Activity Five - Sight Unseen

Activity Five has finally been completed and all the first six activities have been accounted for!  Pretty good feat, considering the week I've had but that's another story.

This activity covers the subject of Sight Unseen.  The idea for this subject is to get somebody to choose an object from nature on my behalf.  In this case, I enlisted the help of my daughter, who popped the object into a plastic bag so that I wouldn't see what it was.



Once the object came into my possession at home, I was to dip my free hand into the bag and feel the object, in order to get an idea of what it is intuitively.  Using this intuition, I would then begin to draw the object.  This is what I came up with from the first image:

As opposed to how it really was. 

The difference couldn't be more stark!  Maybe I should use the force more (Star Wars pun).

In saying that, I value the use of intuition, as it guides me in other ways.  Now I can incorporate it more into this form of artwork.



Next activity to follow later.
