What did you learn/discover? 

One of the things I learned is that it is worth it to get out of your comfort zone and try new things. I was definitely scared at the beginning of the semester thinking of all of the challenges that were centered on materials/ideas I had never tried before, but I ended up really enjoying the whole process and creating new things that I probably would have never created otherwise. 


What quick challenge(s) did you favor and why? 

I think overall I tended to favor the challenges where I was able to draw like normal since that is what I’m the most comfortable with. Some of my favorite challenges were draw on objects, paper and gesso, and found object drawing. I was nervous about the paper and gesso challenge at first because I had never done anything like it before and had no idea what I was going to make. I ended up really enjoying it and getting messy and just letting my instincts take over and not really thinking too much about what my next step making the pieces was going to be.


What ideas and/or materials do you want to keep exploring?

I think one of the ideas I want to continue is found object drawings. I think it could be a very helpful way to get out of art slumps and burnout. I also really enjoyed drawing on transparent paper, I think it’s a fun material to use. I also ended up getting better at making digital art which I am happy about and will keep improving on.
