Currently in my Beginning drawing class we are studying the effects of light on objects.
Light is really just a metaphor of the mind, it allows our brains to tell us what an object is. In this exercise, the image of a shell was projected on a screen, but out of focus, within a 45 min period, the shell came more into focus, and only at about 35 minutes could we tell we were drawing a shell. Doing this forces the artist to pay attention to the difference in value, contrast, and the light instead of drawing outlines with contours.
