Exam Artist Statement & Portfolio

Through the trimester I feel that I have grown into the artist i wan to be. in this class i have got to create the projects,   experimenting as the class went to create things that I enjoyed. With my projects I have realized that art never have to be perfect. their are people that only classify art as a pictuer hanging in a museum or a perfect sculpture. But art is so much more it can be anything and exposing people to this non perfect side of art is what I  try to accomplish  through my pieces. I try not to limit myself as to how something is supposed to be. My inspiration comes from the environment L have grown up in. Living in  a rural community has allowed me to connect with nature and organic materials easier. my surroundings are not hard and sharp, like one would find in the city. my surroundings are soft and flowing. I try to recreate this flowing nature in my artwork. my art is not perfect, but through the imperfections emotion is easier conveyed and the artwork becomes more relatable.  In this trimester my art has grown, and I have grown. I have learned to not be afraid to take chances.

Week 10 Projects

This week I worked on creating lanterns, the lanterns are made out of pages I did not use for my visual journal. each one is different and special. my lanterns are very meaningful to me because each one expresses my feelings and ideas. This may have been one of my favorite projects  to create . Sometimes my favorite things are the less than perfect ones. Some people may look at these and see a hanging piece of junk. But when I look at them I see beauty.
