I took pictorial foundation last semester and decided to check out the department for multiple reasons. This was our 4th assignment were we had to construct a still life or a shadow box to drawn from. The of the assignment goal was to explore texture with mark making. I thought that in terms of a "traditional" response to a drawing I did rather well with this I like the energy and identity the drawing takes on. One of the reasons why I took the class was to strengthen some core drawing principals and to focus on drawing smaller and with greater detail in small situations. Out of all of the assignments this one is one of my favorites because its a theme I have been exploring for a while ( apart of it) and it was fun to do  and not to serious. I liked returning to a traditional means of drawing for a change in contrast to the more unconventional means. I'm in love with the tonal shifts and where the light dapples through and on the positive and negative shapes. 

I've been interested in drawings by Jason Shawn Alexender and some other artist. I'm working to more make gestural drawings and abstracted portions of it.  He's a living artist  working in fine and graphic novel (illustrative) arts.
