“The A is not an expectation to live up to, but a possibility to live in to.” I’ve been through so much this year. I’ve grown as a person and through that I’ve grown as an artist. High School hasn’t been the best for me but art got me through it. It’s finally over. In the beginning of the year I finally made a blog. I’m still not used to it but to be able to be in art school it’s something I have to do. 2 years ago I was supposed to be in AP, but I don’t think I was ready. I’ve pulled myself together this year and created some of my favorite pieces. Out of all my other years of art I think that this past year my artwork represents who I am. At first I had trouble figuring out my concentration but once I had it I learned how to work with new mediums and improved my painting skills in my other art class. I started off the year strong with my risk taking when I threw the black paint of my self portrait. Usually I don’t like working with other but I learned how to take benefit from other people critiquing my work. There was definitely plenty of problems along the way but I think they helped me out a lot. They make me think of ways around them and in many cases made my art better. The thing that I’m most proud of myself for doing is the blog. I’ve never been good with technology but I sucked it up and did it. I had to because in this day and age you have to have your art online to get anywhere in life. After seeing what I have accomplished this year I hope I continue to grow as an artist. And that’s why I deserve an A for the year.
