I as an artist, I know that for a
fact that art has been a great impact in my life. There are so many things that
I have learned in the past years, different ways of doing things. I have
learned different techniques that people have done over the years. It’s cool
seeing how things have evolved over the years. The things I have learned I will
for sure in the future of me doing art.
This year in drawing and painting has
been a really big eye opener and I have learned so much! I figured out how to
layer paint and not blend paint as much. I mostly focused on using acrylic
paint with canvas. With the paintings that I did I tried to focus using warm
colors so that it would catch peoples eyes more. Then other thing that I
learned to do is using multi canvas for my paintings. I did that because I like
how your eye flows through each canvas and kind of connects them at the same
time. Those are something that I have learned in my drawing and painting class.
There has
been anything amazing things that I have learned in ceramics the past years but
I think that this year has been the most impact-full year of them all. I figured
out how to make artwork that will be able to help get a job doing art. For
example throwing pottery on a wheel. I like how your able to create personal
pieces and be ever valuable at the same time. I learned the different ways of
being able to shape and move the clay to the way I want it to end up to be.
Throwing on a wheel is one of the biggest life lessons that I have learned this
year, I hope that more into the year I master the techniques of throwing and be
able to make fabulous pottery.
Some of the
people that have inspired me the most in my drawing and painting class would
have to be Salvador Dali because I really like how he does things without
caring what people thing of this artwork. I like he is able to express himself
in his painting without caring what people will think about it. He takes normal
pictures and then does something complete different then the original picture. That
what I kind of like to stop worrying about what people think of my paintings
and just worry about if I like it myself. That right there is what really
inspires me the most. Quit trying to worry so much about other peoples thoughts
or judgments.
I also have
learned the different ways people over the years have done different clay
projects or sculptors. There’s a couple of artist that I researched and Sarah
Paloma was one of the people that I researched and she has impacted me the most
of them all. I really enjoyed how she
would make normal pottery but she would add her own twist to them and made them
different from normal pottery. That’s how I want to be able to make things that
might be normal but when I’m done with my pottery I want to be able to add my
own twist to them and make them my personal artwork. I think that’s one thing
that I have learned from researching her.
There are
also so many things that I have learned but I like to see how different artists
have evolved over the years. For example you can go back hundreds of years and
see how pottery was like and you see how now it’s made and it’s crazy to see
how much things have changed but they all have that creative and eye catching
creation in them. Things back then were made hand made but they still managed
to be amazing art creations that people would pay a ton of money for today.
Then you look at how pottery is made and it’s just so different but it’s still
beautiful art pieces but there made using electric wheels or molds to create
them. In the past it took true art skills to be able to make those great
creations.
Those are
some of the things that I have learned over this year and I’m ready to learn
even more and master creating pottery. I have learned how Sarah makes normal
looking pottery but she still is able to make it something that is hers. Then
the different ways of being able to make stuff on wheel and how to be able to
shape and form the clay to what I want it to be. Then at the same time I think
it’s really cool to see how pottery has been able to evolve and the different
ways it’s created from then to now and still are able to make amazing creations
with different techniques. That is what I have learned over this year and I’m
excited to learn more.
