Sometimes at college, when you are in a class filled with 200 people and there are really comfortable chairs and the lights are dim and the subject is less then stimulating, it is easy to drift into dreamland and doze off. I try with all my might to fight this, mostly in my music 101 class. When there are super comfy chairs and the teacher has a melodic soothing voice and the classical minuets of Mozart are dancing around in my ears it is easiest. Or in geology where the teacher is trying to fill an hour and fifteen minutes with the hypothesis that 90% of scientists agree that the climate of the earth has risen in temperature over the past 10,000 years. To try and keep myself awake, sometimes I just take to doodling on my paper. Whatever comes to mind. And everytime it has managed to keep me awake in class. So, either I doodle and stay awake (and listen of course!) or just try and sit and listen and struggle the entire class to keep my eyes open. So I guess I will just share with you some of the outlandish doodles that have come into my head...
While learning about the Baroque Era, I drew a cliff top bridge and campsite and a robot of sorts.
A big blimp and two bi-planes battling it out.
Some mountaintop city connected by a bridge, a tuba, and a driller thingy thing.
Honestly, this one is my favorite and I wish my scanner had got the entire thing. So in every class there is always this suck up who sits in the very front and always asks questions he probably already knows to make himself look better then everyone else. This guy sat in front of me and he is that kid. Always asking the most random questions about music and everyone is like..."Just let the professor teach!" So I drew the back of his head.
In Book of Mormon.. I decided to show the progression of how power got from BYU to a Lamanite temple with a big satellite dish on it.
Haha! Uhhh....Mexican dude in sombrero (I shall name him Escobar) and who knows who that is...maybe a middle eastern pirate of sorts? Almost looks like Nicolas Batum but with no facial hair.
Hahahaha! All of these were really good. I laughed at the drawing of the kid's head! :)
ReplyDeleteThe timeline was very creative, I must say. That's great that you were able to find something to do to keep you awake in class, as well as listening at the same time ;)
