So with this lesson, I had to conquer something I dislike, life drawing. After being told on previous courses that my work is too cartoony, even with the work I put in, I now struggle with having the motivation to complete tasks involving this. I didn't complete my drawing in its entirety within the 15 minutes, however, here is a picture of what I managed to complete.

We also had to be in groups of three, with people we had so far not really interacted with. This then resulted in one person having to interview the model, as a third person, writing down questions and answers from this interaction.

We also had a film showing, which involved these two shorts:

I really enjoyed the concept of the 'Whole' short, and became inspired from it. I have used the idea of not being whole within my passport. After watching these shorts, and arriving home, I started properly looking into the ideas for my passport.

A short that really sparked my interest from this research was this one:

It really hit home for me, as I felt that I could remember relating to those exact feelings.

The major word that stood out for me was escape. I have a lot of things that I do that help me, in a way, escape. These include my books, music and films. So my idea was formed. A transitional passport, representing me, from when I was 'empty', and was suffering with depression, to where I am now, having nearly completely overcome it, and feeling 'whole'.
