Thoughts about seeing/drawing



Back to the basics here . . .

It is mesmerizing to watch someone with the ability to draw well.  In some ways it is like watching video or cartooning.  What is he saying about our ability to see?

Picture is by Romare Bearden entitled Three Folk Musicians (collage of painted and printed papers with paint).  1967.

  1. Well everybody has a different style of drawing and story behind a picture that they draw.
    Kids as young as 5 draw pictures and have meaning for which us teenagers/adults don't understand, but from their point of view have an intersting meaning or what its displaying.
