The Elements Of Art Project Reflection

For this project, I think that I've learned a lot about the Elements of Art. Before we had a chance to do this project, I had basic knowledge about each element but never really know things in this much detail. For this project, I think the hardest part about it is writing and explaining everything out into words. Sometimes it's all in my head, I thought I knew how to explain it, but it turned out to be really difficult to find the perfect words for describing each feeling. While I was writing the captions for each art, it occured that all the adjectives I used to describe each art turned out to be very similar. I think, definitely, next time, I should try to think of better adjectives to describe things as best as I can.

I think I really had a chance to improve my thinking skills and my ability to explain and interpret the feeling or theme that the artist was trying to communicate to us. Because of the Elements of Art, and plus the knowledge we already knew, I had a chance to practice a lot and it's a really good exercise to get my brain thinking about different things. Looking at the art really carefully and trying to use the different elements to help interpret is really useful and it was why it's so much easier than when I was in Chiang Mai. Back then, I still had to sit down and focus for a while before I could actually put everything together, make it sounds sensible and say what I think.

I think the project itself was pretty good and I'm proud of it. I really felt that I had really good time management for the art-making part because I finished everything as planned and didn't really have to do any extra work that is out of class. The art that I did wasn't too hard so it didn't take me so long. I sort of knew my limitations and my ability so I didn't aim to do something that was super hard. But for the research time management, I can say that I could have done better. I didn't really have a plan of when to do what for the research so it was not so organized. But in terms of content, I think I did quite well. I covered wide range of periods and quite varied artists. Overall, I think it is a pretty good project!
