Drawing the Human Figure from the Inside Out.

Today's goals were to think about proportion when drawing someone. You also want to draw from the perspective that you are at and not what your mind tells you. I thought that today, this activity was challenging and interesting. It really made the drawings much easier when you kept going and didn't stop to take a moment and think about it. I think on my first picture I was just starting to work on the perspective thing, but the second one I really got it. Overall, I like drawing people more than I have before.

Shades of Gray

Today in class, I really liked this drawing activity. I liked it a lot because we got to use many different drawing utensils. I really liked how we got to use the different type of charcoal. Overall, I was not so much satisfied but not mad at my work. I think that the proportions of my picture don't make much sense. Overall, I also liked working with the background and then you got to erase. Also, it was MUCH easier to erase on the different paper. I hope we do this again!!

What's In the Sack

The goals for today were to work from very vague structures then go into detail, to use light and dark verses each other, and to practice your drawing skills. I think I did okay with achieving these goals. I think that this was a very difficult project for me because I am not someone who really likes to draw. I say that I did complete the goal, but also could have enhanced my performance with the goals. For my process, I just sort of started to draw and tried not to stop. Exciting and very difficult exercise.

The Changing Still Life

Today we did the drawing activity called The Changing Still Life. I think that this was a very hard thing to do. Three things I thought to think about was looking at the drawing constantly because Ms. Roberts was always changing it. I had to be able to want to change...I have to admitt that I like my drawing in some stages but then another element came up. And the last thing I had to do was really focus on detail. One thing I want to do better is only draw from my point of view...I sort of just drew the picture as a whole and not exactly from my perspective.
