“Chapter 7 – The Academic World” Dakota Galkowski, Watercolor and Marker on Paper, 2017. “Initially, nothing really stood out to me from the chapter. But, with some inspiration from my brother, I decided to made my artwork based on the statement in the chapter that university art programs are often too impersonal to the art student. I then decided to draw something personal to me and practice skills that I wanted to learn. I drew a dragon because I think that dragons are cool, and then practiced my coloring skills. I used color scheme, and tried to incorporate gradients, which I think could have turned out better. I added stars to fill up some of the empty space.” – Dakota Galkowski
