Drawing Out Insight - Part 2

Well, here's part two of the last posting. I'd love to see how you all did and like I promised I said I would post mine.

What I found to be interesting, was how similar the images were in comparison to others. Here are some other examples to compare yours to.


You may notice that while the image you have drawn is broadly similar to the others, it is uniquely yours. Like a snowflake's pattern is broadly similar but yet specifically and uniquely different than all other snowflakes.

In Betty Edward's Book, she further explains the meaning of the lines. The structural similarities in the drawings is what expresses the single concept or human characteristic i.e. "Anger", "Peacefulness."

Line, form and structure "demonstrates that there is a vocabulary of the visual language of drawing."

If you notice the "Anger" lines; dark, jabbing, short, sharp marks, and notice the how they are placed. While they are all similar, yet very different, very individual but all communicating one emotion, "Anger."
So not to completely bore you all,I do highly recommend Betty Edward's book. Visit your local library or buy it. Try this with some of your friends and compare the images. Who knows you may giving new meaning and insight to old emotions.
