Final Reflection
Over the semester I have gained so much knowledge through this class. Through the process of observation, I learned how to truly observe planar structure. After many hours of practice and finding how the form moves through space I was able to understand how to show a three dimensional object on a two dimensional surface. I felt that after many hours of conversation with my instructor I was able to understand so much more about the human form. It became so interesting to learn how each part of the face/skull, cranium, and the whole skeleton work in space. It becomes a hard challenge to convey these forms and constantly presents a battle for me to perfect a drawing of each piece.
I found that through this process in the semester my drawings became very personalized. I tried to make each piece represent my mark making technique. This becomes a very important part of my drawings, bringing a unique mark that resembles my thinking/observation process. It becomes a signature to myself, presenting my personality. My drawings each being different all have a certain aspects that make each one feel as if they are mine ( I hope anyway).
During this course I found that I worked toward finding my mark with a more developed drawing style. I added value to my drawings but not through simple observation, but by adding my own light source. I used marks to represent value rather than just seamless gradient, and these mark seemed to make a much more educated drawing that showed planar structure. The light that was added by my own knowledge, making it much more translatable to all other form of my art work. This makes a huge impact on my drawings and how I make my forms work in space. So over the course of this semester my knowledge level has grown exponentially and will transfer into all of my other future artwork.
