11/17, feild trip to the mall to see bodies exhibit. It was good to see a cut away of the mucles we have been working on. 

Since mid-term, I have liked that we have covered some of the things I had hoped we were going to cover like the hands and feet. I thought those two body parts were the hardest to draw on the body.

I have liked the longer draws so we have time to relax and take our time getting everything right. At the same time, there gets a point were its too long. For me, after an hour, my attention starts to wander.

I have liked that we started on small paper for the shell drawings and moved bigger.  Drawing big is nice, but the size we used was too big to be hung up in my room or apartment in red ceder, so I had to lay my paper out on a table in our rec room and draw on there.    

The clay on the manikin was a good idea on learning the muscle structure,  but found that part of the class hard.  Looking at the picture and trying to get them right seamed so abstract.

Before this class, I have had a similar class to this. I knew some of what to expect, but not really. I find the class more detailed on certin areas of the body like the rib cage.   I find I have a lot of weaknesses when drawing the body. I have done one drawing of a rib cage that looked good.

I really like have a big block of time in the class to work on drawings. It is also nice that you don’t harass us about having our pencil to the page every single second of time of the drawing.  I find it good to have a break to walk around and see what other peoples’ drawing views, and see how there drawing are coming along.

By the end of the class, I would like to be able to draw what is the hardest parts of the body, like the hands, feet and head. I’ve really never found any good way to draw any of those parts of the body

 

Last week we watch a video on the rib cage. On thursday we did some longer poses of  a 1/2 hour each. This was nice beacuse you can relax and take your time to get the drawing right. Posted here is my drawing of a body part. I  had a hard time going from the contour drawing of the shell to a contour drawing on a person. 

Since this class has stated, we've begun putting clay on our models. The 1st day I found out hat the clay was hard to put on. Over that weekend I went and got some quick-grip clamps to hold the model down while I put clay on it.  Things went alot smother with the model and the quick-grips.   

As we have gotten into this class, I ran in Thomas one day in the printer room. I talked to him for a while and he seams nice this was on the week of Sept 25. I haven't talked to Jenny yet out side of class since I haven't seen her around.  

For the weekend Sept 19/20 we had to do contour drawings of a shell found on a beach. This had to take 3 hours to finish. Mine ended up taking almost a full 3 hours to plan out and finish. I think it looks just ok compared others that we did small group critque with. 

Last week was out first week of life drawing. We had one person to draw from both Tuesday and Thursday. I have had a simalar class before, but this takes a while to get used to. I ran into one of the people we draw from today, and he seams really nice. Also finished my shell drawing this weekend for tomrrow. 

For my first project, I was thinking about a few differnt things relating to science. First was physics in the form of a surfer or snowboarder. The second was chemistry, like a combustion engine cut-away. The third was nature with woods and trees. Fourth was life science of some form. 

Last Thursdays class was intersting. We split up into small groups, and talked. We talked about what art mean to us, and when we've really been into working on a project we've been excited about. We also talked about when we first remember doing art. 

Definition of prectice

Artist skills used to interpet their feelings or what they see using various mediums.  This could be just for own enjoyment of making art or as part of a job. Could also be in the retail side, selling art supplies, or galleries.
