Learning Habit Post #2

What aligned with your learning habit in a positive way in the last two weeks?

My learning habit is participation. The way I made sure I participated was, I wrote down notes and focused hard so I could see if I could come up with any questions. When I did this, I noticed it worked for me so I continued to do it.

What do you want to do (set an intention) to make your learning habit feel successful?

I have a lot of ideas that could contribute to class discussions and I want others to hear them but, I don’t always have the confidence to raise my hand. The way I will make my learning habit feel successful is, checking in with the teacher to see what we are doing for the class and talk to them to make a plan so I can participate. I have done this in the past usually, never following through but, I am ready to make a change in my learning habit, so therefore I am going to follow through!

 

Value Eye Drawing Reflection

One of the biggest projects you have to take on in seventh grade is drawing your eye with value and different types of pencils. In this project, you are introduced to six different drawing pencils that are called 6B, 4B, 2B, B, HB, and 2H. To start this art assignment you have to do the following: stand on a chair and look straight while Rohan takes a picture of your eye, you get the picture of your eye in print form, next you make a borderline to where you are going to draw your eye using the 2H pencil, then as you continue you eventually would have used all six different pencils at necessary times.

Up top is a picture of my finished drawing. I am really satisfied with the final result and proud because when I started I doubted myself and thought I wouldn’t be able to do it. There are some parts I would tweak, for example, the shading around the eye and the coloring in of the pupil.
