“If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.” –JFK, Amherst College Address (Oct 26, 1963)

Silly Silly people.
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.
