This semester in 3D
art, I learned so much about creating art and finding my voice as an
individual. One of my goals this
year was to find out who I am and where I want to go and my art classes helped
me do that. In the first semester I was new to Noblesville and didn't know
anyone. I made a few of my best friends in my art classes (in 2d and 3D art). This
really helped me get comfortable with the school and the people here. My
inspiration for most of my art projects was being unique and finding what makes
everyone different. When people see my work, I'd like them to think "Wow, that really makes me think…."
When I am creating a project, I don't really
always think about what I am doing. I always have a basis for what I want the
project to be, but I never really know until I am finished with it. I just get
new ideas as I go along, and then I work from there. My projects always have a
deeper meaning, but it depends on the viewer to discover what it means to them.
I normally select materials and details that will add to the look and meaning
of the project. I have music and color as some of the major themes in my work because they both are
such a big part of my life.
Being new to Noblesville has
impacted me and has made me grow so much this year. This also changed my
thought process and the techniques for my art. My work has definitely grown
with me. I think that my skill level has gone up dramatically and my creativity
has become more of my own instead of influenced my anything else. The most challenging
thing in art this year was thinking outside if the box. When there are so many
other people trying to create a project along the same lines as my own, I had
to learn how to make my work and ideas very unique. I loved almost every single
art project that I made this year. There were a couple that didn't embellish all of my skills, but they
still turned out pretty well. My favorite artist that our class studied this
year was Banksy. I think that it is awesome that he is getting people to really
think about what they do and to think about society in general, in a real world
context. He really influenced me to put a lot of meaning
into my work and into my thought process. Overall, I felt that my art classes
helped me grow not only as an artist, but as a person this year and I cannot
wait to continue my art work in my photography class next year.
