The last 9 weeks have been the greatest artistic challenge I have pursued. I have become so much more excited about art and the entire class I have been excited to put in the work and effort behind these projects. I think that I have truly grown as an artist from start to finish. The first piece I struggled with, but into Metamorphosis I definitely improved my watercolor skills and made a smooth transition into new mediums such as acrylic and ink. Finally, the final social commentary project allowed me to conintue the blue color scheme that I genuinely adore and have used this whole class. The continuity of blue throughout this class highlights my growth stylistically from project to project. The encaustic was exciting to work with and it's a great future outlook for my future in art. My first piece is something I can barely look at now but the watercolor experience was a lot of fun. The concept of the self portrait was very challenging for me and I think that there are many ways I could have improved; developing the face and body, cropping the piece down to be asymmetrical, etc. However I think this shows the breadth of my work in this class. This first project is a benchmark and really shows my improvement and development artistically, in the watercolor concentration and beyond. In metamorphosis, I was excited and immediately married to the idea of a teacup into a squid. I think the transition from watercolor to mixed media- watercolor and acrylic- was a cool opportunity to see my growth. This is my final project from Portfolio. This social commentary piece is inspired by environmental influences, and also incorporated the previous technique of metamorphosis as I transitioned the turtles to the air bubbles the respire to trash in the ocean. Working with the new medium is very exciting, and I definitely am very excited and happy that I tried encaustics. This is a great platform to build off of into my own individual future in art.
