My story as a artist was difficult at times but also fun in some ways. When I first walked into art class my story began. I knew that art wasn't my best subject coming in so I tried to come in with a positive attitude.I felt as every project we did I learned something different like for example the pour painting projects I nevered knew you could drop paint like that and it would become a cool design. Another example is when we was learning how to draw pictures with balance and symmetry. I remembered I drew my self portrait and naturally The picture was balance then on I knew I was learning a piece of art. I had many downs when I wouldn't know what to draw or struggle how to make the object. I pushed and pushed to make sure in my artwork it showed my best effort.Art will hopefully be in majority of my life. Art helped me be a creative thinker and art is everywhere. I feel as everyything that some creates is some form of art.

I loved my light drawing I felt as this was my best piece in art class. My idea was Atlas holding the world in his hands and the globe was giving off a strong light. I used the darker pencils to color farther away from the globe and lighter pencils to color in closer and used my finger to blend in all of the colors and erased some of the lighter pencils to have a lighter color.

The printmaking project was really difficult for me. I could apply the paint really well but i wasn't good at lining everything up so it could could come out good. I disliked my prints because you could still see the a lot of the background in my buildings. I would definitely pick a different idea and make sure everything would be lined up and easy to cut out.

I think light sometimes can determine what kind of the mood the picture is in. one time I was watching a movie and the main character was spotlighted with the most light because it showed he was most important. I was looking at a art piece and tehy wanted shot the shelf was the most important part in the art piece so everything was dark except the shelf. I feel like light is shown what the artist wants to be spotlighted the first thing catches your eye.
