(d) I took a painting class to explore the ways I can take my creativity and express it  onto different
mediums . Canvas and paint is the medium I explored through this class, the two mediums that are usually identified as art.
For Fashion Club it has been a place of self expression and opportunity to expand ones creativity.

Description of my professor's view on art and expression.

 Here is a mural that was made out of stencils and spray paint. It can be found in the art department second story. This isn't the final product but the in between process.

Final Piece

Over all in this class I learned new ways to paint and express my creativity. I got to experience how it is to work with a large group of people on one project and how to combine different ideas to create a bigger and better idea.

Fashion Club :

Notebook where we keep all our ideas and information .

In Fashion Club I am learning how to help people show their individuality and finding new ways to express themselves though their clothing. We are learning the ways the industry works and how the different aspects relate to the things we see in our lives.

Applied

My component allowed me to dive into the ways one can express oneself. As I have stated before in my presentations self expression is a big part of art , 

As I was taking my painting class my professor talked a lot about, feeling instead of thinking. To use our feelings to create something that is beautiful in our eyes rather than something that you think will please others. This is a trait I find in many great artists, which allows them be the best at what they do.Through the painting class I got to show how paint can portray my feelings and creativity meanwhile having  fun.

Fashion Club has taught me the way people view clothes and what it means to them. For example in our first meeting we talked about the way we portrayed ourselves through our clothes and what kinds of categories we felt we fit in the different trends we see.  

This all helped me realize that no matter if it is painting or clothing self expression is a big part of our lives. And art is just a representation of our lives.
