This week seemed to go by pretty fast which is strange because I feel like this week was filled with a whole lot of hustle and bustle. I've been working pretty diligently on a project for my sculpture class that I will hopefully be finishing up soon, and by soon I mean that hopefully I will have it finished by Monday. I'm surprised that Lars hasn't killed me yet because I really test his patience with due dates and the mess of the ideation process... Life is infinitely strange. I believe that I'm going to be concentrating in sculpture, and I hope that I've got that all figured out now... It's funny how one minute we will be entirely convinced that we are doing everything that we want to do in life and then the next minute it changes. Now off to another grand topic. This week in life drawing we have been working on the muscles that make up the shoulder as well as a few on the back, and I have found this quite difficult because I feel that no matter how many times they get explained to me I still find myself standing at my easel without the slightest clue as to what to do. I've been trying to improve my drawings based off of how I drew last year and I don't really think that it's going too well because I'm still outlining just as much as I did back then. Bob gave me trouble for that all of last year and I thought that I finally was improving but apparently that was all in my head because Amy mentioned to me that that is an area that needs a great deal of improvement. Have any of you guys ever seen something from a certain viewpoint and no matter what you do there is no changing that and then all of a sudden something hits you out of nowhere and you realize that things aren't just black and white. Sometimes there is a mix of gray... Unfortunately my camera and my outlets on the side of my computer are broken so I can't get any pictures for you at this time
yeah this week has been a pretty busy week for me too. Over break I was not productive at all and now I'm paying that price. Perhaps next time you can incorporate an image of your drawings. It would help us see your progression in the class.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell if you think realizing something is gray is good or bad... you come off as pretty open minded (as in not often looking at things as black or white) and I'm really curious as to where that thought came from. So you better tell me tomorrow during class.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me feel better to know I'm not the only one having trouble with the shoulder muscles. Maybe we can ask Amy if we can watch that creepy demonstration of how our model moved her shoulders and we saw all the bones/muscles again. Maybe that will help us now that we've practiced it a little.
