A Diversity of Creatures

Rudyard Kipling

Despite the fact that, as the name implies, they are diverse in nature, most of these stories are affectionate satires with the participation of the social strata into which he belonged and who knew best of all a class of officers from a public school. The Honor of the War was a funny story of hooliganism in which Kipling seemed to fully endorse this practice; Regulus removes the lid from the can; while the Marines were a carefully crafted soldiers practical joke involving a horse and some fireworks

A Drawing Sketch. In the Process of Structuring a Painting II

Jacek Sztuka

To look for answers to some of the above questions, Author decided to conduct research using an eye tracker that records eyeballs movement. Author tested thirty respondents (and heself). The research sample here consisted of young people and experienced artists. Each subject observed a sequence of images. These images were: a value sketch and a color sketch by the subject, a group sketch in which he (i.e. the subject) most often participated in drawing, and a sketch by another author. Each perceived image usually lasted for the previously mentioned six seconds. Then Author asked the subjects to indicate the area in their drawing sketch that they considered subjectively most important. The results of these studies show that the author of a drawing sketch often (although with varying accuracy) actually fixates his gaze on the area that he declares is the most important. When observing a drawing sketch (made collectively), the author's attention is rarely drawn to his own (i.e. drawn by himself) fragment (regardless of whether the respondent is a professional or an amateur). The perception of one's own valuable (although not always black and white) drawing sketch and a color sketch are completely different.
