week 10 reflection

Week 10 

It was certainly a pleasure to take this art class with Professor Lopez. Coming in I was a bit hesitant just with the material and concepts we were going to learn, but overall I think it was fascinating taking a different class that did not rely on the traditional textbooks and equations that I am used to learning. This class offered a new dynamic in art and helped develop or showcase some abilities I never truly had. Learning the variety styles of art and the basics of how to draw really improved from the beginning of the class to now. My favorite portion of the class were the artist presentations at the end of the quarter. Being able to listen to the other students and hear about the variety of artists and different types really opened my eyes to the art world. Personally I am not truly into art or being an artist, so it really unleashed a new world and the array of unique characteristics each artist had. Being able to hear their stories or see their diverse styles is really what creates who they are in art. Another feature of this class that was fascinating were the sketchbooks. Having the ability to take the time in and out of class really allowed me to see what I can do. Drawing is something I never really did, so it was nice to work into a new element in life for a period of time. Overall, if I had the ability to take this class once again, I certainly would!
