Last DMA Blog Post!

I remember first taking Intro to DMA as freshman and immediately knowing that I wanted to take that class forever. I couldn't wait to take DMA I. And then I couldn't wait to take AP. And now that I'm at the end of all of it, it's hard to count the ways that DMA has shaped my life. I remember liking DMA because it was art that I couldn't do. Other art classes like drawing or painting used skills I had already been practicing, but I had never done anything like DMA. It was beyond challenging, as I am terrible with computers, but that's what made it so appealing. On top of that Mrs. Shields and Mrs.Barnes made their classes challenging to pass. In other art classes, I could float through, make a couple pieces, get a 98% and head home. With DMA I had to fight to get the grades I wanted. It was art that pushed me, and I loved it so, so much.

In the fall I am attending the Honors Tutorial College at OU to study Production Design and Technology. I hope to continue making art and learning new skills.

Currently my favorite SI piece is my newest one. It's made to reflect Coronavirus. Wash your hands! The quote on the hands and arms were taken from news articles about the pandemic.
