Why Draw?
Why Draw?
In almost all our courses, students are asked to draw idea they have, or that they have studied. The reason why we ask them to do this is that this makes the student create a physical representation of a concept, something tangible they can see that demonstrates the ideas they're mastering. Without this, and the exercises that are hands-on, study would be nothing but words. Many students need more than words.
When asked to draw, remember (unless you're doing animation) that these are not "art classes". We only want a physical representation of a concept. Stick figures and blobs are perfectly acceptable, so long as the requested idea is clearly there on the page.
