I'm not one hundred percent sure that I really remember how this week went and that's not because I wasn't present just maybe because it was a short week... On Monday we worked on our hand drawings and I found that I quite enjoyed them which is pretty good because I haven't really found anything in particular that I've enjoyed drawing in this class. In a way I think that is sad to say because I'm supposed to be a Studio art major and here I am struggling with what should be the most simple concept to grasp... maybe it's the human figure that stresses me out but I also think that it might have something to do with how I have knowledge of the time restraint, and I'm the type of person who can get really stressed out in timed situations. At the same time that I say that I also think about how I could just be making up excuses for myself; I don't have to be good at everything if I'm a Studio Art major... My concentration isn't life drawing anyways. Okay, so getting back to business, on Wednesday we drew skulls and I am finding those to be one, if not the most complicated things that we have worked on and I think that it has a lot to do with the proportions and putting all of the individual pieces together. So now that we are finally boiling down to the end of the semester I have realized how just about everything has crept up really fast and I'm gonna be spending most of these last few weeks in the library, picking up where I should've left off.
Your hand looks great! Those are some quality phalanges if I do say so myself. I'm glad you enjoy hands, maybe that's something you'll really be able to get out of this class if you feel like you're struggling with other factors of the class.
ReplyDeleteI think you just have a different mind set than a life drawer. You're a sculpture concentration, so don't you like the idea behind your art? Like doesn't that play a big role in your artistic process? I feel like with this class its more about the immediate product than the work behind it, so maybe that's kind of a wall between you and this class becoming one of your favorites. I could just be making things up, but it made sense to me.
PS. See you in the library. Thinking about making a fort and just settling in for the next two weeks.
