Feed back on the drawing cards continues to to inform the project lab. "Hey Andrea - we've been having lots of fun doodling today :-) the prompts are just right. My main observations -- for me, there's a very different mind-set in 'draw a realistic thing' (like 'draw your finger') and the imagination prompts (like 'draw what's on your mind'.) My sons had more 'I don't know what to draw' moments with the imagination ones, whereas the realistic ones seemed to give them less opportunity to 'get in their own way'."

The View From My Table

My table in the project lab was glass-walled and faced out to the main floor of the museum. From there, I could see the hanging whale skeleton, the biodome with rain forest butterflies, and many, many people wandering by or staring in at me. This was the most interesting place I’ve ever drawn anything.

Pop quiz: what kind of skulls are these?

Answer: the skulls I sat underneath for a week while I drew South Pole specimens in the project lab at the California Academy of Sciences. Oh also, most of them are California sea lions. There is one wolf in there that I could find, and there might be others hidden in there too.
