Reflection

When I think about day one of this course, I had no idea what to expect. Although I had previously taken a Chicano studies class, I had no knowledge of any Chicano/Chicana artists. I am not such a great artist at all, although I do enjoy coloring. My drawing skills that I came in with were not good at all and I cant say that I am a perfect drawer now, but I could say that I learned things about drawing and colors that I didn’t know about before and I would have never learned anywhere else. Its also cool how I learned about the different types of way to produce art through shading, water color and cutting stencils with an x-acto knife.

Another thing, the artists we learned about were such cool and they ranged from sculpture artists to photographers. Like the first day, when you asked us to name artists, we couldn’t name even ten. On the last day of class, we named fifty-two artists and like I mentioned in class its not that I can simply mention so many artists, I can talk to a friend about some of these artists. I learned about my artist so well but I also learned about many others as well.
