Drawing from Observation Skills

The skills that it took to create my drawings are endurance, focus, being open to criticism, value, placement, and texture. It took endurance because for some of the drawings we spent a lot of time on them and on one double block, we spent the whole two hours on one drawing which required endurance as well as focus. When we did drawings that focused on placement of things compared to other things, we had to be open to criticism and willing to change our drawing because sometimes if one thing was off, we had to change the whole drawing.
I had never focused on texture so much, so in the zoom drawing it was something I got to work and improve on. As well as for endurance, I hadn't really worked a straight couple hours on a drawing so it took time to stay focused and keep working. I enjoyed working on placement because it gave me an opportunity to take the time to mainly focus on the placement. I had to focus on certain things like value, texture, placement specifically which let me improve more on certain skills.

Collaborative Drawing

When I approached each drawing, I mainly looked at the position and size of the things in the drawing compared to how they really looked in the room. In the ones I approached I saw the sides of the trash were missing so I added them and the positioning would be off so I moved or tilted them. What I did was I looked at the view I had and the view the drawing showed and tried to see if there were any differences. I moved things closer together in order to shrink the space between some objects. It was difficult to see the mistakes at first but when I started looking into the drawing more I found ways that the drawing could be improved.
When I looked at my drawing at the end, I thought it looked good and I could tell that people had changed a few things because of the erase marks but I couldn't remember what my drawing looked exactly like before. I could tell they had made the carpet smaller and moved the trash. They had added in the wood and water bottle since I hadn't gotten to them when I had left my drawing. To finish my drawing I mainly added in value and made some objects less blurry. I didn't have much to do after I added some value so, I finished the drawing fairly quickly.

Pre-assessment

The drawing from imagination felt more natural compared to the drawing from observation. The drawing from observation was more exact but when using my imagination I could add my own details that I imagined instead of drawing the ones exactly from what I saw during the observation drawing.
