Today we met with our AP Art mentors, and my mentor's name is Katelyn Lombardo. She is a senior and she enjoys working with prisma colored pencils and oil paint out of all the mediums she has worked with. Something I think I could benefit from meeting with Katelyn and talking about both of our works and her critiquing mine, is how to take constructive criticism and change my work for the better. From the advice I was given, I am now aware that i should take my time with my pieces, and include as much detail as possible, especially when it comes to value. I learned that I need to include extreme values (making the dark values very dark and the light values very light so the pieces look less flat). And i could definitely work on my blending technique. It was also really cool looking at Katelyn's progression from Art I to AP, and seeing her personal style change and come out through her pieces, it gives me inspiration that with enough hard work and time dedicated to working on art pieces that I can also get better and improve on my art as well.
