I feel like this term was very rushed and would love to actually wish is was a semester based class, but that may just be me. I appreciate the laughter and easy going personalities of Miles and Warren and appreciate the photography that journalism that Dennis brought to the class. I did learn a lot and know enough to know that I don't know enough about the digital world, it is ever progressing and changing. I would love to come back and do more work with my art and include the pieces into the digital art world.
I know I have my difficulties but feel as though I have learned so much and am proud of my work.

My Great Grandmother was full blooded Indian and even though I was very young I remember how uncomfortable she appeared around some of my grandfather's own siblings. I didn't understand the racist remarks then but I knew something was terribly wrong with how my grandmother was talked to just by the tone of voice people used. I made me cry and hang on her leg.

I have had a weight problem most of my life and it has been a problem. I have an eating disorder. I am an over eater. I don't throw up or starve myself but I over eat all the unhealthy junk because it's usually faster and cost less..that adds to the reasons for the obesity...I look in the mirror and wonder who that woman is because I don't feel like I look I feel like this woman..free and comfortable in my own skin.

These Drawings were not only a good exercise but were a stress reduction. I like adding the simple background colors and text to just add a little extra something to the piece.
