First week

The first week for art was only a basic introduction to the subject explaining what we will be expected to do and what we will be facing in the near future.

Due to this fact we were only sitting in a small room with little room to move around in, however Jerry asked us to move all seats and tables aside as we were going to do some brief drawing exercises, he proceeded to place a table into the middle of the room and placed various objects on top, "draw these items, however when u draw them, draw only the outline, do not take your pencil off the page and use your opposite hand." The purpose of this exercise was to "wake up the other side of [our] brain", we also did a few other exercises using our 'weaker' hand such as drawing a border around our paper without taking our pencils off the page, a figure of eight and also multiple sketches, in certain ways, of the items in the middle of the room.

As pointed out this was only an introduction lesson and the 'odd' exercises were actually very handy as it slowly became easier to control my left hand, therefore i believe this would be my most important point of this lesson this week, that using my opposite hand can help work my brain allowing me to produce better work in the long run.
