first week


I took life drawing to get in my studio art credits.  I have always liked drawing classes so I was looking forward to taking this class know that the human body would be a challenge.  I wish we would have time to make a beautiful finished drawing in class.   However, I understand that we have a lot to account for such as certain muscles and bones and many contour lines to show three dimension.  It would also be hard to finish a drawing since our class only meets for two hours at a time.  One thing that really intimidates me is making the muscle model.  I can’t remember the last time I worked with clay so this part of the class should be interesting.  During our second class period we did multiple gestures of a live model.  It was hard for me to draw the entire body during these short thirty second gestures.  However, because we started with a short amount of time once we started doing two-minute gestures the time seemed so much longer and I was able to concentrate better and get more down on paper.  So far I have learned that the human body is definitely hard to draw.

Introduction


I’m Katye Todd and this is my first life drawing class.  I come from a really small town; my graduating class was twenty-eight.  Growing up I have always liked art so when it came time for me to decide what I wanted to do with my life I choose to go to college for graphic design.  I’m not 100% sure if graphic design is the right major for me, but I know if I’m not a graphic design major I will switch to a different major in art.  As a designer I try to think of new possibilities and am open to new ideas.  I like the thought of doing something different and attempt to have my work look out of the ordinary.
