So my concentration came out of nowhere. I have had no interest in birds in my entire life until our first project "impress me.'' I may hate birds but I really enjoy drawing them. I love the texture and uniformity of the feathers. No matter how crazy a birds wings or colors can be, it's all really the same anatomy and things criteria of drawing. Ironically, this uniformity makes it difficult to show growth! So I have taken to growing my concentration through objects around birds to birds themselves and then to abstract birds like the one above.
My projects haven't changed as much throughout the year. I can see myself using the same textures and strokes to represent feathers, but now I find that my strengths in media have changed. At the benign of the year I was terrified of watercolors. But now thats the only material that I think can show detail.

So this is an example of the idea behind the first stage of my concentration.  Just objects and bird paraphenalia. Kinda simple I know. I guess thats why I finished all 5 projects way too early and now I feel like my time has no purpose in second block. Don't be like me.  Don't work ahead.  You'll be depressed, like me.  Don't be depressed.  Don't work ahead.

So Big surprise... My concentration is Birds... I'm going to go from objects related to birds (like feathers or nests) moving to birds being still (like the birds just sitting on the branch) Moving to birds in motion.
