When I first started drawing class, I really didn't like it and I didn't like that we had homework, but drawing class taught me a lot of new techniques and helped me a lot with improving my skill. When I first started drawing my drawing skills weren't that great and with all the practices and projects we did they improved a lot. Two of my favorite pieces were made in this class, my two favorite were the chick-fil-a french fries and the jar of pickles. These were both done with prisma and I love the way they turned out. I've grown a lot with prisma and I think that's one of the reason I enjoyed drawing was because I got to learn how to use prismas the right way. I also learned how to draw portraits which I've never done before and that was interesting but I grew a lot and learned how to do each part of the face separately. Walking into drawing I only took it because I wanted to get out of Interior design, I was really busy a lot of the time cause during this class I also had Art 4 so I had lots of projects going on at the same time but it ended up being fine and I enjoyed both classes. I met some new people I normally wouldn't talked to, and I loved sitting at my table because I could talk to them and still get things done at the same time. In drawing I didn't like working with charcoal and graphite but I loved working with prismas, In the class next time I would give more prisma options because I really enjoyed them and wish I could have done other pieces in prismas. The first highlight drawing we did was a ribbon drawing this was when I learned that I didn't like drawing highlights instead of values. We did the fabric drawing next, and I personally think I was terrible at it, to me it doesn't look like fabric but it was a learning process. Next was still life, I liked my still life before I made it darker and the pinwheel is my favorite about it, but it helped me learn how to shade everything properly. After still life was foreshortening, this was one of my absolute favorite pieces, I loved working with prismas and I love how this piece turned out and I thought it wouldn't be as good as it was. After foreshortening it was opacity, for this I drew a jar of pickles also in prismas and also loved this piece, the glass and background turned out so much better than I expected and and I learned how to properly draw glass. Next was self portrait, this I really didn't like I think part of it was the picture I had and I also switched between charcoal and graphite a little too much, I liked the one I did in oil much better. After was scratchboard and I liked it but I wish some areas were better. Overall I grew so much from when I first started to now and I'm really proud of myself for how much I've grown and I've also learned what mediums I like to work in.
