Artist statement
My work is suppose to be fun and creative. It's more of a freestyle version instead of a more serious art work. I like color. I see art as a way to show one's personality in a creative way. Over this year, art has shown me that it not only takes time management to do, but it also takes responsibility and creativity.

Growth Reflection
"Outside of art, I am creative when I play sports."
"The area I am working to improve my skills most is my patience."
My favorite project was the self portrait because I enjoyed it and I got to look at myself when I drew myself.
My least favorite project was the yarn project because it was long and very messy.
As an artist, I have improved my creativeness and my penmanship.
