What stands out most to you about the overall Icons project? Why?

It stood out to me how all the people in our class had a different icon. We never, as a class, had a problem because a lot of people were doing the same icon or were talking about exactly the same thing. Everyone had their own personal definition of an icon and everyone had different ideas for their own project. This stood out to me because even though we are all similar in some ways we still like way different things and think way differently. Also, we all took the project we were given and took it in different directions.

How do you feel about the experience and your work now that the project is nearly complete?

I felt like this was a pretty good project where I learned a little more about everyone and I even learned a little more about myself and the important people in my life. I felt accomplished when I read my artist statement for the last time and when I picked the final picture to use in my project. It felt good to have written my artist statement and after a long process of drafting and revision finally looking at your paper and feeling accomplished.

What are your thoughts as we get closer to publishing our first book?

I think the book will turn out really good because everyone had very nice, creative and interesting pictures and also very good artist statements. I am excited to see how the book turns out and I am looking forward to looking at my classmates' work.
