There's those people that you label as artists right off the bat, I would say I more or less fell into this major. Yes, I enjoy the idea of art, and through sheer hard work and slight talent, I would say I have produced some works I am proud of. However, I am not a sketcher, I'm not constantly drawing or thinking of artistic ideas. I believe that I just haven't found a subject that I truly enjoy. Maybe always having a sketchbook just isn't my style. I am hoping this class though will change that.
I find natural forms such as the human body beautiful and forever interesting. The question is, will I be able to relay that through my hand, my artistic ability.
I always liked taking photos but that's like taking the easy way out in art. Drawing takes time and it takes patience, you have to understand techniques and materials. I liked parts of Drawing I and II but still-life after still-life can get boring. It was good for working on your overall skill but I think that Life Drawing will be different from any art class that I have taken before. I want to have another dimension to my artistic ability. I like the idea of capturing movement, especially in the human from. I'm excited for the challenge. I can't wait until I can draw like some of these examples.

I guess I am just ready to get started, no matter how difficult or frustrating this type of drawing may be. I see myself devoting time to this subject and hopefully I will come away with more works I can be proud of.
