My experience in art classes have been all over the place. I took the second semester of art 1 my freshman year, then I took the first semester of art 1 my sophomore year. Then the second semester of my junior year, I took computer art, which was by far my favorite until this year. This year, I took Art 2 the whole year, and now my second semester and coming to a close.
I’ve learned a lot this semester. First of all, I realized even more that art is really abstract and it all just depends on your own perspective and how things make YOU feel. At the beginning of this semester, I learned about painting with water colors. Some of my favorite techniques that I learned include: the Salt technique, the sponge technique, and the splatter technique.
While doing my very last art project, I learned about mixing art media to create one cool piece. I decided to make my favorite rap artist, Fetty Wap. I made a stencil of his silhouette, glued song lyrics of his on it, then glued it onto black paper that was glued onto white paper. On top, I used a stencil to make his good eye, and tattoos. In order to paint without it smearing(which I learned the hard way) I had to use a brush and dab paint into the area, instead of wipe the paint like a usual painting task.
I’ve improved a lot in art because I’ve learned a tremendous amount this semester. I've improved on painting with watercolors. As well as just simply letting loose and creating cool art.
Overall, the last project was my favorite, and I feel that it was my best by far. Using different art forms like collages, paint, and stencils, was super fun to me. I'm going to miss Art 2!
