Marking Period One-Reflection

            Overall, for the first marking period, I feel that I have improved more than I thought I ever could. Before this, I never considered myself to be an artist, but now that I am more familiar with artistic ways to express yourself, I believe that everyone can be an artist. I have learned more about materials, how they work, and how to manipulate them to make something that I could have never imagined or made purposely. I learned about happy accidents and I figured out that art is all about taking risks. You may fail greatly if you take a huge risk, but you will never greatly succeed if you don't take a huge risk, either.
