Wait! Where Did It Go?

Whatever happened to those good ole homework examples. I am under the same instructor that I had for drawing last semester and one of the best parts about FOD1 were the examples posted on the main blog of the homework assignments that were due the following week in class. Those were a major help because they allowed the student to get a sense of what is to be expected of their work when it came time for the next critique session. The examples that used to be posted were especially helpful if a student was absent from class for some reason, whether it be personal or medical, because they allowed a student to get the gist of what was going in the class session that was missed. I don't really network too well with any of the other students in class so when it comes down to my work and understanding my homework assignments the class blog is my best friend. It may be that I just typed this blog out too soon and didn't search the class blog good enough or it may be that homework examples are not posted for a reason this semester. If the homework examples are not to be posted on the blog intentionally for this semester then all that I have to say is "DAMN", because those homework post were the SHIT(and I say that with the upmost positive respect).

Back At It...

Yep.....I know. I'm getting my blog off to a bad start for the spring semester. Classes have been in session since late January and I am just now posting a blog in March. I have had some personal as well as medical issues going on this semester, but I am not making any excuses because this is pretty bad that I am just know blogging. Anyway, I missed my last class in FOD2 due to the aforementioned medical issues so I guess that I will start by mentioning what I was up to in class the week before my absence. We were working with using value to break down the planes in a still life using the side of a piece of conte. I understood the instructions given before we actually began working, however, my work didn't come out as planned. I guess that when I had begun to use the conte to show the planes of my still life I was pressing down too hard on the conte which resulted in me losing my certain areas of focus within my still life. I was kinda hard not being able to use line in the beginning of the assignment, but ,hopefully, I will be able to catch on.
