re visiting observation/description activity

Well, although it the picture Mia created is not exactly the same as the original there are many similarities. (Many more than my picture had) the location of the shapes and shades are almost dead on although they do not mesh together the way they do in the original. She really got the atmosphere of the piece in its lineless simplicity and blurred effect. If I were to do this differently I would recommend materials such as cray pas and stress the lack of definitive shapes and tones.

collaborative drawing

Collaborative drawing, was at times, very frustrating. When you have another person working on something you have invested yourself into it can hard. They add some of themselves into what you made, and sometimes you do not like the final product. (this says a lot about failed relationships) I started my picture based in a tropic setting, so when I came back to see an igloo had been added I was less then ecstatic. I started out with a vision for this piece which was then blurred by other peoples inputs, opinions, and tastes. In the end I just had to laugh and accept the igloo palm tree heaven day night mess, because thats all you can do otherwise you will never be open to others views
