Hello, everybody!

What a challenge!

Marie-Noelle, thank you very much for the class, it was really fun to do all these exercises. Also, I like the quotes you put in the videos. Very inspiring! I was surprised to see some of my favorites writers: Henry Miller, Erich Fromm, Neil Gaiman.

It was very exciting for 14 days. I was eager to see what would be the next task about. All of the exercises are very self-exploratory. I think I have learned something about myself.

My drawings:

1) Journey

When I think about a journey, The first association is traveling. Why do we like traveling so much? Probably because in a new city, a new place we live differently: we have not bothered by everyday troubles. We are able to actually be at the moment, notice the reality around us and appreciate it. That is what my drawing is about - being at the moment. I showed it through the union with nature. A 14-day challenge - image 1 - student project

2) Cloudwatching

I like to draw people and faces, so I saw part of a person in my form.

3) Slow down.

It was hard to slow down. To be honest, I failed for the first time. And I did a drawing with my regular speed (but thinking I should be slower). A 14-day challenge - image 4 - student project

But several days later I had a slow mood, so I did slow down.

8) I chose those colours because of the very bright summer sun, which makes every colour around us very intense.

11) Transform me: I wanted to transform my recent painting. I had a really inspiring meeting with my friend, we were at the park, we’re talking about Salinger books. This meeting was so great, I wanted to portray it in a drawing or painting. I did gouache piece, but it was bad (I am not really good with gouache yet), so I remade it in pencil and digital coloring. It is not perfect, but better.
