Another day full of creative endeavors lead me down paths I haven’t been in some time. As a young art student, I found myself under the constant scrutiny of my art professors. Most of the time it tore me down rather than build me up, as I tended to be insecure about my talents. One of their major critiques was my lack of respect to proportion. The ultra rebellious girl in me took that advice for what it was worth, changed my major to a less judgmental study (psychology– hahaha), and thus started my long measurement free, straight edgeless, rebellious road to ill proportion. I can’t even remember when the last time I picked up a ruler or straight edge to use for it’s intended purpose.
Alas, today I have come full circle. Much to the enjoyment of my wonderfully precise and practical BFS (whom I met in those aforementioned art classes), I bravely asked to borrow a ruler, level, angle thingy and even an eraser for my new project. We shall have to wait and see if the lines continue to walk the strait path to perspective.
Wish the ruler good luck that I don’t abuse it too much.
