Work to be proud of— It’s a Journey!
At Watershed we know that great work, work they are proud of, comes when students learn how to ask questions and identify the skills and information they need to answer their questions. Half-way through the “Drawing the World” course, a student was asked to reflect on her process thus far. What was she learning and how was her learning developing? Was she proud of the work she was doing and where did she see her work going?
Student reflection
About the Course
The “Drawing the World” course focused on improving students’ ability to draw the world around them, whether it be people, nature, or architecture. The skills in the class prepared students to enter a new level when it came to drawing scientific and observational journals, quickly sketching people and places, and using visual mediums to express how they see the world. The course used a variety of tools and strategies that artists use to solve visual challenges and students worked primarily in the field in this course.
