Ohhh yeah.

1.) What are 3 art related things that you have learned so far this year? What have you tried, improved upon, or conceptually thought of?

- I think the biggest "art related thing" I have learned this year is basically in the areas of my strengths and weaknesses. I have learned what I like to work with and what I don't, but I mostly have learned I really want to stick with art and still have tons of room to grow. I have also learned how to use and try different things when making art!

2.) What areas of art do you still need to improve?

- I need to improve mostly on just sticking with/starting off with a solid idea - I ALWAYS change my ideas! I have gotten better, though.

3.) Where do you see yourself, art related, in 3 years? Will you still be pursuing art and trying new things or do you think it will take a back seat in your lives?

- I am not positive, but I know that art will always be in my life in some ways. I hope for it to stay in my career, and I am pretty sure it will!

4.) What have you gotten out of this class?

- A lot of things! Mostly it has kind of been a time of reflecting for myself and I am thankful for that. I have had a really hard past two years, and I feel like I needed this time to grow and reflect. I feel like I am finally coming out of my creative rut and I love it!

This is Really Dumb...

On Friday I went prom dress shopping with Amber and Erica and this got me sooo excited for prom! I don't know what it is about prom, but I just love it! I sound like such a girl, but I cannot wait. Trying on different dresses, tanning, finding accessories - these small things in preparation for this one day some of the best part! I always have a hard time finding shoes, though. I have kinda big feet:( ok, really big. But I guess I'm pretty tall, too. I'm taller than my boyfriend, it's kinda sad, but it's okay. He's lucky I like him or I'd find a new date (I guess I wouldn't be dating him if I didn't). I think finding your dress is definitely the best part. There are so many different styles and colors and patterns and so many to choose from! I think it is so much fun. I am especially excited for this year because last year my mom did not get to look for dresses with me which made me really sad. Prom was around the time she was diagnosed with cancer and so she was always in bed or in the hospital, but she does not have this cancer anymore and I think that this is the main reason why I am so excited for this dance. Plus, it is our last high school dance, it is crazy!! I'm not going to be one who holds onto high school as the best days of my life (that's pathetic), but I definitely have great memories from high school. Anyways - not only do we get to spend the next month looking for the right dress and accessories, but then comes prom where you spend the day doing your hair and makeup and getting your nails done having such a fun night with your friends! Everyone should go, I am obviously very excited and this is one of the dumbest blogs ever but I just felt like ranting about my excitement!

I've got an itch!

Right now we are doing are project in my 2D design class that is... scratch art!! I am really excited for this project because I have never used scratch art (for an actual project). This scratch art project is also why I put my title as 'I've got an itch', because I can't wait to begin scratching, haha. I LOVE using new mediums because I always suck the first time but I find out if I like it or not and normally I love it! I also just used oil paints for my first time ever and I like them as well. I don't know why but I just love using new mediums. I love experimenting and learning new things. I just love to learn! "Write how it is going to be amazing and I am going to be proud of you" -Mrs. Martin (referring to my scratch art)... I better do a good job. I like my idea, it of course involves a person. I don't know why but people just fascinate me. Also - to ramble a little more - you guys need to learn how to spell! I know i make errors on my blogs as well but we were just discussing how some people cannot spell and Mrs. Martin told me to write my blog about that after I had already started... so... I don't know. First lesson in spelling: there is a MAJOR difference in 'your' and 'you're', also, there is a major difference in 'there' and 'their'. Those are just two small things to remember. THERE you go!
