Lesson 3: Pyramids

So, this week I added on to what I've been doing in the past couple of weeks. I used a one-point and two-point perspective to draw pyramids. Right now, it seems like Cathy is having me learn to see different objects from different perspectives and different angles. I can see how doing these exercises will help me to draw the things around me.
After my last post, Professor Christensen posed the question of if I thought artists go through a similar learning process like I am. To answer that, I think that at some point artists need some direction. I'm sure a lot of what they do is natural talent, but I'm guessing they get to a point where they have to do some learning. They probably don't have to have the extensive training like I do, but I'm sure there is something.
I have been comparing what I am doing to Jill Bliss in Handmade Nation. Professor Christensen also asked what perspective Bliss draws in and if she has had any prior training. These are two questions that are not answered in Handmade Nation. These are two things that I will research for my next post.
