As I looked through the Drawing From Life pages that we had to read I was focused on observation. It makes sense because the chapter is called Observation, but I digress. It seems interesting to me the different ways that people observe things and the purpose of observation for artists. In most of the observations ive done ive been focused on trying to recreate the way things actually look and im just starting to come around to the idea of capturing the ideas and things that make you think of the object, which makes me have to try harder. I think that this is the point to this section in the book, really looking at things in order to understand them as best you can.

I just want to say Mel Chin rocks!!!!!!!! I hope everyone got a chance to hear him today. He is an awesome inspiration to any artist/human being who wants to make the world better. Maybe Monika will consider showing his movie in class sometime. ann
