Stay under the tent (statement of intent)

I aim to use as many textures as possible. Recently I've been wearing my magnifying glass around my neck in search for textures that we would not normally see and have also been paying attention to the small strip drawings in children's books at the beginning or end of each chapter which has encouraged me to add boarders around the drawings. These are the sorts of small accenting drawings I plan on creating. Some more things I plan on practicing though my drawings, collages, contrast (to help understand the middle grounds of light and dark), still life, and most importantly, will be practicing the basic human figure (in the form of Native North American clowns).
