You will need a pen, paper, a camera and a phone for this exercise. You can also do this exercise on a mobile device or personal computer.
Draw a canvas; this can be a square or rectangular shape or any other shape of your choice.
In your canvas, draw a polygon enclosed in a circle.
Add another fairly simple image of your choice that almost touches the circle.
Add an alphabet anywhere on the canvas.
Here is my finished canvas below.
Perfect! Good job!
Now for the second part of the exercise.
Write a detailed description of your image and have a friend draw out what you described.You can type your description in an email or text or describe the image over the phone. Once you are done describing the image, have your friend draw and send you the interpreted image. How close is your friend's picture to your original?
Based on the image your friend sends, update your description and have your friend try it again.
Try this with different people, different images, add color, depth, line thickness, perspectives and other variations to consequent images.
If you got a very similar image on your first or second try, let us know about it. Send the image, your description and your friend's replica to wakoseblog@gmail.com. Include "Write Me a Picture" in the title of your email, so we know what the email is about. If you got any other interesting results you would like to share, post them in the comments section below and send your image, your description and your friend's copy to wakoseblog@gmail.com.
