Let every member of the group make a drawing of the room in which they meet, as it looks from the place where they are sitting.
(This does not constitute an art contest, so don't worry if you can't draw as well as somebody else in the group.) Compare the drawings, not as "art," but as reality-tunnels. Does any one drawing seem more "true" than all the others? -
Let every member of the group make an Architect's Drawing (i.e., a floor plan) of the room. Why do these drawings, when finished, look more alike than the drawings from individual perspectives? Discuss.
Which would you consider more "real" — the abstract Architect's floor plan — which shows something nobody ever sees in experience but which all can agree serves a useful function — or the various drawings from individual perspectives, which show the plural "realities" that people actually see, but which have no practical function? -
Oscar Wilde said, "All art is quite useless." Discuss.
