So far this summer, I have looked into the way artists observe around them and began practicing drawing the things that I observe. The first assignment of the summer was to create a mind map of the things that I think artists observe. My list including things like colors and textures but after watching the videos included in the slide I discovered them may take into account of the emotions of real people as well. To try out drawing what I observe, I completed the timed sketching exercises. This exercise showing figures for a certain amount of time and I was only allotted a couple of minutes or seconds for each. Though difficult, it taught me to draw the shapes that I saw rather than the entire picture. Also, I found with more time I could spend time on the values I saw and make the drawing look like the real picture. Lastly, I began drawing the shaded sphere however I have not finished yet. This exercise teaches how to hold the pencil when shade and the different amount of pressure that you have to put on it to make a darker or lighter mark. I don't think the gradient in my sphere is smooth enough so I would like to perfect that and also add the shadow that the sphere is casting.
