One assignment I can remember I thought I did well on, was when we did outside reading at the beginning of the year. For my book I chose Catcher In The Rye, which is now one of my favorite books after reading it. I can't remember all the assignments that came with it, if there were any besides the Book Talk. I've done tons of other projects that deserve recognition more than this one, but this one was special. I don't think I even got that great of a grade on the book talk, but I think I did okay on it. I'm proud however, that the visual I made for it got on the wall at the back of the classroom. For me, this project was memorable because of the fun I had making the poster. I've always wanted to live in a big city like New York, so when I read the book and put the images from my head onto paper, it made that longing even stronger. Drawing a 1940s New York on a cold December night may seem to some as just a project, but I had a great time with it. I remember the night me and my friend were hanging out, and I worked on it while we talked and ate pizza rolls at two in the morning. Sharing this experience with my friend made it all the more memorable.
Many other projects I've done this year received better grades or (in my opinion) reflected my art skills a little better. But they weren't as memorable, fun or are as fond to me as my Catcher In The Rye poster was.
