And then interpret/translate it into a black and white drawing. Here was one of my results:
It's not bad, but it's certainly not good either. I've never been particularly good at freehand drawing. My drawings always have this elementary quality to them. Hopefully with these classes, I'll improve and graduate to at least secondary school. The idea is to practice "seeing" and then accurately translating that to paper -- considering proportions, capturing light and shadow, depicting forms and relationships, and so forth. Day 2 tomorrow!

cool stuff Juls. I like your drawing. It certainly is a whole lot better than I can do!
I think the photo does look like the Jewish Memorial.
How was your first day otherwise?
