End of Term Reflection

This class was the first art class I have taken since middle school. At first I was nervous to be a senior in a sophomore art class. I knew that I wouldn't be as experienced as the rest and I felt like I was going to be behind. The first class I was so self conscience and hesitated to let loose. I over thought everything and worried about my work being judged. But as time passed I became more and more comfortable with my art work. I feel like I picked up on a lot of what we learned pretty quickly, whether it was drawing people, making shadows or learning about the color wheel. One thing that I learned about myself is that I have perfectionist paralysis. It was hard for me to start on projects because I wanted to make sure it was perfect. But in time I learned not everything is going to be perfect. This bad case that I had slowed down my progress. I spent a lot of time on one project at a time hoping it would come out a masterpiece but I faced the consequences the last few days of class trying to get through all of the assignments. Ultimately, I really enjoyed this class. Art is something I would definitely like to continue. I thought the class was a lot of fun and painting and drawing can be very therapeutic and relaxing!
