Final Post

So, for my final posting I had planned on doing a final drawing to display what I learned. What I did not plan on was having this much work to do right around this time. I am swamped with tests, projects and papers right now leaving me barely enough time to write this.

This whole process has helped me to gain a lot more respect for artists. I knew before that drawing is hard, but I didn't realize everything else that goes into it. You aren't just born to be a great artist. Sure, you can be born with skills that will lead you to be a great artist, but after that there is a lot of work that must go into it. I gained a lot more than a new skill out of this project.

Reflection

Since I have started working on this project I have been looking at the things around me a lot differently. I think about how how drawing applies to the world around us. I now realize that pretty much everything stems from drawing. Before you manufacture or create anything, most of the time, you draw a picture of it first.
I can't think of any cultural, economic, national, etc. implications of drawing itself. I believe it can be for anyone. The point where things start to become implied is in the drawings. There are many meanings behind people's drawings. There are many who do this to express themselves. There are others who do it to make extra money. No matter what the reason is, the things they create are interesting and innovative.
