Too long have I stayed in the comfort of my haven of colored pencils and graphite, and coming into Art 3, I had yet to pick up a paintbrush or mold clay. This year, I have learned much, but the topics that have stuck with me most and that I hope to carry on in the future include gesture art and oil painting. I've always struggled with capturing movement and proportion in my...]]></description><link>https://gracezhangg8887.wixsite.com/my-site-1/post/final-art-3-reflection</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a0b19fe2fd8b3b696965266</guid><pubDate>Mon, 18 May 2026 14:27:25 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Grace Zhang</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Awareness Blog post ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Still Life With Apples 1894, Paul Cezanne The Basket of Apples 1893, Paul Cezanne I reacted to the work of Paul Cezanne.

The tools we used were also unfamiliar, but I got more comfortable with them with time. Creating the eyes was the most difficult part of the face. It was hard to capture the eye shape, amount of pupil space, and proportion.
