Diebenkorn drawings

It wasn’t too hard trying to find this drawing out of everyone since I remembered the score (haha). This was so much fun, even though I was quite sick for the longest time ever! I was never good at chess/checker (I don’t remember which one is which). But other than that, it was great meeting Leslie and having fun while losing. I felt this project wasn’t about PLAYING chess.. I felt this project forced me to look at my mistakes or maybe I’m thinking too hard. Lee really wanted us to press on the charcoal really really hard so it’ll be incredibly dark. So I also thought the purpose of the project was to understand tone as well.

This was all kinds of fun and craziness and frustration! I enjoyed this project because I sat at another table (not that I don’t love my original seating) and met new classmates. My partner was Leslie. It was crazy and at some point I was frustrated because I was sick and I guess because the picture didn’t look exactly like the original artwork.

As said before, this project made me think a lot! I never really worked with charcoal, except in high school. And to be honest, eversince this project, I actually like using charcoal! My partner and I switched places everynow and then so both our insights were drawn on the artwork. One thing I learned from this project is that even though me and Leslie are both looking at one, same, original artwork, we are thinking of how to draw it in our own ways, if that makes any since. It was difficult trying to ”copy” the original artwork but during the process I understood how to use charcoal more and the tones of it. 

 But I had loads of fun, which matters the most. heh.
