4. What changes will you make regarding to the reading?
I should teach myself to understand metaphors from now. I do understand them but most of the times, I don't understand when I read poetries. Also, I really suck at drawing but I've learned that drawing come from seeing relations of the objects.

5. What questions do I have from the reading?
-How can you identifiy the negtive space when drawing?
-How can I identify and use the skill of "seeing" the objects?

6. What connections have you made to real life?
-I should start to make connections of using the skill of seeing the objects. Also, I should start to using and try to understand metaphors in my life.
