The end of the year has finally come and happy i am to leave and be done with this year. it's sad to leave this class and the friends I have made. Throughout this year I have accomplished and experienced so much this year that I am proud of. my independent project, my artwork, everything feels like it passed so fast. I would be most proud of my improvements in my style and just getting better at art in general. I would have liked to stay but it is time for me to leave the vam class and expand my future. this year has been fun. my independent learning project was a success and though I struggled with it I'm happy with how it turned out. I'm happy that people got to see it and had the time of my life creating it.

For my independent project, I decided to do 5 paintings of witches themed after flowers. I'm doing: sunflower bluebells, sweet alyssum, wisteria, and chrysanthemum. I've been working for the past few weeks on these paintings and have completed all the sketches. This includes designing all the witches, doing multiple passes of different outfits, then finishing the idea and creating the final sketch. I've also finished all the backgrounds for my paintings and 2 paintings. I'm currently working on my third painting. I have found it hard to stay on track a bit but I think I'm doing much better than last year. I've grown and have improved. I think I like this year's project much more than last year's. It's something I'm interested in, doing character design and painting. Art class can be fun and troubling at the same time. This time we were doing our big year-end project, everything leading up to this movement was for this, we have 60 days to plan, work and finish our projects. At the start I was having a hard time deceiving what I wanted to do, I eventually figured out what I wish to spend the next 60 days of my life doing. I was going to do a meme with my own characters that I designed beforehand. After figuring out what I was going to do I then started on my art. I first grabbed a drawing table, hooked it up to the computer and started on my sketches. I did my first sketch and then went over it in more detail. After that, I did my line art and rendered my art, then repeated that four more times. After I was done with my digital drawing I then went on to my paintings
With only two weeks left of my project, I started to feel the pressure. Not only did I have to sketch on my canvases but I also had to paint the background, paint my character and then paint the borders. This was starting to feel like I was in over my head. As we made our way into the middle of the week I started to fall behind. Then the pressure started to kick in, I spent long nights, and early mornings and finally I started to catch up. That's all for now, listen next time to see the results. I wish you all the best easter. My very first art show was at the celebration of learning. It did seem like a big deal and I was pretty nervous about it. I wanted to put up my painting we did in class because I thought it showed the most of my skills. It showed my ability to look at a photo and paint what I see. My first art show was quite calm, not many people came all at once. it was easy to manage, not to mention we didn't have to stand at our art and talk to all the people that came. I was able to walk around not worrying too much about having to talk and really help my first time getting used to sharing my art. Everyone's art was amazing, I think we did a great job. Others walked around and told people about their art, other academies were selling things and handing out samples of what they made, but I feel as if our art was enough. Though things were not all good. With my art I had a spot where water was spilt and the paint cracked. For my statue I was not really pleased with how one side went more out than the other. It overall looks very good, I was very pleased with it and we just call the mistake a design choice.
