Learning a New Language

On the very first day of my Introduction to Design, Professor Housefield suggested we all should learn a language. Not a language like Mandarin or Vietnamese, but a language of art, such as painting, color theory, sketching, etc. I thought about this and realized learning a language would do nothing but to broaden my ideas and hone my skills as an artist. I picked up this sketchbook from the UC Davis bookstore (smaller than the one required for class [5.5” x 8.5”] so that it wouldn't be such a hassle to carry around) and figured starting off with one sketch a day would be good. As months or weeks go by, hopefully I get more sketches in there a day and eventually I'll be sketching like crazy everywhere I go. It doesn't help so much that I'm not in a drawing class right now, but hey, its something productive right? So if you see me with my sketchbook around campus, sketching away, it would be lovely if you joined. It would be fun sharing ideas :)
