Upside Down
Objective:
To strengthen our right brain's ability to see a representational drawing as lines, angles, spaces, proportions.
Our logical left brain tends to think before it truly observes. Your left brain will say that's an eye, and then you try and think about what an eye is supposed to look like and it gets in your way of truly observing what is going on.
All art is abstract in that it's made up simply of lines, shapes, values, colors, space, and forms. In order to draw representationally it's important to see what exactly those are elements are doing.
Drawing upside down, although challenging, is a way to keep your left brain quiet so your right brain can exercise.
