How far we've come. . .

I love what everybody wrote about this week. Margaret, thanks for sharing your dream (as well as all your other thoughtful insights)- I think you were reliving your recent Design II computer experiences. Anxiety is funny that way. I really liked Laura's thoughtful insights this week as well. One thing art has taught me is that it's ok to fail sometimes because when something works out, it is more the sweeter and we always learn from the experience. When we started out in Drawing this semester, I never thought I'd ever get the hang of conte crayons or pastels; and now, I find using pencils tedious and not as gratifying as I used to. I notice that all of our work from class now has taken on a depth and richer dimension than those first 10 drawings we brought to our second class this semester. I am glad to be almost done with the fundamentals, but I have really enjoyed everyone in class this semester. It is a pleasure to be around so many talented and interesting people who so willingly share their opinions, supplies and time with each other. Thank you all for helping me become a better artist. Have a great summer and hope everyone makes stuff they like and have fun with in their time off form school! ann
