arttttttttttttt

This year I have learned that you really need a concept for your or for it to be successful. I have learned that people perceive art many different ways and what some people think is controversial others do not. Also that lighting change instantly change the mood of a photograph. I have also learned that it is challenging being inspired by this town to make art. I feel like it is a good thing that I will be leaving washington. I am creatively worn out by this place. This year i have really been focusing on portraits and photography. I feel like have become more aware of the human form and the body by all the portraits I have done recently--so this has mane my pictures a little bit more successful. Recently though I feel like my pictures are not as clear as they need to be which is something I need to work on, along with my drawing skills obviously. In three years I will just be starting to really focus on my major in college. At this point in time I am planning on double majoring in photography and graphic design so instead of taking a backseat, art will be ridin shotgun. So far this year I have gotten a lot of help and constructive from my teachers and classmates. I really like to hear what others think about my art or if there is something I need to fix because it is always nice to hear someone else's honest opinion.

Bloom

Bloom is coming up and it is time for me to enter pieces. It is surprising how fast it has come. I feel like this year has gone by so fast, I guess I have just been really busy with school and figuring out what I am doing with college. I can enter up to three, but I have no idea what to enter. I am for sure entering all photography, but  I am torn if I should enter pieces from the summer or my newer photographs. So what I want to know form all of you is for you to give me some advice or you input of what three pieces I should enter??!!!.....

I know you may not remember everything I have done this year, but maybe some  of the names of my photographs and a simple description will help you to remember.
