Time Capsule Drawings

This assingment was the first task we did in the beginning of the year. I had to create three pencil drawings. Those were a self portrait, the corner of a room, and an object of my choice. I chose to do a monarch butterfly chrysalis for that.

This activity was for us to see how we improved with our art over the year. I think that I improved quite a bit. We did a self portrait unit in class in which I learned skills that would help me create a more realistic self portrait. I also got better with my overall drawing and looking at the corner of a room drawing, I would have definitely made it darker. The only one of those drawings that I liked was the butterfly chrysalis. I probably drew that better than the others because I have always been better ay drawing my what I want and not what others tell me to do.

At first I thought this task was pointless. But, looking back at the drawings now at the end of the year, it is interesting to see how much I have improved and what skills and techniques I could apply to those drawings to make them better.
