Blindfold Drawings

When you heard the directions what thoughts went through your head?
Right away I knew what I was going to draw. my quite spot. It was a place in my room where I could be quite and it was in a window in a comfortable space the relaxed me. This summer I took an art class and we had to do something very similar and that made me think of it so I was nom freaking out. Because I knew that I cant see so its not expected to be my best.

How did the blindfold help or hinder your ability to picture a place?
It helped me to think about this place because with my eyes closed I just thought about that place the whole time. And now about what It would look like.

How did you start to translate your thoughts into marks on the page?
I felt out the page to get a feel for how big the paper was and what I would be working with. Then I just let my hands flow with the pencil and my thoughts of what it used to look like.

How did the act of drawing blindfolded change if at all as time went on?
Overtime I felt more relaxed about it. I sure how it would come out. But then time felt longer and I wasn't sure how long it would be before time was up and I didn't know what else to add.

How do you feel about the outcome?
The outcome is a little messy but not to bad. It shows the curtains and I can tell what it is but I dont know if anyone else would be able to tell.

How is the resulting drawing similar or different to drawings you have made in the past?'
Well I dont think I have ever tried to draw my quite spot but I know this drawing means something to me. I dont know if I have ever made a drawing like this in the past though. But it wasn't exactly from imagination it was more from memory.
