Spring 2015 Art Final

            My goal this year for both 2D and 3D Art was to be able to connect with the world and use real world topic to create art, to branch out if you will. I feel like I have accomplished this especially dealing with injustice as an art topic. Although injustice is such a broad topic, it was fun to be able to create art with it in mind. Accomplishing my goal means a lot to me. I feel as though I have accomplished something and thats important to me.  That sense of accomplishment with help me set new goals in the 2015- 2016 school year as a sophomore. I am also very inspired and influenced by the Indian culture and hindu art, although it didn't show in my projects this year, I hope to incorporate it into more pieces next year, because creating things and art pieces make me feel in control and lets me express feelings and interests.


          Honestly, my decision making progress is all over the place when creating, I often don't sketch my projects out before starting and just go with my instincts. I often make last minute changes to my projects and scrap them as a result. That's another goal for me next year; to develop a better thinking and planning process. As far as selecting materials and tools, i like to optimize and use the tools and materials that are put in front of me. Like, I did my metal-phor project in mesh instead of aluminum because it was cheaper and not a lot of students in my classroom were using it to cover their entire project.

 I don't feel like so many of my experiences relate to my artwork so much as my earlier pieces this year related to actual problems that humans have everyday, and giving them a voice. I think my art has evolved into more advanced projects, seeing how most of my art before this year was basically doodles on scrap paper. I believe that the hardest part about being an artist is taking all the ideas in your head and being able to accurately represent them on paper or in a sculpture. I feel like I was on a little bit of a downhill slope, I started out the semester pretty well, but slowly started putting less energy and theme in my art as a whole. That's another thing I really need to work on as an artist, persevering through projects and keeping that energy and though, and being able to put them into my art.
