What I did first was look at Mrs. Singleton's inspiration board. I didn't get any ideas from it so I just decided to make a list of what I would like to draw. My list had animals, faces, flowers, people, and landscapes. After this, I went home and took of things that had a lot of lines. It seems like my list didn't help me with anything because I ended up just taking pictures of things that would be interesting to draw. These are the pictures I took.
For this project, I chose to draw the trophy of the eagle I won in a U.S. History quiz bowl in eighth grade. What inspired me to do my first project on this was that it means something to me and by drawing it I can have a feeling/message on it. Since I just decided to do this for my first project because I felt like it was something good, I didn't get inspiration from any artist. What shows my creativity and imagination is the way I'm going to hold the trophy with both hands. This will show that the trophy has a meaning to me. All of my ideas are connected to my daily life because I see them everyday. Some of them are just simple things that can have a message or something but that I don't think of it. When I got this assignment, I thought of things that had a lot of lines and took pictures of things that I thought would work for this project. I chose the trophy of the eagle because the wings have a lot of lines and the whole eagle itself also does. My goal for this project is to successfully show the message I want my drawing to have. I also want to really get into R-mode so I can make a nice drawing and get a good grade for it.
