This class was such a blessing to have taken. I learned so much about myself and my art through this class. I gained technical skills in acrylic, as shown with my self portrait, where I learned to balance lights and darks to make the piece more appealing. I leaned into my illustrative side on the Interior Spaces and the tarot cards and pushed the boundaries of my personal style. At the beginning of the class we did a prismacolor piece, which is one of my weakest mediums, and I learned techniques and skill and vastly improved my ability in that medium. You can compare that to the self portrait in prismacolors I did in Art 2, and you can tell what a difference there is. I loved seeing my peers interpretations of the prompts and it was amazing to watch them grow and change along with me. There is such a community of passionate artists all around me and I am very thankful. The palette knife painting in oils was a real struggle because of the large scale and the fact that I had to think of a creative color palette. I think I overcame that though, and I find the piece to be very successful in the end. So many of my pieces have started out shaky and ended better than I could have ever expected under the right guidance.
