Patty-
Couldn't agree with you more! I always tell the kids that " drawing begins
with SEE " and they naturally correct me and say "NO! It begins with D!"
... then the explanation begins. I tell them not to trust their memory,
there are too many things stored there.... just LOOK! Blind contours are a
great way to reinforce this and drwaing without picking up the pencil.
