1 What is the difference between the right side of the brain and the left side of the brain? How is this important in drawing? What are some of the thoughts we should be thinking as we draw? What should we not be thinking as we draw? (Answer this question fully) ______________________________________________________ The right side of the brain uses images and relationships to understand. The left side of the brain uses words and logic. With the right side of the brain we can see things – like we can recognize people – without using words. In drawing we must ignore the left side of the brain that can only use words and logic. Your left side will tell you that it is too hard to draw! When we draw we should not think about “what” things are, but just look at the angles of lines, the shapes, the spaces, the relationships, the darkness and lightness etc – something like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. When we draw we should not be thinking, that it is too hard or about what things ‘are’. We should just be looking carefully.

2 What is negative space? How is this important when drawing?_ Negative space is the space inbetween the shapes of an object and the spaces around an object. For example, the spaces between the legs of a chair. It is very important to look at negative spaces when drawing, if we draw the negative space we will end up with accurate shapes in our drawing.______________________________________________________ 3 What are contours? _____________________________________________ Contours are the lines and edges that we see on things. Contours are the lines around something and also the lines that define the shape of something. Eg, the lines around your eyes, the line of the eyelashes, the line of the eyebrow – these are the contours._____
