I am very excited about drawing class. I have a lot of expectations. I want to really ground my skills in this subject in any way possible. I would say that I am disappointed that we will only be doing still life- but it initself is also quite an engaging subject. One that is barely touched on in the mass of things. Despite this I am willing and hoping to learn everything available.
During the exercise it was very difficult to hold my attention. I did my best to try and make compositions that would be interesting. Usually however I tried to use the line widths to my advantage. I want there to be a balance where there is not too many and not too few. From what I gathered at the first class there is more of an interest to experiment with the line-work we use and probably get used to drawing said lines. Perspective will be a more interesting subject I feel. Generally it is easy, but from what I hear about really learning perspective is that it is difficult and definitely beneficial. Shear confidence in the area and plain will make me draw better it seems. Well, so far I'm anticipating a good year.
I'm also excited that we can life draw in our sketchbooks; if only to drill ourselves on what we have learned in class.
