Reflection Essay
In the single school year I have been in Art III, I have learned more than I imagined I would. I have learned to stretch a canvas, choose the right exposure for documentation, and have committed to memory enough art history to win trivia night.

Reaction Post: Anders Zorn
Anders Zorn was a Swedish artist who created hundreds of works in the late 1800s to mid 1900s. He explored many mediums, with my personal favorite being his style of etching.

sculpture process pictures
This picture was taken early on in the sculpting process, when many elements had not yet been added. I'd say that getting the overall shape of the face was the easiest part.

"A Study for April" by Harold Speed artist copy
Although I did not finish this Artist Copy Drawing, I gained a lot of experience with the enlarging and scaling process. I would have liked to do more work on this piece, but in the time I did work on it, I was able to get a nice feel for the artists mark.
