This drawing exercise is designed to make image connections. In the vase and the face exercise, you will probably find that naming the parts such as forehead, nose, or mouth will seemingly confuse you as your draw the parts. It is actually better not to think of the drawing as a face. It is easier to use the shape of the space between the two profiles as your guide. In right brain modes if you use words to think like, “where does that curve start?” or “how deep is that curve?” then your left brain is intruding with the right brain trying to perceive the object. This is when you need to tell the voice in your head to BE QUIET so that you can perceive the shapes as you SEE them……not as you think you see them. Now click on the following link to do the vase exercise. Follow the instructions of the blog and read the comments about this technique.
