Online Gallery of Eye Finals

Here are the finals so far. As you look at these, if you feel someone else's drawing is better than yours, study what they have done -- the same way you studied the Michaelangelo and Beckmann. What is it that attracts you to it? What did the artist do that you did not do? Try making a copy of the drawing you like to help you figure out what they did that is different from yours. And look at the variety and appreciate that we each see the world differently and which is apparent when we look at drawings. When you look at a drawing, you are seeing through the eyes of the artist. In Beckmann's drawing you saw the anger he must have felt at being forced to leave his own country, or the trauma he felt after his experience as a medic in WWI. Drawing is a form of expression as much as writing is and once you have some skills to rely on, you will be able to express who you are or what you are experiencing through drawing. I am immensely proud of the work you are submitting.
