As I entered my freshman art class their was this man with dusty glasses, shabby hair, and a shirt with a missing button. At first I thought this is some kind of joke and I never took the guy seriously. But the moment he shown us the different forms of lines and and how different type of lines could make just one painting different it amazed me. We obviously didn't know that a line with diferent texture or pressure on a pencil would make our painting different. Unfortunately a handful of the class knew this but the rest not so much.
The art teacher took his job seriously but his assertive attitude towards the class died down once we hit October. We started watching videos and doing "observational" drawings from the clips. Then December came along we did this one contour drawing of urban buildings with great height and it lasted to January to February. Once the school year was ending he talked about his emotional turmoils and unbelievable lectures about being a cartoonist and how serious it was to him. I attempted to do comic strips with the guy he didn't like them and he took my art work never returned them but came back looking happier the next day . So I just went to doing that required a more serious aproach were theirs more than lines involved and monochromatic which is designing buildings or as we like to call it today Architecture. In Architecture Height is required to be known along with perspective. But with out a plan this is all useless The Architect has to do at least five sketches when planning. So even though this man or Teacher was the way he was he taught me or I find my way to understand the principals of graphics design. It also requires scale, proportion, and measurement of space and some math geometry, calculus, and to analyze its volume. Now im no genius but im sure that is correct anyone who thinks otherwise please correct me. Eventually I learned quite a few from the man about negative space and weight. This applies a great amount of detail in drawing. Never underestimate the teacher. Till this day I use the skills taught to me and I will never leave astray the patterns, and the amount of space left on a paper.
PLEASE IF ITS NOT TO MUCH TO ASK COMMENT (this was a short story assignment non-fiction)
