Assignment was to draw dried citrus rounds...
A depiction of five of my favorite wands...
My first charcoal still life...
... then I branched out...
I was determined to capture light and depth with just black and white grayscale...
I wanted to explore what I could do...
... and then I collected all my valuables and sketched them.
... the last two assignments I chose to do in pen - an almost self portrait of an American Girl Doll and a "Story Quilt" of many influential places and pieces of art.
During my first semester at INDIANA UNIVERSITY SOUTH BEND I TOOK FUNDAMENTAL DRAWING WITH KATHERINE CORPE. I LOOKED FORWARD TO CLASS EVERY DAY AS STUDIO TIME WAS THE Most enjoyable PART OF MY WEEK. I WAS ALWAYS ASKING MY PROFESSOR FOR ADVICE AND FEEDBACK AND SHE REALLY HELPED ME GROW AS AN ARTIST AND AS A PERSON. I ENJOYED OUR PEER REVIEWS/Critiques AND ALL THE Input the other students gave me on my artwork. It was also really wonderful to see all the diverse pieces my peers created. I was inspired by all their individuality and creativity and it encouraged me to push myself to do better work. Altogether it was my favorite class of the semester and I’m so looking forward to more studio time.
