Hi Simon, I remember being taught something similar when I was in art school. It was useful- because it instils a discipline of looking. But it shouldn't be definitive.
I think that drawing is something that first puts your eyes, hands, imagination, memory, attitudes, emotions, aspirations, and internal streams of consciousness in conversation with each other - and then in conversation with others. : ) Ruth -----Original Message----- From: Simon Biggs <[email protected]> Reply-to: NetBehaviour for networked distributed creativity <[email protected]> To: NetBehaviour for networked distributed creativity <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [NetBehaviour] some landscapes Date: Mon, 02 May 2011 19:02:41 +0100 The mantra I ask my 11 year old son to remember is that drawing is something you do with your eyes - and the hand follows. When he takes the time, like a day to do a still life of flowers, he can produce exquisite images.
