so this year was pretty fun... i'd say that i learned a lot about myself as an artist. i have definitely learned that i procrastinate too much and that maybe i should've picked a different concentration. i just don't know what to do with 12 paintings of seeds and pods... but overall i'd say this year was beneficial. i was proud of the fact that i finished all 12 pieces and generally liked all of them, but i feel like i could've spent more time on each one of them to make them the best they could be. i maybe should've experimented with more different mediums, and perhaps could've found a bigger variety of pods. i wish i had also done more abstract works instead of just putting the object on the canvas, but i think i improved that as the year went on. advice: be happy! i feel like art is the best when it's beneficial to those who make it. who cares what others think of your art as long as you are satisfied with it? have a good year AP students! be nice to ms mcbride and she'll be nice to you!
