Looking forward

I am thinking about making a giant collage with various things representing my my year in art principles. It would have a lot of pictures that represent a bigger picture. Another option would be making something out of symbols or that sort. I don't really know how I would go about making it, but I know it would probably use a lot of pictures.

End of year reflection

This course has been one that has been very interesting because it was fun and challenging at times. My challenges have been realistic drawing and just drawing in general. I'll leave the class thinking about how I can improve my drawing abilities. I don't really see art influencing my life in my future. I probably won't use it much. I might use it when I am deciding how to arrange things in my house or such. One of my abilities would be collaging.

After looking closely through my Sketchbook, there are many reoccurring themes and similar ideas. At first, the sketchbook was very challenging and I struggled to come up with ideas. I was not very skilled at drawing so it was hard to decide on something to draw that was both simple and good at the same time. As time went on, I found a particular interest in collages with various pictures relating to basketball. I found that basketball was something I could draw to. Overall, I think the sketchbook was a difficult process and to be honest, I did not enjoy it. It was very repetitive and boring. However, it was very good practice for touching up my drawing skills.
