Artist Statement 10th Grade - Draw Paint 1
Throughout the school year, I feel that I have improved my craft, many new techniques, and working with new mediums such as scratchboard. I still believe I can improve on realistic drawings, but my ability to see things in order to make them more realistic and three-dimensional has visually improved through my work from this year.
I would love to continue honing my craft creating art that I, as well as others love to look at an interpret. My favorite medium is watercolor, and I would love to learn how to improve my realistic watercolor skills.
I believe the area I have most improved in is graphite and portraits. My sketching skills been the highlight of my year. My two favorite projects were the Zentangle because it helps me be more creative and original, and I'm very proud of my scratchboard, because it was my first full portrait with anything, and I'm very proud of how it turned out.

Artist Statement 11th Grade - Draw Paint 2
Throughout the school year I have learned how to be more efficient and create art in higher quality and quantity than I've ever done in the past. I believe my biggest improvement is composition, the range of projects has helped me develop a more aware sense of space. My ability to draw realistic body parts needs more improvement.
I feel that I have really improved my realistic water color, which is still my favorite medium. Now I would like to a challenge similar to the 31 nights project we did twice this year in art and create high quality sketches in 30 minutes or less.
The highlight of my year has been my ability to adapt to so many different mediums and techniques to create a big and diverse portfolio. My favorite project this year was the realistic fruit watercolor and the tempera batik towards the end of the year. I loved being able to improve my technique and plan for the batik on how I wanted the ink to appear without any real reference. The project I feel I could have done a better job on the most is the hand drawing at the beginning of the year. My hand drawing from last year was much stronger and proportional in the composition and the hands.
