For this assignment, we were to think of 6-10 things that we wanted more of in our lives and 6-10 things we wanted less of. Then we sketched them out and labeled each sketch. I think this activity allowed us to set solid goals for ourselves and work towards achieving them this year.

The purpose of this assignment was to get a feel for what our current art skills are. At the end of the class, we will do this again to see how we've improved. I enjoyed challenging myself with drawing things I usually don't because it allowed me to see where I have room to refine.

This assignment challenged me to go slow and focus on what I was looking at. I picked a wall in my room that I love, which is filled with posters of all my favorite things. I enjoyed the continuous line aspect of this assignment, for it challenged me to not stop and question my art.

For this assignment, we looked at pictures of MLK Jr. and drew him in a single contour line. This was challenging because I wanted to capture King's looks and powerful presence in my one, single contour line. I also enjoyed this because we had the opportunity to show him respect and gratitude.
