Mid Term Reflection

at the beginning of the year we were asked to write a document that identifyies signs that show that we are engaged in the class as individuals. I wrote that i dont usually like to speak up in front of everybody, but somtimes i do and thats a sign of engagement. I think i am getting better at speaking up ore but i still prefer to show mh enggement through the focus on art and through my sketchbook. Speaking of Sketcbook, i have a lot of room for improvement with that. I really like to work in the sketchbook, but i am struggling with the due dates. I tend to work slower in general and especcialy in art and because of my pace i dont end up finishing things. Even though it is a sketchbook i still am being too particular on how everything has to look and thats whats keeping me from finishing the spreads. I think i can change that and that soon i am hoping it will be less of an issue for me. As far as the work i have finnished up to this point, i am not that happy with. I like the assinmennts and i enjoy doing them but i just dont end up liking the way it turns out for me. This isn't unusual for me, infact after all the years i have taken art i dont have too many products that i feel really happy with. I also have a lot of projects that arn't finished. Drawing from observation on tuesdays gives me mixed feelings. WHile i do enjoy drwing still life somtimes , i am not into the time pressure knowing that we only have that one period to finish the piece. I am always happy to go back to the long term projects that we are in the middle of when D.E.A.D is over but i find drawing from observation relaxing, and some of my favriote pieces of mine in the past years ave ben still lifes. I also am more enthusiastic about it when we arnt all drawing the same thing and when we get to cose the item we want to draw. Maybe somthing manufactuerd like a toy becaus ewe have done lots of natrual objects.. But i like the class a lot and feel that i am the one who needs to pick up my pae and be more accepting of my art.
