From high school to college

My identity as a student has not changed much in the past few years. I suppose I've learned more about the world and the people in it, but I am still largely the the same student as I was in high school. Although I have not changed much as a student, my artwork has changed. I did a lot of drawings in high school because I was semi decent at it. I also went to a small school, so I did not have some of the advantages, such as equipment, as larger schools might have had. I did not experiment or try new techniques with my art. When I became a college student, that all changed. I was given assignments that allowed me to work with material I had never worked with before. I became aware that art is everywhere and is a part of everything I do. I stopped drawing from pictures taken with a camera and started working in the moment. I worked with new mediums, experimented with materials, and learned new techniques. All of this advanced my knowledge and enabled me to create art work that was more meaningful to me.
