Weekly Reflection This past week I learned so much. I learned what commuting to school meant. I had to drive myself 35 minutes each way as opposed to a brief walk three minutes across campus. I learned planning meals to fit into my sessions. I learned that I can focus for four hours when it's on something I really enjoy. Though these tasks still require attention and stamina, I am energized by the topic, I don't feel bored, I feel engaged. I realized that I like both sewing and drawing very much. It is hard to choose one over the other, though they are completely different modalities, that required completely different skill sets. I was reminded that having great teachers (as I do at Proctor) matters. This week gave me a glimpse of what the rest of my year and the next few will look like, and I am excited about that.
Last Weekly Reflection I saw my progress over the last two weeks and I was really impressed with how much I improved from the first day. I definitely made mistakes, but I learned from them. The biggest thing I learned was to take the lessons from my mistakes and use them to correct my mistake the next time. I also discovered that I did not need to be worried about maintaining concentration and focus, it was not going to be a struggle for me. I really enjoyed drawing articles of clothing that are important to me and that holds symbolic weight. I also enjoyed drawing tools of the Garment industry. I enjoyed fully creating something from start to finish.
Sunday, May 14th Today I was working with carrie from 12:00 to 3:30. We worked on my second still life drawing. I drew object that are meaningful to me. Included some of my favorite article of clothing. This drawing was from observation and I was concentrating on working on perspective and making a value scale with lines using marker. I am really enjoying drawing these still life and drawing in general I feel I am improving alot. I am learning to sight proportion with my pencil along with learning crosshatching. hours logged 7 Total hrs 50
