Well for starters I had a really fun time doing the superimposed lines. I can really draw a straight line... but for some reason my concentration in copying a line on the page is hard. I have shaky hands or my hands just goes somewhere else when I try to replicate the line. Ellipses Planes and Table of Ellipses was hard to do since my hand for some reason just jets out of the box. I did got it control but my arm movement for it is so.. unntaural. I did got control fo it after the second box... but I am going to do this to get the hang of the movement. Same with the funnels. I did attempt to make it as close as possible. But I see that when I ghost it. I tend to go out of the funnel then in the funnel.

Anything with the boxes was not that hard instead of the Rotated boxes. I cannot get it straight. Yea I did the assignments again. I forgot to complete the 250 box challenge and not drawn in last year. SO I reattempt it, I know my last attempt was fairly better than this attempt. Felt like a beginner again> But I will strive to diminish my weaknesses and finally get better at being a draftsmen.

Rapid Viz

Rapid Viz

Rapid Viz is a book after mine own heart, and exists very much in the same spirit of the concepts that inspired Drawabox. It's all about getting your ideas down on the page, doing so quickly and clearly, so as to communicate them to others. These skills are not only critical in design, but also in the myriad of technical and STEM fields that can really benefit from having someone who can facilitate getting one person's idea across to another.

Where Drawabox focuses on developing underlying spatial thinking skills to help facilitate that kind of communication, Rapid Viz's quick and dirty approach can help students loosen up and really move past the irrelevant matters of being "perfect" or "correct", and focus instead on getting your ideas from your brain, onto the page, and into someone else's brain as efficiently as possible.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
