So, the last piece of homework in this lesson is to draw 8 pages of plants. I was wondering how many plants should I fit in each page. I took a whole A4 page for each of the demos, and I feel like it would be not so nice to draw things any smaller. On the other hand, drawing only 8 plants seems a bit lazy.
What are your thoughts on that?
We always encourage students to draw as large as possible in order to give their brains plenty of space to work through spatial problems. If that means you can only fit one per page, then so be it.
Yes, I've read that. I'm considering using an A3 paper so I can fit two drawings per page.
That is entirely up to you. Remember that the focus of the lesson's homework is on building a body of work for me to review - you're demonstrating what you understand and what you don't understand, so the latter can be clarified and corrected. This doesn't inherently require a huge amount of work, but it does require enough to be able to establish patterns of behaviour.
Thanks for clarifying. I always feel a bit bad when I don't do a lot o pages, as it seems like I'm not practing enough. Anyway, I'll stick to the plan of using A3 paper, since I just bought it.
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
