The Kinetic Family Drawing

Figure 1 Drawing this image gave me some anxiety, mostly because I dislike drawing people. I focused more on the environmental details, especially the lines of the table and the details in the chandelier. I ended up drawing my family members as a type of apparition, taking the spiritual place of each individual. Of note is that the figure that represents my father on the far left is the only figure that has a seat at the table. Additionally, the figure that represents myself in the middle doesn’t seem to have a plate of their own. My brother’s figure on the far right seems to be the smallest even though in reality he is my older sibling. 6

The Bird’s Nest Drawing

Figure 2 Drawing this image immediately felt more fun for me. This could, in part, be due to the fact that I had multiple colors to work with, which may have inspired my creative mind more. I drew the tree very solid with green leaves. The bird’s nest is situated between multiple branches, with the mother looking over her two eggs. In the background are two green mountains with the rising sun behind them. The title that I gave this drawing, along with the short narrative, further indicates the more positive feelings I was experiencing while drawing this image, with themes of protection, hope, and love.
