Vase/Face/Optical Illusion/Dancer?
Today she tricked us. Mrs.Haggerty knew that it would be difficult for us to draw the vase/face when she was saying what the parts of the face were while we were drawing. When she was talking she was assigning words to the parts making it harder to draw them because we had to use the left side of our brain to think about words and the right to draw. When drawing you are supposed to only focus on the right side and it makes it much easier to do. She also showed us a video similar to the one below. It explain in the description about the right side and left side and how they relate to the video and the dancer.
Upside down Man
For this assignment Mrs. Haggerty gave us this drawing by Pablo Picasso but we weren't allowed to look at it. She handed it to us downward and we put it straight into a folder. We called it upside down man because we started from the bottom. We pulled a little bit of the drawing out of the folder at a time and drew each part without knowing the whole image. The purpose was to focus on right brain and left brain functions. She wanted us to be able to draw the man without assigning words to the different parts. I think it came out very well, the only thing that I would change would be his head. Its a little small and I'm not really sure why. I also don't think anyone would notice if they don't see the original. The hardest parts would be his hands and his glasses. When I came to these places I made my sections smaller to pay more attention to the smaller details. Another thing that was difficult was to not go back and change things after I drew it the first time.
