Week 10 Blog Post

It has been a great pleasure to have taken this class this quarter and it has truly allowed me to grow artistically.  I have always enjoyed doodling but never thought of taking any actual classes to better my abilities. Over the past ten weeks, I have seen an improvement in my abilities and it's been such an amazing thing to see. My ability to draw hands has gotten way better over this quarter and I can proudly say that this class has given me a feeling of confidence because I honestly never thought I would be good enough, but I've come to learn how to trust myself. I really loved the way in which Professor Alma led lectures because she made them really interesting and I could see that she has a real passion for the arts and her community. This class has pushed me to see the ways in which I can use art to uplift my community. This class has introduced me to artists who used their art to relate to their communities and I hope that I can do that as well. This quarter has allowed my patience to grow especially when something did not come out the way I wanted it to, like my color wheel for example.

I would like to thank the Professor and TA for their hard work and for their ability to support us as students. This has been a pleasure and I'm looking forward to the future  Chicanx art courses I will take.
