I taught Adult Ed drawing and painting for 10 years, and I can tell you that most people do indeed draw what they THINK they see instead of what's really in front of them.Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12610068948963465925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-81229871547430288232009-04-02T16:06:00.000-04:002009-04-02T16:06:00.000-04:00Interesting how you see shapes.

Also, changing your perspective will give you a different set of eyes when you are looking at art. Interesting stuff, art! Makes me want to make a quilt!

I wish I was close enough to visit the MET. Lucky you. Looking forward to following you more.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08535613151538197041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-20813776079618801032009-04-02T14:42:00.000-04:002009-04-02T14:42:00.000-04:00This is one of those times I really envy your livi...This is one of those times I really envy your living in NYC. I lived one year in Chicago, and by then I was tired of the big city thing, but oh how I miss the short train ride to the Art Institute and other galleries.

Thanks for reminding of that day!
