CLASS SYNOPSIS
in this class we learned basic techniques in drawing, like how to measure angles and proportions as well as how to identify the form of the object. we began drawing simple geometric figures, then things like lamps, vases until finally progressing onto the human body. We also learned to model our subjects with shading. homework took about 3 hours a week.

MY REACTION
[ANNOYED!]
because he's mean! but then he'll randomly have a joke and everyone reacts the same, "the devil has a sense of humor????!!!!!" every class we all come in and set up our drawing boards on our easels and sit down arranged in a circle around the object we are drawing. sometimes he'll have us go over to the chalk board to explain something first. then we begin to draw our subject. the teacher circles behind us watching our every move. any wrong angles or proportions and its pretty much off with your head! he often yells "NO NO NO no NOOO!" or "WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU!!!" with his intense russian accent. me being me, i approach every incident like this with a smile and try to fix the mistake. but sadly he does affect other people in the class. but i mean, maybe its a good thing that he's like that, because it definately made me more anal about angles and proportion.
