Response: First I asked two of my good friends to draw a figure on a piece of paper in any pose. They were very enthusiastic and eager to do so. Tara Iguibashian drew both a girl and a boy both facing forward. Both of their body’s were stick-like but she made both of their faces very detailed, which I thought was interesting. She included details like eyelashes, plump lips, ears and hair. I might conclude from this drawing that Tara believes facial features are very important in distinguishing a person. Tara said she started drawing around age 3 and learned at her daycare. She says, “she’ll never quit drawing!” My other friend Katie Schlobaske also drew a figure facing forward. The figure was waving and looked happy. The figure was also a girl and almost looked cartoon-like. She drew a full body, which included clothes as well. Katie said she started drawing also when she was very young, around 3 or 4 at preschool and says she loves to draw and will always continue doing so. Lastly, I asked my roommate Cate Seago to draw a figure. At first she abruptly declined, but finally she gave in. She drew a stick figure very fast with little detail. She said she thinks she started drawing when she started school around 4 or 5 years old and insists she does not like to draw. She seemed embarrassed and shy about her drawing. I think Cate was a little embarrassed because she was not taught how to draw at an older age or was discouraged to draw in her later years of schooling.
