I then had one female and one male draw a picture from these lines and these are the two images they came up with:
The paper on the left is the female's drawing and the paper on the right is the male's drawing. This was interesting to me because the girl was excited about the request and spent a decent amount of time on the picture, whereas the guy seemed stressed or nervous when I asked him to do this and he thought about it for a while but didn't spend that much time actually drawing. Does this mean that girls are more inclined to art or creativity?
I'm assuming the girl saw the wavy line and immediately thought water which lead her to turn the other lines into fish and then she added her own details with the bubbles, seaweed, etc. The man's image is simple. He started with the line that looked like a backwards 3 and turned it into a flower and then drew the mountains and said that it reminded him of his cabin in Idaho.
These were interesting drawings to contrast because it shows a pretty significant difference. It's also interesting to compare people's perspectives and to see how different people can see the same thing. For example the wavy line was seen as water and wind, the backwards 3 was seen as a fishtail as compared to a flower...it's interesting to see. The girl is 21 and is a college student and she produced a fun imaginative image. The man was in his mid-thirties and produced an image that depicted his past. The girl created a new, fun, imaginative image and the man created an image that he recalled in his past. This could show that the younger generations have a more creative or imaginative mind and maybe older generations have less imaginative perspectives that cause them to rely on past experiences. Very interesting concepts and ideas come from these illustrations and if anything they show, quite clearly, how individual perspectives are different.
