Rotating the figure


Over dinner the other night, I mentioned that Temple Grandin, who designs human cattle chutes (thank goodness the computer dictionary read my mind and offered me both words because I spelled is the way the verb is spelled). She claims that she can see a plan of what she wants to build in her head and rotate it to see it from every angle. My son felt that anyone could do that but when he tried to imagine the human figure from every angle, he found it to be difficult. Seeing a standing figure from underneath, in one's head, is the most difficult.

One could imagine my drawing from more angles than one could the painting.
