Specific Meaning (functional characteristic), texture, hybrid, and index.

Specific Meaning: I kept getting this mixed up with index but I think I understand now. To tell you the truth this was very exciting to draw something other than my direct pointe shoe! haha I drew many dancers which has been my favorite thing to draw forever. I am like a lame Degas!! (He is my hero!)

Texture: This was difficult too! Lots of confusing topics this week! At first, I struggled with conveying the exact texture of my object. Pointe shoes are smooth... alas they are covered in satin. But the texture changes when one considers the materials used to create it. Paper mache, wood, canvas... I then began to explore these textures. I feel that these sketches were more interesting because they convey the hidden textures of my object

Hybrid: This was another topic that I enjoyed.  I started out combining categories that made sense to me and then migrated to choosing random categories to challenge myself.  I really worked hard on the painterly dancers.  I think they turned out great!

Index: I LOVE this one.  I created word lists to create many different interpretations of my object.  I feel like this got me thinking creatively and expanding my view of my object!
