EXERCISE 5: SEEING AGAINST KNOWING

We are going to carry out this exercise with the aim of breaking our mental habits, of thinking objects are how "we know them to be".

We are going to try and recover our innocence. Erase our preconceptions.

In this exercise we are going to draw a hand, but we are going to draw it in such a way that at first sight it doesn't look like a hand.

The position of the hand is more or less like what you see in the drawing. See also the photo on the left hand side.
