Three Reasons You Can Not Draw
http://willkempartschool.com/the-3-reasons-why-you-cant-draw-and-what-to-do-about-it/
HOMEWORK FOR LIFE DRAWING
Please click on the link above and read what the artist has written; about reasons students do not believe they can draw. Then, write a page or two in response to what you have read.
Do you agree with what the artist is saying? As you read the article, did you feel that what he was saying could apply to your own creative process. Do you agree or disagree to what he said about right and left brain notions while drawing?
The paper is due next Monday and should be type written and double spaced.

Final June 27 between 4:00 and 6:00 pm
In the last day of class I will collect your portfolios and return them to you on the day of the final. Please submit all of the drawings that you did in class as well as your sketchbook so I may grade them.
For your final you are to select two drawings you are particularly pleased with to show to the class. I would also like for you to tell the class why you think they are good drawings, and what you feel that you learned making them. Perhaps it was the first time you had ever worked with the medium of ink or perhaps you felt you learned a great deal about measuring the figure. Each one of you will have a completely different experience in working with the figure.
You will only have no more than five minutes to present your work and talk about it, therefore you might want to practice your presentation before the actual date.
