Chair With Coat.

Today in class we had to draw a chair with a coat on it. It looked very easy when I first looked at it, but actually it is very difficult. Most of the time my hand was very tense and I kept think in my mind chair, chair, chair or coat, coat, coat. This activity was different than the other because you needed to make straight lines and loose lines. It was like the fabric and the sticks drawing combined. I tried to look a lot at the object more than my paper and really thought which lines go were and were it should flow or straight.

Fabric Drawings.

Today in class we drew a sculpture of fabric. It went okay, I kept erasing my drawings and starting over. It was very hard getting the shape for me and making it flow. It took me a while to really get used to drawing the fabric. I think my end result turned out to be good, a lot better than I thought. This drawing was a lot harder than drawing the sticks because you needed to use movement in it and a lot more shading.

I thought this activity went really well. In the beginning I was really nervous and I did not even know were to start, but when Ms. Roberts said to calm down I just took a deep breath and started to draw what I see. After I just did the bases of the shape I started to be more detailed and that is when it came to life. I tried to put a lot of detail in the middle of it and used many different shades of pencils. It felt so cool drawing this because every detail you put in on the sticks it makes it look more and more realistic. I really loved the outcome of my project, I think it is great and am really happy with it.

Talk and Draw

I really liked this activity today, I thought it was really fun. It was definitely hard having to describe the different shapes and having to be so detailed. For example when I was trying to explain to my partner how to draw this 3D triangle block she did not know what I was talking about and that at the end it was an ice cream cone. The most challenging part was not being able to tell my partner what object to draw and when I was drawing I always had the urge to look behind me. If I did this activity again I would probably try to be more detailed in how I describe the objects.
