Reaction to Drawing From Life - Emily Ritter

My favorite section is the one about Martin Wilner. I love the parts about how what he draws is how his mind processes visual data. The time limits he has on the subway ties into our class time limits. You end up emphasizing on what your mind chooses to. 

Overall, what I got from the sections is that journals are important to everyone, no matter what occupation. Also, no matter what occupation, each journal can be considered art. Journals are a way of recording life and how each individual sees, or imagines it.
