For while, I've simply been drawing heads in different positions and now I'm spreading down to the body. In the past couple weeks I've had a lot of school projects to do. Fortunately, every assignment involves an art piece. Drawing so often has gotten me very encouraged to draw constantly, especially when I do not have to turn something in.
I volunteer once a week to read to elementary students and the more I'm around younger kids, the more I become aware of other peoples quirks that make them like no other. With that, I find myself disappointed on any sort of pressures we put onto people(especially kids) that their art needs to look, be made, be influenced in a certain way. One more encouragement towards becoming a Montessori teacher.

my favorite form of art is from ones sketchbook. What I have found that I enjoy most from sketchbooks is the process, thoughts, mindset, technique, formation, notes, sporadic pattern, interests, habits from the unconscious. Here is a drawing done with a Pigmamicron 01. The original size is about 5 inches wide.
I enjoy seeing the continuous movement, no beginnings or ends.
I also enjoyed kausik's immediate reaction towards it. "what is it!?". He said it quite freshly. "is it a nest?".
I responded in silence and began to rotate it in a clockwise direction after a few moments. Seeing the process of how you look at art, comparing immediate reactions to ones after more observing, and also how I see it compared to how others look at it. I don't care to tell what it is seen to me as because that would contradict continuous movement. This drawing is referred to as kausik's nest although, it is not seen as a nest to me.

art therapy has been interesting me.
