Reflections

So far, I think this new project has been pretty difficult. I decided to use a stapler as my hand tool. With such a complex object, I'm curious as to how I'll develop all of these different styles of presenting it. It has been hard so far, but fun. In class, it kind of gets old drawing the same thing over and over again for each representation, but I know the final outcome will be really rewarding. I need to stay focused and try to let my creativity flow. This project is really revolved around that because it allows you to really do whatever you want within the guidelines of each parameter. I love the idea and goal of this activity and I can't wait to see what kind of drawings/styles/representations I can come up with and develop further. It has really helped looking at other students work too. Yesterday, we looked through the sophomore's work because they're doing the same project but with animals. Although they are a little farther along in the project, I was shocked to see how amazing they all were! I really opened up my eyes to the potential that I have and gave me more insight as to what other ideas and techniques I could use. I think viewing other student work is a great way to let my mind flourish and get some more ideas running through. I'm excited to see where these next few days of sketching take me....
