I came across a picture of a bird drawn over pages of a book, it made me think back to college and how we would be given tasks to draw or paint things.
Now usually an exemplar of some sort would be put up at the front of the class and before you know it you have about twenty very frustrated girls trying to copy this bird and not quite being able to. This then made me think what if the teacher just told us to draw a bird and put nothing up at the front of the class except for the words "Draw a bird". If the teacher did that what would the birds be like?
We don't need twenty photocopiers or twenty pieces of carbon paper, What we need is twenty different perceptions and ideas.
Art isn't the system, we don't have to suffocate our creativity cause it fits into a circle instead of a sqaure
