We can access images of anything via the internet and snap photos with our phones, so why are drawing and painting still viable methods for making images?
Art is a way of expressing our thoughts and feeling. Simply taking a picture of something doesn't always exactly express our ideas. But making something from our own mind using our imaginations and thoughts allows us to really express them. When taking a picture of something its a set moment in time, unchanged. But with drawing and painting u can erase, paint over, change things in any way you like. You have an immense freedom to create anything you can image. While you can only photograph anything in the world.
Changing photographs to fit our imagination: http://www.divinecaroline.com/22343/102342-drawing-vs-photography personally i think this is one of the coolest things ever! definitely going to do more of these in my free time!

Found Marks
Over the next few days I would like you to be on the lookout for marks in the world that are not made by humans. If you have access to a camera please photograph at least 10 of these "found marks" and upload them to this post in your blog. If you don't have access to a camera, you may describe the marks you found in detail instead. If you choose to write, describe what made the mark, exactly where you saw it, and when you saw it (date and time of day). Images from the internet are not acceptable!

Reflection
Reflecting at the end of the year. Look through your blog. Go all the way back to the beginning of the year. Look especially closely at your finished work. Think about how the year has gone for you. Now, write a detailed paragraph that describes how the course has gone for you. What have you found to be your artistic strengths? What have been your challenges? What do you think you’ll leave the class thinking about? How can you see it influencing your life in the future? LABELS: reflection
This year has been an amazing year of art for me. Not only have I learned a lot and grown as an artist but I have really enjoyed this year with you as my teacher. My work I have finished this year I found has developed and gotten better and better and more creative. My love for art has really been strengthened by taking this class. I have found I love doing collages and working in 3D art but my drawing skills have really improved as well. Drawing is most definitely my greatest art strength but I am looking forward to expanding my horizons and challenging my self. The only real challenge I have had this year is dealing with the tragic loss of my art journal :( After it being lost now for about a month I am starting to worry I may never get it back. I had just finished the journal and it has this entire years art work in it, including some personal things too. This year I think I will leave the class thinking about my lost art journal sitting behind some cabinet in a cold dark corner, or in a smelly pile of trash at a dump. Mostly though I will be thinking about how much I will miss this class, and how I cant wait to get back up there next year and work with you again! This class is not only the best art class I have ever taken but also the best class in general. I will take all that i have learned from this class and use it in all my future years of art (which will hopefully be many). My freshman year will be remembered as the year I took an amazing art class, with the great Mrs. Roberts! I can't wait till next year when I get to be up there for 2 art classes!!
