For my 4th concentration piece I went smaller than usual, and was able to recreate the ducks from another piece. In this artwork I took the same ducks I used in ordinary objects to make a concentration piece. While I was creating the piece I began to realize how quickly I can finish pieces if I put my mind to it. I’ve grown as an artist using colored pencils and I’m proud of my growth. I feel as if I can create a quality piece under pressure and under strict time constraints which resembles real life situations. I think the strict deadlines have made me push myself to become more disciplined and structured in how I work. I understand that art can be a fun class but also very challenging. I’m thankful to have a teacher like Mrs. Rossi who is able to push us because she knows how far we can go. Real life includes deadlines and stress but that is part of the process and part of being an artist. It was interesting to me how the more freedom we have, the more responsibility we must take on. We have the freedom to make more mistakes but also more freedom to develop our true style and technique because we’ve been given all the tools we just need to use them. It’s also very interesting what different pieces can teach you. Like this one didn’t teach me anything about technique but it taught me about deadlines and pressure; which is just as important as any other artistic technique. I’m happy with the overall product, it isn’t one of my favorites but it’s very simple but colorful. I need to change my palette after I created several pieces involving lots of browns.
