History in the making…

I dunno, it kinda just hit me that this drawing tool is something that furture Barbara Millers will be teaching our grand children. It reminded me of some of the drawing aids use in the 18th and 19th century visual aids artists used. After talking to the gentlemen at the drawing center we found out that this apparatus relies on the eyes natural “double vision”(our sight is a combination of to views, one from the left eye and the other from the right) to create a traceable illusion. The artist has about two inches of area in which they can utilize this illusion, hence the size of the size of the paper. The curve of the cage is to keep the surface of the paper an equal distance from the artist’s eyes at all time, eliminating distortion.
