The similarites that most people in the class did was to write their name on the upper left hand corner when professor Toth told us to write our name. It never occur to me why we do it that way. It was just out of habit and I was taught to do it that way since grade school.
Today's activity was interesting. I never acutally thought you can read so much into the signatures. I thought a signature is just a signature. I never knew about the spacing or the curviness.
The portrait activity was also interesting. It actually gets your mind runing. You see your signature in a different point of view. You get to analyze the way you write and how you write it. Sometimes you can learn how to tell a person by how they write.
I am going to try these activities with my fellow co-workers to see the diffence and similarites.

This being the first lesson, I didn't know what to expect.  However, I found myself very interested in the topic.  People hear the word art and think complex paintings, but now, when I hear the word art, I will be able to think about how I made my own form of art using my signature.

Despite the fact that making a portrait of my neighbor seemed like an easy task, there was a bit of difficulty to it.  I found myself debating on what line should be used for eyes and what should be used for ears, and what sort of detail should be added to make it look like a real person.  I learned that I don't need to focus so much on detail and perfection, because, as Professor Toth said, what the artist intends to portray in his or her work, may not be so important after all.

When Professor Toth told us to write our names, I also proceeded to write it on the upper left side of my paper.  Am used to doing this from elementary school.  I was real cautious when I was writing it because I didn't know what was the purpose. I looked at the other teacher candidates to see what they were doing, as I did mine.  Once I did the first one, I was more comfortable doing the other signatures; I believe I was more creative.  I really liked the differences in all the signatures. I was able to distinguish between the happy and angry ones. 

Trying to do my neighbors portrait with my signature was very challenging.  I found myself looking hard to try to do the mouth and the nose.  Once I figured out how to do the hair and eyes my picture started to look like a portrait.  It was funny because it really didn't look like my classmate. I believe that we all enjoyed ourselves with this activity because it showed us that a signature has a lot more to say.

No wonder people can tell personalities by how a person signs their name or even write in their everyday handwriting.  For some reason I can't seem to find one specific handwriting style that looks the same in everything I write.  I guess writing and making lines in all the different forms really do connect to the way I'm feeling and that's why it changes so much.  It's really interesting to find a pattern and see just how many hard, deep strokes there are compared to curly, flowy, soft connected forms I have in my notebook.

I was more comfortable experimenting with writing my name.  It is something that I do over and over again, whether I be signing a check or signing my name on an attendance sheet for class.  I remember when it came to loosening my hand and becoming more free and flowing to sketch a model in class, I had a hard time relinquishing that control.  My lines are rigid and my sketches are small in comparison to others sitting around me.  I was less daring.  It felt less comfortable.

My lines were very rigid as well until the professor started telling us to loosen our grips. I then just let the pen flow freely. We as adults are so use of being rigid with our writing. It has to be done a certain way or it will appear messy. But by taking this course, I learned that what we consider messy may actually be considered interesting. That is where the idea of multiple perspective comes in.
