Reflecting on Self portrait

During my time drawing, I definitely focused on details and and fixing a lot of the stuff that I messed up near the end. I think for drawing I don't really see how the book described people drawing see it. I don't see words when I am drawing I see a picture and I draw the picture. Not much thought is put in to it unless there is different details that I think are a bit messed up or off. I usually tend to mess around trying to fix little details and I have to stop myself before I completely change the picture. I am pretty happy with how my self portrait ended up even though I could definitely improve some things. I have always wanted to get better at drawing but I never like taking classes for drawing so I use a lot of youtube to learn how to draw certain things. When reading Habits of the Mind "Paying Attention", I definitely don't think I fully understand or relate to what Edwards was trying to say about how people draw. As I sort of said in my quote of the day and above as well, l don't really name parts when I draw so it wasn't very difficult to separate the words from drawing. I would say my most successful part is most likely the eyes because I think it's the easiest part to draw on many faces. The harder parts were definitely the lips and the hair, the hair was just a chore to shade in and kind of annoying. I definitely lost my sense of time while drawing because I took way longer than 30 minutes. I enjoy drawing most of the time so that is probably why time went by so fast.

Email: Thank you for the response. I feel that the feedback is accurate. I have now realized that I completely forgot the works cited page as well as a 4th source and this was a mishap on my side. I plan to add the 4th source and a works cited page before I post it on my portfolio. I think that the book club this semester is very good. I enjoy my book. The only complaints I would have is that it seemed a little bit rushed for some reason but it might just be because we are doing it during the latter half of the semester rather than the first half. Questions I have for essay 3 is how long it would be, whether or not it should be longer or shorter than our previous essays and it seems like we have much less time to work on it. But I am ok with that. I am interested to know what the prompt for the essay is and how we will write it.

book club response 3

How does your author's personal life relate to larger social issues?  Is that an essential part of a powerful narrative?  Why or why not? My authors personal life relates to larger social issues because his life was surrounded by poverty and the issue of identity. The ideas that Trevor Noah puts forth are all very relevant to our social issues today. Many people have a problem finding their own identity and understanding who they are and it is exemplified in the book when Trevor describes his childhood and his life and how his race has affected who he is. I believe that the ideas that stem from his personal life and connect to larger social issues are all very essential to the narrative and move the story forward with good development and pacing.
