SKETCHBOOK ASSIGNMENT
The sketchbook assignment that I came up with is to try to change a picture with effects or other changes.

SKETCHBOOK

PERSONAL BEST
This was created on 11/22/13. It was made with graphite pencils and is a self portrait.

ARTISTIC REFLECTION
Outside of art, I am creative when I make baton routines.
The area I am working to improve my skills most is shading and highlighting.
My favorite project was the monsters because I like working with clay.
My least favorite project was the ink and pen buildings because it was took a lot of patience.
I think I improved in how I approach art. If I wanted to draw/make something I will have an idea of how to start.
