Even though it's three weeks into the course, I wrote this at the beginning. My thoughts about art. My definition of art is thoughts, emotions, and dreams all splattered onto a piece of paper. I believe its a way people express themselves with colors and different patterns and dimensions. I feel that my question is legitimate because, it expresses peoples feelings, thoughts, dreams, and emotions all on one piece of paper, which they call "art". The three materials and techniques I have never used are clay, mod pudge, and print making. I am not quite sure what my strengths such as work skills, interest, and my abilities are as an artist because, I haven't been in an art course for about three or four years. I only remember one assignment I did and it was a sketch of a donut turning into Homer Simpson. I found it quite neat and I thought it was the greatest sketch I've ever done. Although there is one thing I find difficult to do in school, which is to stay focused. Teachers and due dates make me feel nervous, people make me mad and I wish I was somewhere else. Anywhere but, here.
