Overarching Artist Statement: The artwork that I have done throughout this class has been for the most part improvement and experimentation. I created my art through various methods and techniques. I've used watercolor paint, colored pencils, and I even created several clay structure/sculptures. The big idea behind my pieces was to improve and explore different elements of art in which I had been taught. My goal was to achieve a higher level of mastery over different forms of mediums. Overall I believe that I have achieved my goal as I have been successful in several pieces of art. Art to me is a means of truly being capable of expressing that which cannot be expressed in words. To be able to articulate your deepest emotions and convey everything that you want or need to in one piece. A piece that speaks a ten thousand words and expresses the true intentions and feeling of the artist. Reflection 1: I would say that my most successful project would be my fractured landscape drawing. I used a color pencil medium to fill in a fragmented mountain range that I had sketched. This project in particular stands out to me as the outcome appeals to me. The fragmentation makes some semblance of order despite this being the first occasion that I have done a piece like that. Reflection 2: Now that I've reviewed my most successful project I will go over one of my pieces that is less desirable. One project that I would do over, if I could, is my honeycomb pot. During the initial etching of my design, I cut too deep which caused my piece to crack and break when it was fired.The result wasn't as detrimental as anticipated however as I was able to reseal the broken piece with glaze. To improve my artwork I should have cut shallower lines in my design. That way the ceramic would have maintained its form without breaking. Final Reflection: One of the objects that pushed me to overcome a few obstacles was my water color mountain range painting. One of the obstacles that cost me the most time was the blending of paints. I was attempting to go for a more abstract approach with my piece, but unfortunately I came across a few issues with running paint. To remedy this I used a thirsty brush technique to absorb the unwanted paint colors and to add in the appropriate paint. Overall I was able to salvage the project even though it didn't come out the way I expected it would.
