+After the first lessons we started drawing.
+We chose a microscopic image of a blood cell in a clot to draw.
+This is the original image:
+[[File:Bloodcell.jpeg]]
+How I drew it:
 [[File:Blood_cell_drawing.JPG]]
+What I made of my drawn image playing with scaling:
+I copied my drawn image plenty times ar different scales and build a scaling pyramid with it.
+The bottom is the largest and the top the smallest copy of the blood cell.

+I tried to use the small copies of the cells as a pattern and make something similar looking to a carpet or tapestry:

+These are the copies etc. which I used while working on the scaling:

+As a kind of homework assignment we were supposed to draw in a sketchbook.
+I drew some sketches and some of them are quite funny inspired by friends and their imagination.
+The fire spitting French Fry was drawn in the Mensa in Weimar while eating.
+The idea that stuck and will be reencountered in my final project is the shadow idea.
+Where is the light source?
+These are all of my sketches:

+As the last part of our course we used a microscope to look at interesting objects and together decide which ones we want to draw.
+In the end we had the wing of a moth, a tulip petal and the scale of a berry. Furthermore I used strings of red wool.
+I drew without colour only with a pencil.
+These are the objects drawn:

+The end of the course will be the presentation of one project.
+I chose a project around shadows as mentioned above.
+Title: Shadow Distortion
+In my project I aim to compare to groups of students who work with
+D-modelling on a daily basis.
+My goal is the analysis of their spatial sense based on shadow distortion.
+My approach to this analysis is as follows.
+First part:
+I will take approximately 10 pictures of simple objects with different
+illumination.
+The lightsource will not be depicted in the photo.
+For each picture there will be a spatial map where the lightsource was
+located. This is kept secret from the probands and will be revealed
+only after the experiment is over.
+The probands will be given a spatial map without the lightsource and
+asked to draw the lightsource into the given spatial map.
+Second part:
+I will take again 10 pictures of different simple objects and then
+draw them as close to reality as possible. Then these drawn objects
+will be scanned in.
+But instead of preserving the original shadows I will distort some of
+the shadows or place them somewhere different from their original
+position.
+This is also the second part for the probands.
+Given these 10 images they will be asked to point the lightsource again.
+Given that the reflection and refraction will stay the same the
+probands may detect that the pictures have wrong shadow placement.
+It is still uncertain if they will be given the knowledge of
+wrong-placed shadows in some of the images in advance or be left to
+find out on their own.
+After having collected all data needed the data will be visualized
+using stochastical forms and a conclusion will be drawn concerning my
+hypothesis which is that artists have indeed a better spatial sense
+than computer graphic students.
+The form of my art projected will be a folder with all collected
+material concerning this work. This folder can be copied and there
+will not be one original.
+The pictures drawn then scanned and shot will be included as well as
+documentation of the experiment and the captured thought process of
+the test persons.
+Overlapping maps of all placed lightsources in the spatial maps
+including the real one will be added, too.
+Also the analysis in form of charts and a short text summarizing the
+conclusion, hypthesis and my thought process on this project.
