I think my best artwork this semester was the text & image artwork (second image) because it was one I really enjoyed, it wasn't like anything else I have done before and I was really happy with how it had turned out. Also, it felt good to give it to you as a gift because it was my favorite one out of everything I had done this semester.
An artwork I would like to redo is the first artwork we had done (first image) because I really like the ideas I had for it but I wasn't very impressed with the end result. I really like the concepts I was trying to show and I feel like a lot of it did not really come together how it should have so if I were to recreate this an artwork from this semester this would be the one I would love to recreate. Something I learned from this class this semester is to not procrastinate as much as I did. I think it is good to procrastinate once in awhile but in this class this year I let myself get really behind. So, in the future I will now know that I hated doing this to myself and therefore I am better prepared for college and life knowing that I highly disliked putting myself behind this much. One thing I wish I could have done in art this semester and in high school was screenprint a t-shirt, this is something I had never done but I had an idea I would have loved to do... maybe I can figure out how to do it on my own sometime soon!

If I were to describe my artwork to someone who cannot see I would first explain to them my love for softball and the impact it has had on me. Next, I would tell them that there is a massive collage of a bunch of pictures taken throughout my senior season. Pictures with teammates, friends, parents, family members. Pictures taken outside of softball with the team, selfies and pictures of the nine seniors who were apart of the team this year. I would then tell them that on the left side there is the word "SENIOR" zig zagged in black letters with the year 2021 in the bottom left corner stacked on each other.
I created my artwork by first painting the left side white to have a base for the letters, then I mod podged down all of the pictures while trying to puzzle them in as best as possible. There were a few edges that pictures could not fit so I took black paper and used it to fill those blank spaces in. Lastly, I cut out the letters and numbers out of the same black paper and also mod podged those down to give the entire collage a glossy look and so it would all look the same. The big idea behind this artwork was to show my love for softball and to also have something to take with me as it is my last high school season. I wanted to show all of my friends, family and teammates who have supported me for years and I wanted to show the people who I can count on the most. My goals for this artwork to create a final project that I really want to keep and enjoy after graduating high school. This is something that I will keep for a long time because it shows some of the best memories I have made during my last months of high school. My other goals was to find a way to have the pictures all together in the best possible way without having extra spaces and not having to cover anyone up. Overall, I really loved this artwork, it was fun to look back at pictures from this last season and it brought up memories not only from softball this season but from all the way back when graduating was not right around the corner. I will miss seeing these girls every summer and high school season and I am excited to have an artwork that I can bring to college with me to look back at and remember all the exciting time I spent with the girls on this team, my family, my coaches and most of all the people I care about the most. Studio Habits:The first studio habit I have been using is observe. I have been observing how the different pictures collage together and looking at what looks best and how to place the photos together to make them look the best. The other habit I have been using is express. By collaging all of these images I am expressing my love for softball and how much I will miss playing in high school but I am also excited for new beginnings. Plans:My plans have stayed very consistent since starting this project and I have stuck to the same plan. My favorite part about this art is looking back at all of the pictures taken from this season so far, I love looking at them but at the same time it makes me sad to see it all be done so soon. I am still working on printing photos and mod podging them. I also have to paint on the side the word "SENIOR 2021" and then I will be done. Images:Description Using Studio Habits:The first studio habits I am using for while planning for this artwork is envision. While planning this artwork I am envisioning what my final artwork will look like. I am thinking of possible ways to collage pictures and what they will look like. The other studio habit I am using while planning this artwork is engage & persist. This is because I have gone in to full senioritis mode and I do not want to do anything, so I am gathering my focus to engage in my artwork and to persist until it is finished. My overall goal with this artwork is to make a collage out of senior softball photos as something I can keep also because softball plays a huge part of my identity and with senior year ending I think it is fitting to create this.
