Part II of lesson 6: the exercise

In part two of Lesson 6 you'll jump right into applying what you've just learned. Doing the exercises is fun and nails down the lesson.

A mini-history of our bias towards "things".

This is a link from Part I of Lesson 6. A word or two about the "concretization" of Western Culture, i.e. the switch from imagination and fantasy to an "empirical" world - the idea that nothing's there unless it can be touched and how it's reflected in what we talk about and what we perceive.

Lesson 7

You've seen concepts like "format" and "negative space" introduced in Lesson 6. In lesson 7 you'll be introduced to a very helpful tool in your drawing repertoire: incorporating the viewfinder. It's a direct extension of lesson number 6, so try to do this lesson within a week after you did lesson 6.
