I read a study where 25 art students were allowed to view a picture of a landscape picture with an open area surrounded by trees. They were allowed to view the picture for 30 minutes then, an hour later were asked to recreate/paint the picture from memory.

All 25 of the students paintings had oversized the open area in their paintings.

The test conclusion: It show our primordal longing for the savanah.

My conclusion: Trees are harder to paint than open areas. lol.

Paint ~ they had more already mixed for the color of the open spaces.

This proves art students will always take the easiest pathway in a required project.

Great Peanuts strip of yesteryear.

Linus is showing off a drawing to Charlie Brown and Charlie Brown says, "I see you've drawn him with his hands behind his back. That's because you yourself have feelings of insecurity."

Linus retorts (loudly) "It's because I myself CAN'T DRAW HANDS!"

Full Disclosure: I recently saw a picture of Hillary Clinton at some Hollywood event next to Gwyneth Paltrow. Paltrow was braless, in a see-through top. I bet if most people were asked to stare at that for 30 minutes and then re-create it, Hillary wouldn't even appear in their picture :-)

Cheers!
