I think learning to see like an artist means seeing things that most people will not even notice. If I hand a box of 64 crayons to your average eight-year-old and point to a tree and say, "draw that tree," they will most likely pull out two crayons. Brown and green. You know as well as I do that drawing that tree should take 7-10 different crayons to do it right. We know this because we see things in that tree that the average person does not. This is what I think learning to see like an artist means.<br /><br />I think I'll go write a blog post about this. :)Dave Caseyhttp://www.thedailypainter.comnoreply@blogger.com
