Self Analysis
This class started with me wanted to have a deeper relationship with art. I consider myself a DIY person. I’m always wondering about my next project or latest obsession. I’ve learned how to sew, knit, crochet, I work with resin, make jewelry, and I even embroider. Although I am not a master in any of those skills, I’ve taught myself the basic. One category that remains an estranged relative is drawing. I do not dabble in it often because I am not that skilled. However, I no longer wanted to hold onto that fixed mindset, so I enrolled in the art course. Overall the course was challenging. I never attempted…

12 Drawing Series
I really pondered for a couple days on what to observe for the 12 drawings series. I looked over into the corner of my room and saw a large pile of my stuffed animals in a pile on my chair. I loved them so I decided to draw them, and I’m not that skilled in drawing realistically so I considered the simple angles and patterns ideal for a starting point. Above is the nearly finished project I deemed presentable. The last image is a part of the final drawing series but I didn’t seem to fit in ways I wanted nor appreciated, so it is included as a progress shot…

My Time
This piece was inspired by a song and a poem. While I was discovering what I wanted to draw and after countless journeys throughout the Dana building, I decided to sit down and listen to some music. A song from a new album I was listening to started playing called My Time by Jeon Jungkook of BTS. The song begins with him feeling how fast time has gone, and that resonated with me so I deiced for the main concept to surround time. The english translation is first and then korean (original lyrics). Twenty-four, it feels like I grew up faster than anyone else. My life has been a movie…

Thumbnail Art
This is my first time taking an art class since middle school. That being said, the Thumbnail assignment was an interesting and challenging first exercise to understand the various depths and textures of numerous objects that can be brought out through art using different mediums or equipment. My favorite three pieces are the bottom left, top middle, and bottom right. For the one on the bottom left, the materials I used for this piece were the sharpie and the red and white color sticks. I enjoyed the technique I used to bring out the light because the dark background provided a nice contrast to represent the light coming from the…

Why do we accept things at face value?
After continuous vain efforts of thinking of a beautiful question I ultimately could not conjure anything worth questioning. I was at a dead end. Although my lack of imagination may seem unfortunate, I believe otherwise. Some people may find this assignment easy. Maybe they decided to question something abstract, but I simply struggled with its concept. I didn’t want anything simple, but I didn’t want to question something that I really wasn’t interested in. After the lecture regarding religious studies and beautiful questions, I became slightly intrigued. Religion provides the opportunity to form numerous amounts of endless questions regarding faith and truth. However, I felt more of a…
