Learning how to See: Representation and Approach

1. My intention was to explore myself as an artist.  I feel like I succeeded in discovering that I focus on a precise use of contour lines and value.

2. In the past, I was in photography, so I took photos that were all very realistic.  In class, I have also always enjoyed doodling, but the lines of my doodles are always very exact.  I feel like both of these past experiences have influenced my aesthetic voice.  I like my pieces to always be very precise, and I struggle to get past a line that appears out of place, and feel the need to redo it.  My strength is maintaining my artistic voice, but I struggle to step out of my comfort zone and present a more abstract representation of objects.  For example, blind contour drawings make me nervous because I feel like I have no control.  I like to be in control of each line that I make.

3. The group feedback generally stated that they liked my precision, value, and composition.  These attributes represent my intentions, and I feel that I was successful in producing a piece that I am proud of.
