One thing I have learned is that proportions are key and so is concept in most cases. I have learned that I hate doing pieces in graphite (reminds me too much of a sketch). I have improved on proportions and placement through my still life's.
I need to improve on a lot of things like placement and proportions still...and drawing from life. GROAN!
In three years I see myself still improving on my skills and maybe dabbling in making jewlery...and giving tattoos. I know that for sure. :)
I have gotten a lot out of this class. Espectially how you need ot think of how someone is going to view your pieces with a different background and how you can convey what you want to say into a "language" that they'll understand. I have also learned that what people think sums up to nothing if you are happy with what you are making.

Nena I completely share a hatred of using graphite - i cannot stand any pieces that I do in graphite, and I'm normally not impressed by pieces done in it. There's just not enough contrast, it always seems dull to me.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I like how you mention how art is conveyed and perceived by others. I think that is a tough thing for a lot of us to grasp.
I DON'T LIKE GRAPHITE EITHER!!! It's stupid.
ReplyDeleteBut I love the idea of tattooing and making jewelry - that's awesome:)
i see that you are interested in tattoo art and that's pretty awesome! I am also seeing myself creating tattoo designs in fact, i am in the process of making 3 tattoos for friends and family. Proportions are Key in tattoo art as well as all other forms... you don't want some misshapen object permanently tattooed on your body forever... :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you in that I also have to work on drawing from life. But sometimes it's just too Boring!! haha. I'm glad that you still want to pursue art and be a tattoo artist. That's awesome :)
ReplyDeleteGraphite suckss!!!!! But you can give me my second tatoo!
ReplyDeleteI think that it matters to me what people think about my art, sometimes it really makes me think about changing my whole project. But I agree that it doesn't really matter as long as you understand exactly what your doing and that you personally like it, because there is always going to be someone that doesn't like you work, but there is also always going to be someone that loves it. I think the final opinion should be yours on whether you like it or not:)
