Today I met with Amber. She is a sophomore art education major. She shared pictures of her work with me and I was amazed at the things she created. I was not astonished because I doubted her ability to create amazing work, but because what she showed me was so beautiful and original. She has a solid theme in her head and creates remarkable art pieces. Amber is a very talented student and I am honored she chose to share her work with me.
Amber does a lot of work that has to do with the human life and its relation to nature. One thing she mentioned was that she likes to emphasize how humans and nature are such delicate things and similar events affect both. One cannot be fully embraced without the other, yet they have both been known to degenerate the other. Amber has a very unique way of creating some of her pieces that revolve around this theme. Her photos and projects speak volume about her talents and her interests.
Some of her other works are done in watercolor and charcoal. These creations involve sound and color correspondence. Most of her work is created through emotion. Amber’s work is typically motivated by the feelings she gets from music or poetry.
Meeting with Amber today showed me a lot about whom she is. Sharing your work with an older classmate can sometimes be scary or intimidating but after seeing Amber’s work, I do not believe she has a reason to feel shy about displaying it. I very much enjoyed talking to Amber and seeing her creations and I have a strong feeling that the class will enjoy them too.
