- I wouldn’t consider myself a very artistic person. But I did enjoy drawing my hydro flask because it was pretty simple. As I was drawing the trees, I noticed there were a lot of branches and small details that I had fun trying to successfully draw. The leaves were kind of frustrating to draw because I wanted it to look pretty similar to the tree I was drawing. The most frustrating thing to draw was another person from the class. I am not good at drawing people or faces but I took my time and did my best. I would definitely try again if I had the chance to draw these specific things.
- I think if I practiced for 100 and even 1,000 hours I would definitely get better. When I drew the tree the second time, I noticed an easier and more effective way of drawing the leaves. But I liked the branches on my first drawing. I think once an artist figures out what techniques they like, then from there you can practice to become better and better and what you are drawing.
- My major is Speech Language-Pathology. I want to be a speech therapist, specifically to help and work with kids who are special needs. I do think simple sketching would help in my major and my career. For example, in my phonetics class, we had to look at a drawing and listen to the way a kid was pronouncing the word, and had to write down what mistakes the kid was making. When working with kids, it’s easy to draw something real quick and see if they can pronounce the object that was drawn.
- I do think drawing is a language. It can be a way of self expression and allowing one to see someone’s feelings through art. Sometimes it’s hard for people to express how they’re feeling or what they’re thinking. Drawing allows them to still speak their mind but in a nonverbal way. It can allow someone to feel more confident in themselves.
