Today you drew some fabric hanging in the middle of the room.
You were asked to think about creating the feeling of the fabric's weight and behavior in your drawing.
You were asked to build the drawing from the general to the specific.
How did it go?
How did it feel to try to recreate the fabric you saw?
How did today's drawing feel different than last week's drawing of the sticks?

Principles of Design Research
Today you spent some time looking at a work of art.
In a post on your blog note what the work of art was that you looked at and who made it.
Then, answer the following question:
In what ways did the artist's use of The Principles of Design support the story or message of the work?
ALL FOUR of these words should be in your post: BALANCE, EMPHASIS, MOVEMENT, PROPORTION.
AT LEAST THREE of the the following words should be in your post: SYMMETRY, ASYMMETRY, CONTRAST, PLACEMENT, GROUPING, REPETITION, LEADING LINES, IMPLIED MOVEMENT.

Mid-term Reflection (due Sunday, October 17, at noon).
We are halfway through the first term of the course. Take some time to write on your blog about how you think you're doing and how the class has been so far for you. Be specific in describing what you think your strengths are and most importantly, what you think you need to work on in the second half of the term using the four categories below as a guide.
1.
Engagement: your approach to your work (check the "What engagement looks like in the studio" document on the class site if you need help with this).
2.
In-class projects: the works of art you've finished up to this point.
3.
Sketchbook: the work you're doing outside of class.
4.
Drop everything and draw: drawing from observation on Tuesdays.
