I never really thought about art having a symbolic meaning. To me its seemed like painted slapped down and sold for hundreds and thousands of dollars. I knew most art had a meaning to the artist themselves but never understood that they were trying to send us a message. I have never used symbolism in my art to me what you see is what you get in my work. It had no special meaning or connection to my life it’s just fun.
I now know the purpose of art, art is used to show ideas artist have on current issues. Symbolism is used in art to show that they reject what society is saying or doing. A lot of art my look similar to other pieces but each and every art piece is different in its meaning. My art now after being in this class has developed in its meaning. I created a piece that captures my life a few years ago I feel into a depression and always thought I was being judged. In a way I was a prisoner of my own mind and I felt gray and down on myself. So I decided to create a 3d Shallotteof a head with just the outline of eyes and a single tear. I wrote descriptive feeling such as fear worthless all over to show that anyone can feel this way. While in this class I learned about mixing colors. Before whenever I decided to paint I would go out and buy every color I could possibly need wasting tons of money. Now I know with just four colors I can create any color I want. By mixing the primary I can create any color. And with black and white you can create any variation of a color. Thus giving me endless opportunities for paintings. There is not much I would change about the learning experience. I learned all kind of new techniques for drawing and painting. I do feel as though when doing blog post it is hard to make hem long for a very simple question. It would have been easier to have a more elaborate question or not have I required length. I also feel in some of the areas such as printmaking we should have spent more time on it. So that we could use the linoleum jelly and make a real stamp instead of gluing trash together. This was most likely a result from having a substitute most of the time but I do think he should have spent more time on print making.
