"At Semester's End"

I can honestly say that i feel i could have done much better if i actually looked at the syllabus and the blog more often. Not doing this made me not fully understand outside assignments and either do something wrong or not have it on the day it was supposed to be turned in. I still feel with these problems I've done an exceptional job this semester. It's funny how Cole said that it seems like people do better on outside assignments than in class assignments, but for me i feel it was the opposite. Over this semester i have learned a lot of essential techniques that I thought I knew, but this class made me realize otherwise.

Pencil, Charcoal, or conte: what is your medium of choice? why?

I am team charcoal all the way. I feel that charcoal creates a high contrast with how dark the lines can get giving it a dynamic look. When I use pencils all I can really focus on is the glossy silver look that it gives. Conte gives you too many rules. keeping it sharpened is my least favorite part.
