My first quarter of art in high school was not what I thought it would be. I anticipated it to be all about drawing and learning about colors and shapes, but it was really about learning the many principles and elements of art and how they made up an artwork. I enjoyed participating in projects and activities such as the exquisite corpse and the accordion book, I was challenged by using all the elements and principles of art into a composition. I see art differently, I view artist's work as something new and unique. Art not only express the artist's emotions but it can connect to the world. Blogs was a transition from regular work which made it hands- on so students can see how art can be represented in numerous of ways. Viewing and judging art is important, if one person does not like a particular work of art they are likely to talk negative and dislike the art. I was taught various things in art this quarter but one thing I must say gaining the knowledge and enjoying doing it is what made this quarter good.
