End of Term 1 Reflection

The first term of Art Principles was pretty good. It wasn't perfect for me, I was bored at times and that affected my engagement and performance. I've learned many new things this term, like techniques for drawing, what the principles of design are, and how to make a good collage. I don't think I like or dislike art anymore than I did at the beginning of the term, however I do think I have much more knowledge about art and different types of art then I did before. What has surprised me this term is that I'm not bad at all aspects of art. I think my final collage project going great, and my found objects sculpture was good too. My biggest success so far is becoming more engaged over the last couple of weeks. My biggest challenges have been finding ways to stay interested in what I'm doing so I pay attention and do well. If I do that the outcome of my work will probably be better. If I were to give myself advice it would be to do what I said earlier from the beginning, to try to find something interesting about what I'm doing. To continue to grow as an artist I need to find a part of art I like the best and continue doing that.
