I came into this class after not have taken an art class since sophomore year. Needless to say, my skills were a little rusty. Mrs. Rossi has a wonderful curriculum that quickly refreshed my talents and taught me even more. The first major project, pen and ink, was something that I was familiar with, and I still learned so much more about the medium than I had known. Important lessons in perspective and texture left me with skills that I will continue to use while drawing all my life. Next was the watercolor project. I have never been proficient in watercolor, nor painting in general, so I came into this unit with little experience. The exercises that I undertook in this unit really helped me to evolve my skill and passion for painting, and my final project for the unit is what I consider to be my best painting so far. Finally, we ended with the collage project. While it may not have been my favorite thing to work on, I must admit that it is certainly a unique medium, and I can see how people really enjoy creating with it.
Overall, I really enjoyed this class, and I think that the skills and mediums I have learned under Mrs. Rossi will help me with further artistic adventures in my future. I would whole-heartedly recommend this class to anyone who enjoys art and wants to take their interests and skill to the next step.
