For this project, we could do anything we wanted. There were no limitations on materials or size. Of course, for me, this was a struggle. My inspiration for this project took me days to figure out. With the help of Ms. Winston, I finally decided my idea, and got started. My idea was to do a drawing of reflective surfaces. Ms. Winston helped me brainstorm ideas of what I could draw. But another challenging decision came up. What would I draw that represents reflective surfaces? How many would I draw? Would they all be the same or different? How big? Finally, after days of thoughts, my project assignment had been set. I would draw spoons. How cool are reflections that come off spoons? They're upside down and round... this would definitely be a challenging piece of work to draw, but I was up for the challenge.
Yet, another important decision came up. What medium would I use? My first instincts directly picked charcoal as my material. I picked this mostly because I liked drawing with it, but also because it's smooth and neat. This would be perfect for drawing reflective surfaces. Finally I was ready to start. The whole product only took me about three days to draw completely.
Although this process was difficult, I think the final product of my reflective drawing of spoons was better than I imagined. It might have not exactly been how I pictured it, or how I thought it would look. But I thought the final product came out well.
