This is my picture of the clear drawing before I finished it.
 This is my picture of the clear drawing after I finished it.
I feel pretty proud of what I draw. I feel as though I accomplished a lot, like at first I was telling myself that I couldn't do it but when I started to draw I told myself I could do it. At the end it came out pretty well. The process of drawing this picture was pretty easy because at first you had to draw the outline of the object. It give you a picture of how the object should look. Then you had to put in the lighting it wasn't really hard because you had to focus on where the light hit the glass. You can tell where because the glass would brighten and shine more. The next thing you had to was take away the outline because there was really no outline there. At the end of my drawing it really look like it was 3-d which I think is pretty stellar.

When I started drawing my full figure drawing I had the beautiful image of what it was going to look like. With both of my drawings, I want for them to come out looking great. That wasn’t always possible. With my full figure project it didn’t come out as a thought it would. I had a whole different picture in my mind. I wanted for my picture to be pretty; I wanted for my picture to covered all of the details that I saw. That couldn’t happen because every time I had to start over. At the end I thought it was still pretty good.

Through out the course of me drawing my full figure object, it was hard. I had to start over four times, in all four classes. It was pretty terrible. I wanted to give up; I was going to give up. My teacher and one of my peers encourage me to continue. My peer helped me with my outline, she pointed out things that I haven’t seen before. At the end I thought it was a pretty good turnout. With my clear object it was really easy. I drew what I saw and at the end I went over it and made it even better. It was one the best thing I ever draw.

My work shows that if I but my mind up to it I can do it. If I try hard and say I can do it then it’ll keep happen. As long as I have positive mind then my work will show how good I am. The same thing happens with all my other work. If I put my mind to it I can do it. I have learned how to have a positive relation with all of my work.

Buchanico, Bezhani

The person who represents me is Councilwoman Blondell Reynolds Brown.  Who has been about of the Philadelphia youth for along time. She has programs that work with energy conservation, and energy matters.

How has my legislator voted on my issue in the past? There wasn't really an issue on my topic in the past due to the recent act of violence ( Flash Mobs) in the city.


What do you and your representative have in common?
We are both against violence, but we both are in to helping others and good education.

​Charcoal is a classic medium and indisputably the one I am most comfortable with. It smoothes well and thick and leaves part of your art work on your fingers. When you become so accustomed to using just one medium you know the intricacies that it wants and how to bend to its desires and make it work the way you want it to. That is why I find it so easy and fluid to make so many drawings of the same thing. Each time it comes out strangely different than before which is why I never stop doing the same thing. Part of the most interesting thing in this project was how I was able to do the same concept a few times before I felt I had accomplished something. I did two figure drawings, one in color and one in quick sketch charcoal. I felt like they were completely different projects and in a sense they were. I was in a different position and a different paper and medium and model. But the base concept was the same - large figure drawing. It just makes me happy to see how things that are the same concept end up so differently. 

Similarly, I also made three drawings on glass bowls. One was a simple sketch to get the feeling of the material right. The second was with water and a flower to test my use of shapes and dark versus light. The third was a still life of multiple to try my hand at the circles they had as well as glass on top of glass. Again I was in deep admiration of the way that things that would seem so similar can be portrayed so differently.

The pictures came out very small, sorry.

1.    What are you lobbying for, against or to change? Explain the issue  I am lobbying for the curfew act in Philadelphia.
