This piece expresses me as an artist because it reflects me and my life. It was my favorite piece to work on because of the personal connections. Also, the medium that was used, charcoal, is my favorite to work with because you can't mess up when using it. This has a personal link to me because on the leg it has a tattoo in Latin saying, "sisters forever" which is what my sister and I are planning to get. My definition of art has changed since the beginning of art class because at first I thought art was just painting and drawing. As the semester went on I learned that anything can be art and you can make anything with art. I never knew that I would learn how to weave in art because I didn't know that was considered to be art form, but when I weaved and put all the colors together, I saw the art come before my eyes. I found this project to be the hardest one I had to do in art class. I say this because it was really difficult to come up with an idea, but I also needed to solve a problem. I chose a beach theme, but I still didn't know what the problem would be. So I asked Mrs. Sudkamp and she gave me the idea to tape a paint brush to a meter stick and paint my piece from a meter away. If I am ever stuck on a project idea in the future, I could just ask my peers to help me generate ideas. I think that this is my most successful piece because the idea is really interesting. This was my two in one project so I had a spray bottle and the spray is the galaxy. To make the galaxy look like that, I started with blue and then kept mixing in black, and did the same with the purple. Then after I painted it I tried to mix it but still wanted the colors to look as if they were getting darker as the galaxy goes on. If I could redo any one on my pieces it would be this one because I don't like the idea of corks. I would chose something else to charcoal and take more time on my piece. I would still use charcoal but make sure that I had darker blacks and whiter whites.
