Reflections from the 1st Marking Period

I said it before and I'll say it again, art is something I'm not particularly an expert in.  I was really hesitant in the beginning to try and keep an open mind about what I just had gotten myself into.  I got frustrated and sometimes even angry because I wasn't able to draw as well as some of the other kids in my class.  Ms. Kiick kept telling me to try and enjoy the process. 

I really enjoyed the collage project because it was fun to make a mess and cut up magazines without getting in trouble!  I think as the year goes on, I'm finding myself willing to be more open and try harder to understand what I can do. I know that no matter what, I'll find my inner artist and do well in class this year.  If nothing else, I know that my mom will hang my stuff on the refrigerator and brag to the relatives about what a great artist I've become!
