Week 10

What I did:

 I fixed my hand drawing to be more proportional and have better perspective. I started to do my first “re-drawing” of the hand that will create the moving sensation. It was a lot of work for little pay off, so I went into a new direction. I focused on a simple sphere form and conducted 10 small experiments working with highlight, shadows, transparency, moralization, looping effects, single moving entities, and a compilations of each. I started my powerpoint for the presentation and have written and rewritten explanations and descriptions of what I will say during the presentation.

What I accomplished/ discovered/ encountered: 

I have learned that I have a really hard time staying on task and staying motivated though this process. My academic classes are taking a lot of my energy and time and I find that I don't have much left over for my art and for exploration. I just can't wait until my creative writing class is over. It is all busy work- I send 7 hours having to critique other peoples writing, not focusing on my own growth and practice. I am really irritated by it. ---back to IP--- I really enjoyed dissecting my process and doing experiments with my drawings through simple forms. It has given me a way to find solutions to move forward with out much commitment. I think the commitment part of this process has been the most debilitating of them all. I wish I started doing this experiments a lot sooner so that I could be on my way to producing actual stuff that will go into the show. But as I continue, my thoughts and experiences change with every new thing I do.

What is next:

I am going to continue doing experiments with my drawings with a focus on light, and movement.

I am looking forward to a new semester.
