Above, are two photos of the view from my drawing class, at 9AM. The building in the pictures look out at Smith Hall, the dorm that I live in. Since the Smith Hall building is an asymmetrical triangle, from the drawing-classroom, Smith Hall appears larger than it really is.
I enjoy mornings. Since all of my classes are morning classes, I wake up when the city begins to wake up, and before the sun is high. I have a cup of coffee with breakfast every morning, and look outside at the school (the North/East-building [I'm not sure what it's really called] is the older part of the school), and at the few trees that are by the building. Every few minutes, there is the sound of the T-stop (train stop) directly in front of my dorm, and the sounds of cars in traffic.
Last Wednesday, I turned in my Drawing homework assignment, to draw the: right hand, left foot, and right foot, five drawings per extremity, drawing with the left-hand (I'm right-handed), without looking the paper, and spend 30-minutes per drawing.
I was only able to spend 10-20 minutes per drawing, and when I met with my advisor (about scheduling), I talked to him about this assignment.
When I turned my drawing in on Wednesday, I was the only student who did the right (who understood the assignment).
The lesson of this assignment was the following:
To practice intense focus
To sync your eye-movement to hand-movement
To loose the "ego" of trying to draw a recognizable hand/foot
It sounds to me like you're in the right place.
ReplyDeleteIt does'nt surprise me that you got the assignment right.
ReplyDeleteIt was mentally very difficult for me to do this assignment. When I was doing the project, I thought that I was doing it wrong, and that it was pretty stressful.
DeleteI usually assume that I'll do the (any) assignment wrong, so I have lower expectations, in a way
