Art Fundamentals Day 1

Some of my hobbies would include skiing, softball, field hockey, running, and staying in shape. I would say I go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week. Since I can't drive, it's hard to go everyday, but when I get my license I will be at the gym everyday. I have been playing softball since I was in 4th grade, and to this day, I still love to play. Field hockey on the other hand, is something that I didn't start until 8th grade. I love field hockey, and I love our coaches. Lewis and Hutch are two of the best coaches, without them, the program wouldn't be as great as it is. My favorite class in school I would have to say so far this year is history with Mrs.Ruthman. She is very understanding and helpful in class. Oh another hobby that I have is texting. I don't think I could live without my phone. I know that's something a typical teenage girl would say, but I just thought you should know that I am a typical teenage girl.

When I think of art, I think of creativity. If I were to pick my favorite kind of art, I would say painting. I may not be very good at it, but I feel like it's a way to let your emotions and feelings come alive on a piece of paper. My grandmother paints and draws all of the time, so whenever I go up there she likes me to paint and draw with her, so that's how my art 'career' started. I wasn't planning on taking art this year, but I heard that it was worth it. I love photography and in order to take that, I know that I have to take art fundamentals, so that's why I'm taking it!

I think what motivates me the most is having somebody that tells me that I'm doing well, but still gives me tips and tries to make my work better. Also, I feel like in this class, something that would be helpful is getting enough time to do work since art seems like it takes a while to complete. Something else that could be helpful is if you were to regularly check on what we are working on, and tell us what you like about what we are doing, and what we could improve. I'm sure that is something that you be doing anyway but if not, that is something that would help me.
