One of my favorite parts of this
class was that I got to use a lot
of materials that I hadnt used
before and wouldnt have used
on my own. Through the use of
different materials such as
Stabilo markers, Micron pens,
colored pencils, crayons,
watercolor, china marker, oil
pastel, pencil, and linoleum
carving I became more adept at
the elements of art (such as
movement, value, contrast, Page 14

In Unit 1 I evaluated the work of
M.C. Escher and Kara Walker in
class, which furthered my
understanding of elements of
art. Outside of class I reviewed
the work of Alfred Basha which
helped me develop my own

Overall, this class has been
tremendously valuable to me.
