Second day

I can't believe it's only Tuesday! I feel like I've been here for weeks. Today was really fun and I feel more comfortable in my drawing skills which is something I didn't except from myself. In Franks class we continued to work on our projects. We went out to our location and collected artifacts, made rubbings and sketches and also took some photographs. When we got back we plotted all of our ideas and thoughts about our location on a type of map that I forget the name of. In Paul's class we did fast motion moving sketches of a nude male model. I've never done an art class but I didn't feel completely incompetent. Paul reminded us that it wasn't suppose to be Michael Angelo which just reminded me that I was there to learn how to draw not to show off my skills or impress anyone. I learned a lot about drawing and different ways to make the drawing accurately plotted which is something I struggle with. I also learned a lot more about my peers and myself as an individual. When you step outside of your life at home and all your usual habits, you start to see the person you are more clearly and your able to differentiate who you are at home with the morals your given from your parents and the pressures from your society, than who you truly are. I believe I'll begin to find more and more of the person I am in this next month.
