My experience throughout this phenomenal year in art was extraordinary. I met so many new people and made new friends that helped me develop skills I didn't know I had. I've really enjoyed all the art I was able to create because of my friends endeavors to help me become the artist I am today. Although I suffered scrutiny with all my technicalities, I still enjoyed every bit of it. Our table may not have been the most productive, but we sure had a blast cracking jokes and laughs. Art's not always about the deadline, it's about the experience as well. If it weren't for my peers and a wonderful teacher, yeah I still would have got my work done, but there wouldn't be that spark that so many people find in my art. I'm glad I chose to sit with my friends and do what I do best.
"It's been...educational." -Marty McFly, Back to the Future. My art has definitely changed over the years and I know that was because I had observed my peers and learned from their style, how I could develop one of my own. My brilliant teacher, Ms. Rossi, has been my light down this dimly-lit hallway the past two years. She proved me guidance when there was otherwise no hope. The past two years are the years I have grown the most, and without her I think I would still struggle to create appealing artwork. I'm definitely going yo miss her, not only is she one of my favorite art teachers, but one who takes time of her own to be sure you know what your doing and feel confident in yourself to continue your work. Not many teachers do this and that's what makes her top of the department. Throughout the first semester of this year I kept pondering of new ideas for concentrations, but I don't think I was grasping the concept of them yet. Concentrations are supposed to be more "in-depth," and by that I mean including a theme that the viewer will understand when he/she looks at the art. It wasn't until Christmas time that I finally developed a concentration doable for an artist of my technical needs. After Ms. Rossi taught our class about what concentrations should demonstrate, I formed an idea. My concentration was the development of "destruction" in everyday life, but in ways that revolved around time and change. I included some manmade elements as well as natural, this illustrated the influence around our society today. This theme was a bit more in-depth than most of my other classmates, and I think I wanted that. My whole point was to get the viewer to realize what we go through in life and to not be depressed, but become stronger and stay confident. In a way I think my concentration reflects on me in ways that I believe show that I have a strong willpower. Staying strong and standing keeping it together is all part of the journey to get where you want to go in life. Giving up is easy but won't bear your fruit in the end. Hopefully this idea is somewhat present, and my viewers understand the deeper meaning of my work. My breadth was a collection I enjoyed creating. There were many aspects I learned over the summer that helped me throughout my thought process in creating my breadths. I really tried to explore new mediums to create art with better style. Throughout the year I repeated using some of those mediums and got better on managing those skills. Aside the fact of mastering my marksmanship, working on my breadths also helped me compare my work to my classmates. There's not much else to explain about this, but they were really fun to create and make better. Overall this course is by far my favorite out of all the classes I've taken in high school. Thanks to all who helped me become who I am.
