Part 1

The words at the top of this drawing are saying: "We have all been controlled by the blue screens". What this means for us is that everyone at one point was tempted to watch a screen for hours. Dry eyes are for real to the point that eye doctors always ask their patients if they have dry eyes. So, whether we decide to pass time on the screen all day or go out in nature is up to our decision. 

Part 2

When I turned away from my phone and computer for about six hours, I noticed some changes. I was constantly looking at the wall clock to see what time it was. I could also see and hear my surroundings way better rather than tuning them out with music. Paying attention to facial features enhanced, and the mood in the room seemed to feel alive of course. It taught me that technology can sometimes block out surroundings everywhere, and make time seem to drag. That's why when I am constantly working on stuff, time seems to slip away.

Going Backwards on my day as I recall, I did use my phone and computer until yesterday. Yesterday, I had two studio classes that I did not use my phone and computer for several hours. I was hard at work making art. First class was ceramic throwing one studio.

This is what I was doing in my sculpture class without technology:

As you can see, both of these classes took most of my time. To be exact, ceramic class is 12:30 to 3:15p.m. and sculpture class is 3:30 to 6:15p.m. All in all, it took me 6 hours without a phone or computer.
