How does coming to this visual arts class help you as a student?
For me, although art itself is a crucial part of being a student, the habits of mind that have helped me immensely include concentration/focus, as well as expression and creativity. When I concentrate on a piece of art, I have grown to be able to focus solely on the task at hand, with no regard for distractions. I feel I use this during tests or while doing homework. The creative expression that I have cultivated has allowed for me to put my unique touch on essays and other projects.
What are you excited about?
Over the summer, it was fun for me to mess around with the applications of drawing beyond creative expression, which of course is still an important part of art. I am excited to improve as an artist but also take my drawing skills in directions that I did not know about before.
What do I need to know about you to support you this year?
That I have trouble negatively critiquing the work of others, but am often really constructively-critical on myself - I keep my own work to a high standard. It would be great if you could help me realize how to fix the things that just 'seem wrong' or that 'I don't like'. Often I realize I don't like my art but cannot specifically pinpoint how to improve.
