Sum it all up!

I have to say this was the most fun I've ever had in art class! Not only did I learn a ton of new things, but I had fun every step of the way. Some stuff I remember doing is still life drawing, batick, charcoal, textile paintings and scratchboard. I enjoyed a lot of stuff, but the things that I was good at were still life, charcoal and scratchboard. I didn't really like painting or baticks. I find paint is hard to blend and it's not one of my better skills. Let's just say I like being able to mess up a ton and be able to erase my mistakes, not easy with paint! Which brings me to the point that I learned a whole lot more about my artistick abilities. I found that I am better with charcoal pencils and drawing real life objects and people. Drawing things like cartoons or just graphic stuff like zentangles aren't my forte, as well as painting. I even entered some stuff in art fair this year for the first time, which was really cool! I won 5th and 3rd places for some of my work, even though I wasn't too happy about the pieces that won, but now I know what to enter in the future. All in all, this year was really fun, and I picked up on skills that I will be sure to continue in the future!(:
