Part2(9pics)
Through part 1: blind contour drawing, all the drawings are made in one continuous line. I have seven pictures for the first part, one for my hand, three for a classmate, and three for my objects.
Then from the part2: haptic contour, I continued work on the same products. My partner and I trade each other with three parts in the bag. We feel the edged of the objects without looking inside the sack and draw what I see with my hands. We can easily tell the way how we improved the drawing from part 1 to part 2. The drawings are getting more specific and delicate.
When I first start part 1 to draw my classmate, it was a bit scared, because I can’t see what I draw on the sketchbook. After looking at the drawings I did, every each one piece surprised me. However, I can definitely tell the improvement from the first one to the last one. This project actually helps and teaches me how to get to know something or someone well by putting them in one continuous line. When I just looked at my classmate and did my drawing, I would be really focused on all the details part on her face. When I put my hand inside the bag and imaged how would that object look like, and try to shade it after, then this is the way I could very know something well and pick the missing parts up.
This project connects to my selected text. Here are some great quotes that relate to it.
“The current educational regime is based on a certain view about what kind of knowledge is important:”knowing what,” as opposed to ‘knowing how’.”
“The things we know best are the ones we contend with in some realm of regular practice. ”
“If thinking is bound up with action, then the task of getting an adequate grasp on the world, intellectually, depends on our doing stuff in it. ”
As what Mr. Crawford said, not everyone knows the importance of “knowing how”. The project could definetly tells and teaches us HOW to know something well. Trying to image the thing before you want to exactly know about it.
