In the workshop with Rob and James at UWIC we did a series of exercises which made us think about 'how' we look, how we observe our subject matter, whether a person or an object, we must begin to identify which area is lightest, which as seen as darkest, and looking at these points will begin to open up the way we look at the subtle differences in the in-between parts, the tones. Also by forcing us in one task to not look directly at our subject but slightly away form them it trained our eye to pick up the essential points to draw, using only our periphery vision it engaged a technique of mapping out the pivotal points. It meant we did not worry about whether the drawing looked like the subject but more whether the simple shapes mimicked what our eye could see.
