Talk:Blind contour drawing

General Discussion

I have expanded and changed some of the details of this page (this is my fist edit). My only real objection was to the idea that blind contour could be a finished art. While it is true that some artists might use it as a method, I have yet to encounter any that uses this exercise as a way to create finished art. This is an exercise about process and not about product. I am going to try to change the photo as well as I do not believe that this drawing is truly representative of the process. I would bet serious cash that this drawing was not true to the process. I have never a blind contour that looks so intact before. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fallstaf (talk • contribs)

I just ran into an artist that uses this technique to draw the lines in finished art, and then colors them in. -- Beland (talk) 17:34, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Evidence for claims

The article makes two claims:

"The left mode of the brain rejects meticulous, complex perception of spatial and relational information, consequently permitting the right brain to take over."
"Blind contour drawing trains the eye and hand to work as a team, and it helps students to see all of the details of the object."

Is there any scientific evidence for or against these theories, or are they just conjecture? -- Beland (talk) 17:32, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
