Figure Drawing

On the day when we were learning about "Figure Drawing", it was all based on proportions. We had to learn how to measure the figure by breaking it up into smaller bits.

Even though it's three weeks into the course, I wrote this at the beginning. My thoughts about art. My definition of art is thoughts, emotions, and dreams all splattered onto a piece of paper. I believe its a way people express themselves with colors and different patterns and dimensions. I feel that my question is legitimate because, it expresses peoples feelings, thoughts, dreams, and emotions all on one piece of paper, which they call "art". The three materials and techniques I have never used are clay, mod pudge, and print making. I am not quite sure what my strengths such as work skills, interest, and my abilities are as an artist because, I haven't been in an art course for about three or four years. I only remember one assignment I did and it was a sketch of a donut turning into Homer Simpson. I found it quite neat and I thought it was the greatest sketch I've ever done. Although there is one thing I find difficult to do in school, which is to stay focused. Teachers and due dates make me feel nervous, people make me mad and I wish I was somewhere else. Anywhere but, here.
