Okay, so I got my final piece for Art 101 critiqued, and I'd still like to do a little bit more work on it before I put it up, but that work requires some spray fixative before I can be condifident that the work won't smear, so it may be awhile before anybody sees my final piece.

In the meantime, reflecting on my artistic skills, I think that Art 101 helped them a LOT. I've always known I had artistic talent, but now I feel like I've sharpened that talent into a little bit of skill...when I take Art 102, we'll see where I go from there, but all in all, I have to say that it feels exciting to see where I've come in just 1 semester! You guys will agree when you see my final piece, for sure
