Regarding last semester, I have grown a fair amount as an artist due to the new art medias I've learned about, art medias I've improved on, and the raise in my confidence. I've learned how to print make and have improved on my acrylic paintings, oil pastel, and chalk drawing skills. Through my most recent presentation about Gerhard Richter I've reached a new stepping stone in VAM, with the courage it took me to step up in front of all those people I've definitely raised my confidence. Although the presentation itself wasn't part of the first semester I learned a great deal on how to create a successful presentation through the time I spent gather information. Every project this last semester has been a stepping stone for me but out of everything that presentation project was definitely the most influential and inspiring projects for me.
Another project that I found quite important was the print making project, it put to light possibilities for new art styles I could explore in the future for my scenery art. As like the collage and assemblage projects, it was nice to explore and try something I wasn't experienced in, all three created new perspectives for me and has further expanded my imagination for future projects. From these projects, I've learned to draw other things than just scenery and go outside my comfort zone so I may hone my other art skills. As for my smart goal today, February 22, I can't really say I was successful or unsuccessful, yes I've improved my schedule to a much better point but I have yet to fully achieve what I want to, In other words I've made significant progress. I believe the reason why I've had such a problem with improving my schedule is because I've grown up as a procrastinator, someone who doesn't normally do work until absolutely needed because I'm so easily distracted. With a lifestyle like this that I've been used to for such an extended period of time it's hard to put down, it's no different then an addiction because when you think about it, it actually kind of is one. Dealing with this has been a problem for quite some time and I really hope to rid myself of this problem in the upcoming months, through this semester I have found new ways to deal with it. Usually, staying after school or coming to school early helps to do work helps because at home I feel too comfortable and there are too many distractions around my work spaces. With all of the scenery art I've done last semester I want to start focusing more on human anatomy this semester, it's something I've wanted to improve on for awhile now but never really got to it. With my recent acquiring of adobe cloud I now have access to digital drawing applications outside of school which is all the more motivation to get started. Lastly, I wanted to improve on this since I'm already pretty decent at scenery artwork and adding a figure to focus on in those artworks can potentially improve them drastically. My goal for improvements by the end of this semester is that I am fully able to create a decent looking figure without any help or guidance from tracing or reference, thumbnail drawings only.
