>Or Paul Valery: "Seeing is forgetting the name of the thing one sees." Practically a cliche. A great book that puts this to practice is "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain". Some of the first exercises are to free hand copy a line drawing, while the picture you are copying is upside-down. The theory being that the symbol-interpreting portion of the brain then doesn't exert much influence on the drawing. It was pretty amazing to see the difference this makes. Anyone who is interested in learning how to draw, but doesn't think they have the talent should check out this book. http://www.bing.com/search?q=drawing+on+the+right+side+of+the+brain http://www.bing.com/search?q=drawing+on+the+right+side+of+th...
