Today I was thankful for my drawing class! We worked on gesture drawing again today, but somehow it must have been a little bit different than before because I really enjoyed it today! I even kinda like the gesture drawings I did (which doesn't happen very often) :) I've noticed that I have gotten my love of everything artist back (oh how I missed it!) lately! I am able to look beyond everything around me and see more of the artistic beauty in things, I'm in aww at things almost constantly again! Something my professor said a few weeks ago caught me as interesting so I wrote it down, after looking at it again, I see what he means more than I did intially:
"To be an artist, you must be amazed by the world around you like you did when you were 6 months old. Before you began naming things."
I think that statement is SO true. How amazing would even a tree be if we went back to a time before we knew that it was a tree and just looked at them for the beauty they pocess?
Tonight I smiled just for the simple fact that it was the first night since we have been back from Omaha that we actually got to stay home! It was so nice to know we aren't rushing around for a few hours!
