Has your definition of art clanged since from the beginning of this class?
My definition of art has changed drastically from the beginning of this semester. At first I thought that art had to always be so perfect with no error. What this class has really taught me is that art can be anything and art is almost never perfect. For example the first day the assignment was to draw a piece of candy and I tried so hard to get every single little detail but to be honest its not possible. Even with the small errors I still really enjoy this piece.
Which project was your most successful? Describe the theme and or topic and the process you went through to complete the project.
My most successful project has to me my limitations project. A group of me and my friends bought a hamster that was gonna run through paint and then on a piece of paper to create our art. We figured that paint could be toxic so we decided on a non toxic ink. We took the hamster and put his paws on the ink and he ran around the paper leaving his footprints. We changed colors every once in a while and it turned out really well.

Medium: which medium did you most enjoy working with and why? Which medium did you not use but wish you had explored? Include photo.
My favorite medium to use was the charcoal. I liked the charcoal because you did not have to be so perfect with every motion since you were gonna just rub/spread it anyway. I had two charcoal drawings but the one of the spoon is my favorite. The medium I never used were markers which can sound lame but I wish I had explored them a little more.

Choose a place or artwork where the subject matter reflects you as an artist. One that you have a personal connection to. Please explain.
The artwork that reflects me the most is the art journaling. It is a crazy piece of art that truthfully can hardly be described as art. It however reflects me because I myself am crazy and abstract but that is what makes me great. Just like my art jounaling.

What did you find most difficult about this class? This could be anything from gathering materials, to generating projects ideas, to applying a particular technique. What could be done to resolve this issue in the future?
The hardest part of this class was figuring out project ideas and keeping up blog posts. I loved doing the projects but coming up with ideas was sometimes a challenge. Also I would forget to post my blogs for each project. Something that could help in the future is to give more examples and to also enforce due dates more on blog posts. This styrogami was hard to figure what exactly what to do.
