Progress Post #5 - October 19, 201810/20/2018 This week, we started working on figure drawings with artist Tommy Van Auken! I have been trying to employ searching lines in my everyday drawings, but it's difficult as I often think in contour. I really like working with real life models as it brings a sort of livelihood into drawing. I am pretty satisfied with most of my figure drawings although I kind of hate all of my 1 minute ones as they are very unpolished and some of them are just intelligible. I've discovered that I like doing my searching lines in conte and then drawing my contours with charcoal as it provides a really nice contrast and emphasizes the figure I am trying to convey. I look forward to learning more and practicing more figured drawings. In terms of my home project, I have mapped out what I want to do (and found a purpose for my work) and downloaded all of my reference photos as well as painted the white base on my polo shirt. I plan on sketching and starting to paint tomorrow afternoon because I have finished all of my homework. I need to work out what I want to embroider on the front of the shirt however. I am thinking either a globe or an article of clothing. I am very excited to start this project and am thinking of doing a sort of performance art aspect to it where I wear it around school for a day.
