Dear Ms. Haggerty May, 2016
I earned an A in AP Art/Studio Art II because I worked hard day in a and day out. I came to class each day looking to broaden and develop my art making skills. As an artist I have grown tremendously. From the beginning of this year I am able to see just how much I have changed and truly blossomed, not only as an artist but as a person as well. I was the co-president of National Art Honor Society this past year and I was a part of Art Club.
Throughout this year I have developed my artmaking skills more than ever. I have proven to myself that if I set my mind to becoming a better artist that I was able to do it.For example all of last year I have loved to do watercolor, I was okay at it. I told myself that that was my goal. My goal was to become very familiar with watercolors and to use them a lot more. Another thing that at the beginning of the year I told myself I wanted to get better at was learning how to draw realistically, whether it be with colored pencil, charcoal or maybe even graphite. I wanted to become more creative and more original with my artwork as well. My goal was to think of things on my own, or to see things put in front of me and draw them just as they were seen. My watercolor skills have improved immensely. I am able to feel happy and satisfied with my work once I have finished with it. This does not mean that everything that I have created in the past year I was in love with, but it does mean that I was a lot easier on myself when I would reflect on how I did. As for my drawings using colored pencil, charcoal or graphite, I can see a large amount of improvement with that as well. Now after a year's practice I am able to show the value of different aspects of the drawing, as well as make the drawings life like.
Another thing that I was involved in was National Art Honor Society. I worked to bring other people to the meetings and to help represent art around the school. I gave constructive criticism to people who asked for it. As the co-president, we worked hard to get people involved in Art Club as well. In Art Club we worked on different projects around the school, for example the core values and beliefs painting which was put up back in the fall.
Looking back on this past year I am proud of the art student that I have become. I am able to say that I have sharpened my skills as an artist and as a student in general. I worked hard each day to show art throughout the school as well as becoming involved with other classmates to work on different projects around the school together. I love the artist that I have become.
