I have been looking forward to be able to take this class since I heard about it freshmen year. I have always enjoyed drawing and painting. I also feel like I have a good grasp of forms, and space. As much as I have enjoyed drawing still lives, perspective, and abstract, I am thrilled that I will get a semester to help me with human form. It's something that I have not been spending my time on because I do find the human body an intimidating subject to draw. I can already tell that with the first two days of quick drawings, that I am going to improve as an artist thanks to this class.
Our first day of drawing was really refreshing. We were handed beautiful sea shells to draw. At first getting shells seemed kind of random. It helped me get familiar with observing the subject, and helping me with my line pressure. This is a technique I will be applying to drawing models. I hope the more I play with line, the more naturally it will come to me. It was also really nice to see what the other class mates were doing, and how their drawing styles are.
Just recently in class we were getting a lectured on the importance of the spinal column and rib cage. Both were great basics to learn about and also made a great starting point to the human form. It was extremely interesting to learn about the functions and importance of the spinal column. Like I stated before, I feel like my drawing skills will improve this semester and I hope I can take what I learn from this semester, and continue to play around with the human form and adapt my own style.
