I have enjoyed this art class and will miss the activities that we did in class. I have a deeper appreciation about art now and i understand why it is important. Ever since i was a child i loved art. I loved drawing, painting, making clay pots and so on. When i signed up for this class I knew that it was going to be fun and something i will learn at the same time. At the beginning of the semester my drawing skills were not any good and throughout this semester it has improved. I learned about shading and the positive and negative space. I was taught something new and exciting every week. I liked how we did our own Matisse drawing and other drawings as well. My favorite project for me was creating my "Lady Bug" using tissue paper. I never had an art project using tissue paper before. I also like drawing our hand free style then later on drawing our hand again and adding in the details. To see the before and after of the hand was amazing! I surprised myself after that drawing. It really does boost your self esteem. I was proud of my art work so much that i showed it off to some of my family members!!
If i do decide to teach down the road, i would not mind teaching art to children. I want to see them achieve in their art skills and develop confidence like i did. I am going to take what i learned and teach young students different techniques to do art. My art experience in this class was positive and I found this class relaxing. Art to me is something you can not mess up on or nobody will judge you because that is what you are expressing on paper. It brought me excitement and I know that it will to students. I realized that art defines who we are. At first i was a little jealous that some girls were better than me but i know now that everyone is different and everyone is creative. I felt proud of some of my art work and will keep the ones i did well on. This art class encouraged me to look at things in a new light and i explored new things. Art is a valuable subject and i am coming out of this class with a whole new perspective about art. In the future i want to continue making art and trying to come up with some creative ideas to do just for fun. My art has progressed and hopefully one day i will be better at art. I will miss this class and the i learned from others around me. I like the idea of posting art on a blog for everyone to look at. That was an interesting idea! Great class and i would not mind taking another art class just for fun.
