Me... The senior artist

Art as a whole for me was a journey these past couple of years, the destination unknown, the price unimaginable, but the lesson unforgettable. I have found myself in so many ways through art, but most importantly, I found growth. I found the never ending evolution of art, and how it has directly affected me as an artist, and as a person.
My journey started as a young freshman with only drawings of fictional characters in his sketchbook. Art was nothing more than my hand, a pencil, some printer paper, and an endless imagination. I was content with that, until art decided to change on me. It grew first into being my hand, charcoal, newsprint, and an endless imagination. Now art has blossomed into being my body, an endless array of tools, any surface, and an endless imagination. Although art these past years drastically changed my technique, it kept one thing untouched.

Stepping away from the artistic writing, my art has changed so much since my freshman year, the most important change was finding my love for mixed media. It seems that now every piece I make has some sort of mixed media component, in fact, the main piece of my portfolio was a mixed media piece. Back in 9th grade I would have thought that piece would be a sketch of something.
Also, I have noticed an evolution in the themes I use to create art. Before I would try to make art about themes by making a picture about that theme directly, now I portray the emotion of that theme directly to my canvas, I also have noticed I incorporate flowers into most of my pieces.
For Senior Studio I want to create a collection, or just one big piece, based on the Seven deadly sins: Gluttony, Wrath, Pride, Lust, Greed, Sloth, and Envy. I want these pieces to show the darker side to art I have, because I feel I haven't tapped into that side so much.
So this was Me... The senior artist
