have learned that even if you're not great at one thing, you're great at some other type of art. To me art has taught me as to how amazing art really is. Say this because when I used to hear art would automatically think drawing or painting, but art is way more. Art can be music, painting, poetry, drawing, or whatever YOU want your art to be. At the end of art I have also found out that there is room for improvement and you shouldn't be scared to improve your art.
“What have you learned about yourself through the projects you have created?”
Through the projects that have created, I have learned that shouldn't doubt myself. Often times I would shut down when it came to art but these projects have allowed me to see for myself that I am actually more creative than think.
Which project you are most proud of and why
This should include an image of the project
I am most proud of my painting project because drawing and painting s the hardest thing for me to. I was very nervous when started this and the fact that it came out beautifully and looked as if knew what I was doing, shocked myself.
Your biggest weakness or area in need of growth has been this year?
My biggest weakness would be my ability to draw or paint. Am not a person who draws or who paints and so for me to a whole project on it was the hardest part for me. However, this did not shut me down, it only pushed me to practice to get better and better.
What kind of Art you want to make next.
The kind of art that I would love to make next is mostly music or to practice my drawing. Music s a passion for me, but paintings all speak 1000 words to my life in silence. With these 2 art pieces, I am able to be myself.
What kind of Art inspires you the most and why (MUST include a copyright free/Creative Commons licensed image and a citation for that image)
There isn't one specific picture or exact piece, so I can't add a picture but a lot of mixed media art inspires me because feel that there s a lot in one mixed media art that any person can interpret different and connect to themselves.
