My Reflection

I thought this year was really fun! I really enjoyed Advanced Art because I was able to do the things I wanted to work on. I got to do a lot of pencil drawing which is one of my favorite things to do but I also got to expand my horizons on other things. These things being chalk pastels, water paint, ink drawings, etc. I learned to expand my horizons on other things in art, meaning there is more things to art then just painting or drawing. Art is a big spectrum of ideas. My favorite project was probably my magazine piece which took a lot of time but it was totally worth it. My worst project would probably have to be my last project. I feel like I didn't have enough time to do a big project so it didn't have a lot of detail to it which I didn't like. In my ink drawing I got to used many techniques with the pens from looking at value and texture. I don't think I will be doing any future plans after high school for art. I think these art classes will give me a hobby I can do on my free time. Art to me is just for fun and I would like to keep it that way. I think if I go to college for it I think my interest for it would run out.

Profile of an Artist

Anita Mihályi:

I thought this artist drawing were really awesome!! They are so realistic! She is very detailed in every drawing she does and that is something I would really like to get better at. She is very good at blending and the values of the piece. It is really cool to see what these artist can do and can be taken as role models.

Heart

This piece is a painting of a heart and the word LOVE spelled out within the heart! I thought this piece was really fun to make. It was cool using light colors and it was simple but came out pretty nice. I really enjoyed going back to paint because I hadn't done a painting piece in a long time.

Flowers in Bloom

This is a chalk pastels drawing of flowers. I really liked this project a lot and I thought it turned out really well. I really thought it was fun blending the colors together and finding color schemes that go together 

Tyger Woods

This ink drawing is a drawing of Tyger Woods. I did this drawing because I wanted to make it for my brother and I thought it would be cool to use ink pen techniques to make it. I thought the outcome turned out really well and I thought it was really good :)
