AP Art was a great year long class. It challenged me and pushed me to become a better artist. I started out the semester with little expectations for this class. I mostly took it because I've always genuinely enjoyed art and I thought it'd be fun. I never expected to learn much from it.
This class and the people in it impacted me. I learned a lot from the people around me, from new techniques to guidance, my classmates helped a lot. It was a very enjoyable class and I am thankful for the memories and knowledge I gained from it. I hope to keep in touch with some of my classmates and I wish those going into the art profession the best, I now know the hard work that goes into creating quality art. This is my 5th concentration piece. I followed the style from my last piece using watercolor and ink because I wanted to see what else I could create with it. I didn't like this piece at first but now I actually like it. I realize now that I need to stay away from making things centered in my pieces because it can get boring to look at. I like how the colors ended up looking, I was a bit skeptical about the color combination that I picked but I ended up liking the way it looks. I did this piece because someone at my table suggested that I incorporate food into my coffee theme so I thought of the countless times I've gone to La Farm Bakery and gotten a cup of coffee with a macaroon. I think that I could add more to this because it looks simple as it is, I don't know I may go back to this piece and add more when I'm done with the rest if I have time. I like using the watercolor and ink because its fairly simple and fast to do which helps with the limited time that we have to finish the rest of the pieces. Moving on from here I think I will do more pieces with ink and watercolor because I can get them done in a timely manner and ,if I add more detail, can look neat and put together. I am going to work harder to pick up the pace and make my finishing pieces a little more intricate than the ones I've been doing, maybe the last 4 I will do more detailed. overall I liked this piece and I will try to add more and make it a little bit more interesting.
