In an attempt to get us to shut off the analytical, language-oriented left brain, and get into the right-brain groove, Edwards instructed us to copy a line drawing by Picaso, viewed upside-down. The drawing is upside-down in the book, and we were supposed to draw it exactly as we saw it, working hard not try to identify each part we were drawing. Believe it or not, it came out way better upside-down that it would if I had try to do it right-side-up. And, that's pretty much the point of the exercise; get ye self out of ye way, brain, and let ye draw better!
