- Which project was your favorite or most successful this year? Please explain.
- My favorite project this year was the portrait I did of my brother as a baby sitting on a big chair. I'm not exactly sure why I like it so much but something about the values within it and the contrast between his form and that of the chair is very pleasing to me.

- Choose 1 piece of Art that you used skills and techniques learned from previous projects. Discuss your growth as an artist and how you incorporated these skills and techniques to create the piece.
- My portrait of Gretta Hogland was a learning experience for me because it was only the second time I had used white charcoal on black paper. I had to figure out how to keep the darkest values clean from the white and how to blend. It was like doing everything I normally do backwards.

- Choose a piece or artwork where the subject matter reflects you as an artist or that you have a personal connection to. Please explain your choice.
- The entirety of my concentration was portraits of family members that I had personal connections to. One in particular that represents me more as an artist would be the piece I did of my uncle Jimmy making a weird face and wearing old clothes. I did the piece originally because he was very close to my immeadiate family until he had to move to texas, which was hard on my dad to have him so far away. He then had a stroke and now suffers from nerve damage. As an artist I always like to make things not as they seem; like masking a sad story behind a funny picture.

- Can you offer any additional feedback on this course?
- This course really challenged me as an artist. Id never been in the situation where I had to create and be critiqued for a grade. It forced me to learn how to manage time better and use new materials in order to further my art.

- How can art (in any of its many forms) help change the world or your own life for the better? Give some examples of how you value or interact with art everyday.
- I could confidently say that my entire life is art. Every waking moment is spent thinking about art in some form or another because the whole world in itself is art. Once people realize that they're living in an art exhibit they can start to appreciate the beauty in everything, which I believe will better people's lives.
