Reflection

This year has flown by, I can't believe how many project as a class we have gotten through. I have improved my painting skills, and have learned a few new tricks for wheel throwing from watching You Tube videos. My favorite project from the second semester would be my water color painting. I really loved how that one turned out and I enjoyed using the technique with the salt and blending the blues in the background. My least favorite project was probably my oil pastel drawling of the flowers in a granden. It just didn't turn out as well as I was hoping. Next time I might try the blending differently, like instead of using my fingers use a white pastel. I think throughout this year I got pretty darn good at blending colors.  What could maybe use some more work is my wheel throwing skills. I did learn things from watching those You Tube videos but I'm still not very good. Although I tried multiply times to make a good mug, none of them really turned out as well as I was hoping. There was one mug that I really liked and the bottom ended up being to thin and getting a whole in it. Bummer. Anyways, my plan for next year is that even though I am not taking any art classes is to stop in when I can and do some wheel throwing, and maybe even some ink, and water color paintings. Hopefully I'll be able to send some thing to the art fair.
