PROGRESS WORKKKK

So basically, I scraped all my other concept sketches and  started a new one. The new problem i have identified is track spikes are annoying as hell. Right, so, after a warm-up in your regular running shoes, you have to put on your spikes before you start your race. But really who wants to take on and off their shoes after a warm up? I know that when I did it, it was annoying. For one, when you run the grass with spikes, you fall because the spikes are embedded into the grass. From personal experience, this was painful as well as inconvenient. So my solution is to make retractable spikes and a cover on the bottom of the soles to keep the spikes from coming out when you are doing your warmup.

Problem solving

My concept map:

Essentially, I feel the solution for my problem is that more help should be available to students who seek it. Sometimes when I go to the academic counselors for help, they don't even answer my question and I come out of there more confused than when I went in. For this reason, I think the counselors should know exactly what information they are giving us because that is important for us to see where our futures can go.

Line Work

Lines are essentially the works of everything in the world; everything you look at has lines. Before starting this lesson, I always liked my lines to be perfectly straight unless you know, it's a curve. After the lesson, I feel like i don't need to be as accurate as possible with my art and that makes me happy to be improving.

For me, lines convey every emotion because it makes up...literally everything.

I can convey the feeling of being dark and mysterious, or I can convey the feeling of being happy.
An example:

My partner said that my line work was pretty done well but that I need to REALLY capture movement with gesture drawings. I thought the movement of smiling was already captured in my picture. 

Problems of the world

There are so many important things in the world that are important to me but the problem that I am passionate about is helping people with mental and eating disorders. The next thing is helping people map out their futures. For me, I feel like there is no structure in my life but then all at once, there is a mass amount of structure and pressure from my parents. My last problem is a personal problem. I don't have enough money to buy art supplies to satisfy my artistic aspiration.
