“After taking Art 1 Drawing 1, I was able to plan out a compelling composition, find references, and accurately craft a drawing using graphite. In Art 2, I took my toolbox of skills and explored. I went from creating compositions using the rules I had learned to breaking those rules to create specific emotions in my viewers. I experimented with media such as watercolor, white charcoal, and marker. I learned to effectively tell a story visually, which, in essence, is the whole purpose of art. I now feel better equipped to enter the world as a Christian artist with something to say.”
