Initially it was compulsory as a subject. It was called visual arts. Other than school, there are many parents who focus on extra-curricular activities while upbringing their children and my parents are one of them so they enrolled me in an arts class. It&#8217;s not like I didn&#8217;t enjoy and was doing it forcefully, arts was always fun and still is but I always did it for fun. I never focused much on enhancing my skills as an artist. This experience was about me improving my artistic skills in terms of sketching and painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LO1: A strength by default was that I have artistic parents and my mother is excellent when it comes to painting. My father is more of a sketch artist. So having both of them under the same roof was an advantage. I could ask for their help whenever I needed it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LO2: Doing things solely out of passion and for having fun is easy but when it comes to perfecting a form of art, it&#8217;s not a cakewalk. Most kids indulge in painting or sketching somehow at some point of time, either because of their school or interest. I was one of them. Was always interested but only used to do it to find a smile on my face. But then I wanted to learn the skills that are needed to make a good artwork. The lack of practice lead me to failed results, my paintings and sketches didn&#8217;t turn out to be that well in the beginning. Starting over from scratch was challenging. I couldn&#8217;t draw definite figures or compositions  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LO5: Acquiring a good understanding of the palette was crucial for the painting project I was working on. Different shades can make a portrait look more lifelike. Tints are created by mixing a color with white to make it lighter, such as when black is mixed with white to form grey. On the other hand, darker shades are created by mixing a color with black. Improving my knowledge of the colour palette can enhance the visual impact of my paintings, making them appear more realistic and visually appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LO7: When creating my art, I was aware of the significance of personal and cultural expression. In art, expression is often conveyed without words and is used as a means of communication. To avoid causing any controversy or conflict, I made sure that my artwork was neutral and did not offend any particular group or individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9488-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9488-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9488-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9488-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9488-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9488-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"913\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9498-913x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9498-913x1024.jpg 913w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9498-268x300.jpg 268w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9498-768x861.jpg 768w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9498-1370x1536.jpg 1370w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9498-1826x2048.jpg 1826w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9500-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9500-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9500-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9500-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9500-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9500-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"836\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9494-1-1024x836.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9494-1-1024x836.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9494-1-300x245.jpg 300w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9494-1-768x627.jpg 768w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9494-1-1536x1253.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9494-1-2048x1671.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9524-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9524-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9524-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9524-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9524-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/IMG_9524-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drawing, sketching, and painting are something I have been doing since I was at a very young age.
