Hand Drawing


1. What was it like using your hand as subject matter for a drawing?
It was very interesting to use my hand as the subject matter for this drawing. I was not sure if my drawing would end up looking like my hands but it was fun to add the small details of my fingers to the drawings.
2. What media did you select - pencil or charcoal? Why?
I chose to use a pencil just because it would be less messier than using charcoal. 
3. How did it feel to create a drawing with your non-dominant hand?
It was weird to use my dominant hand, it began to bother me just because it took longer than it did when using my dominant hand, but it was interesting to see the outcome and how it did not came out as bad as I predicted it to come out. 
4. Compare and contrast your final drawings. Do you think they are successful studies?
I think my final drawings are successful. I had predicted them to come out not looking like my hands but I feel like they look very much just like hands to me. 
5. Would you consider using your non-dominant hand to create artwork in the future?
 I would not consider using my non-dominant hand to create artwork in the future just because I feel like it is too time consuming, and it does not allow for representation of good detail in the artwork.

Modules 7's video reviews

In the prairie school clip, one of the key concepts that I learned was about architecture becoming a style. This was something that became natural to society, and this is what made it a style.

This means that it becomes something that is used in the everyday life. The videos relate to the readings in the text because in the text the history of architecture and how the structures of buildings, and designing came about. In my opinions I think these films were very informative and they were able to explain to viewers more in-depth about architecture, and the background behind it. I loved it because construction interests me so I love learning more about those things. I chose the films that I watched by random selection. I didn’t know what exactly they would be about but I am glad I picked the ones that I did because t...

Fun Art Gallery visit!

I recently visited the Albright-Knox art gallery located in Buffalo, New York. While visiting I saw a lot of very different creative pieces of art. Some that intrigued my to learn more, some that told a story, some that were difficult to understand, but overall it was a great time. There are some amazing artists featured in this gallery, and all of the works of art were beautiful to look at, and try to understand. The first work of art that made an impression on me was Frida Kahlo's self-portrait with monkey (1938).  Frida Kahlo's Self-portrait with monkey (1938) From seeing this portrait I learned a lot about Frida. This specific piece of art impacted me because she had gone through many life threatening accidents, and she resulted to painting to pass the time, and distract her from her boredom. She decided to include her pet monkey in this painting, and this is something that made me think that this is something that brings her joy despite all of the hardships that she...
