How has your thinking about art changed during the semester? Was there a particular unit that you learned a lot in? The way I think about art has definitely changed throughout my semester in this class. When I art I think more deeper into it instead of just not giving it a thought. I use a lot more symbolism because it makes you think more and get more interested in the artwork. I learned a lot in the unit about art of steal. I learned you can take something and make it your own. Just like how I took a concept and I drew it as my own. We were told to draw "quiet", so this is how i interpreted it: What do you notice about how your art making skills, including how you interpret themes, have changed when you compare your drawing from the beginning of the course to your more recent one? I've noticed that I pay attention to more detail and put more meaning into my artwork. When I compare my drawing from the beginning of the course to the end of the course. What unit or project was your favorite? Why did you like it? The project that was my favorite was definitely the one about identity. I liked it because there was so many ways you could interpret it. You could do what I did, which was ask people to write down what society thinks about them, meaning what you may have heard people say about you, what your friends think about you, etc. I had a lot of inspiring and touching answers, just like what Dalen Revis wrote: What did you like about this class? What could have made it better for you, in terms of learning?
I loved all of the projects we had and how we were free to interpret the projects we were given however we wanted to. I think the way this class is set up and the learning process is perfect. I wouldn't change a thing.

For the project on Identity, me and Jada decided to take pieces of paper and pens down to second lunch and asked people if they could write down on that paper what society thinks of them. Some people were a little confused but once we explained that basically you write down what people say about you either to your face or behind your back. We were able to get about 20 people to participate. We came up with the idea by looking at past projects that other artists have done and made it our own. There was a lot of variety with the responses we got. Some were very saddening... while others were great!! Either way, this project really put life into perspective. What you say about people really sticks with them. Instead of reciting the negatives about people, why not say the positives? It'll make there day and hopefully stick with them the rest of there life. Kind of like how what Dalen Revis wrote in the image above. I think it'll stick with me forever.
