Midterm Reflection
Overall, I feel I have been doing pretty well in drawing class. I have for the most part been engaged each day in class and able to get my work done. Every now and again I can sometimes get a little distracted during class. I feel that my process is pretty good when I am doing my work. I am good at planning out my ideas for projects and assignments in my sketchbook before I start the actual project. I tend to draw pictures and practice drawing my idea out my sketch before I start the actual assignment. My product in this class overall has been pretty good. I have not finished all of the assignments yet but, my projects have been looking good and the end results have been turning out pretty well. I have found the sketchbook to be a helpful tool to use in class. It is a good place for me to draw out my ideas and thoughts. For the assignments in my sketchbook I have done a good job keeping up with them and doing what is asked of me. However I might be able to improve if I possible tried new materials or by simply diving in and not worrying about the outcome of my drawings as much.
In this class I am not that fond of drawing from observation. For me sometimes it can be hard to look at something and than try and draw it to scale on paper. Drawing myself was challenging for me because you had to be careful you drew the different parts of your body in the right spot on your paper.
Drawing and painting are valuable methods for making an image. They can sometimes give you a sense to how an image is made and the process that it takes to make a painting or a drawing and how much work it might take to make one.
One project I have been working on is my Windows and Door. In this project I have been focusing my idea of a hallway and a shadow of someone in the door way. I have been paying close attention to the color and the lighting in my drawing. I wanted to have a shadow of a person in the door way looking down a dark hallway. I am making the door way bright by drying in a lightbulb on the ceiling. I wanted to make the door way bright but at the same time I was just having a shadow of a person in the doorway.
