c)Independent Component 2 Log

d) I took a figure drawing class where I got do learn different techniques and ways to draw the human body. We used different methods from cubism, to plain and at the end we got to use a bit of color.

Interpretive:
Just some of the many pages I have of my work.
Most of our drawings were done with wood covered Charcoal.

Top: .03 Micron Marker
Middle: Willow Charcoal
Bottom: Wood Covered Charcoal 

Sides: Pastels
Middle Side: Kneaded Eraser
Bottom: Box Cutter 

Using my micron .03 marker that's why the pictures are so light.

Negative and positive using pastel

Here we toned the paper using the Willow Charcoal.

Final two drawings using colored pastels.

Dog approved. 

Applied:
 Figure drawing is a  basic course taught for fashion design. Figure drawing helps imagine the movement and the flow of a garment on a person. I got a feeling on the way the human moves, how it looks through those different movements, poses, and lighting. I got to practice how to translate that onto a paper.  It helped me answer my E.Q. because it taught me how even more connected art and fashion are since, any designers have to know how to create a beautiful garment that looks beautiful on the body.They had to have lots of practice watching the body and learning the way fabric moves and flows away when the body is in movement. Practice and observation is the way to create beautiful pieces.
