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)

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)
