Two of my Favorite In class drawings using only lines or dots. Motion and Movement
The in class exercises consisted of ideas surrounding movement and interruption.The homework assignment was to demonstrate symmetry. To create an object symbolizing movement and interruption with just the paper you have in front of you and a pencil using only dots or lines, seemed difficult for me at first. But then when you think about it the possibilities are endless. There are many options, with the use of line depth, darkness, shape and length anything can be done with a little thought; it’s just about discovering the design then following through with the idea at hand.

I found these exercises to be a little frustrating especially the blind contour work. The purpose of this exercise was to show us how line depth differs. The deeper the line the darker it appears; softer lines are lighter. The further away an object, the lighter the line, closer objects are emphasized in a drawing, by making them darker. This was the purpose of the perspective homework given to us by Teresa. I enjoyed this exercise a lot more than the in class exercise because it was partial blind contour. Some of my blind contours did not even resemble the object I was trying to depict. Nevertheless it was a learning experience!
