The workshops this week were enjoyable, to a degree. I enjoyed collaging, as it is something that I have done since I was a child. I was never good at drawing or painting, and so my creative options were relegated to exercises in coloring books and and collaging. I worked with the local newspapers to make a collage of the sections I found to be most prominent and of the most interest to me. The exercise was enjoyable, and in a way therapeutic.

Todays workshop with adobe illustrator was more difficult. I had trouble finding the colors and shapes that I was looking for. The process itself didn’t feel at all organic, and was quite honestly boring  for me. Even though I cant paint or draw, I enjoy working with my hands more than I do on the computer. It’s an interesting medium over which to create, and I’m sure those more apt artistically can find ways to make beautiful pieces of art, but I don’t think digital illustration is the thing for me.
