Document Summary
The shallows: what the internet is doing to our brains. 40- we progress in other words, from drawing what we see to drawing what we know. Our drawings evolve into something more abstract and sophisticated as we grow older, and this progression is indicative of the way the human brain matures, but i disagree. Artists have to be taught how to see. A child can draw a dog to be a sausage like figure with four legs and a tail because that is what they know dogs to look like. Even the surveyor has to be taught how to see the land in a different way than it first appears. I haven"t actually figured out why this is significant yet. 40- we progress from the infants egocentric, purely sensory perception of the world to the young adult"s more abstract and objective analysis of experience.
