Brian Walker's Party Game
« on: December 18, 2014, 04:04:40 PM »
A couple of months ago Brian Walker sent an email to everyone in the Spencerian Study Group which included a little conundrum.  I've shared it with a few people and been encouraged to post it here, which seems like a nice idea since it's the season for party games.  Brian's point related to studying exemplars in the minutest detail and criticising your work accordingly ... which seems to me like sterling advice but this is just a bit of fun for you all.  Some of you will know this picture and others will see what's going on straight away, but please don't blurt out the answer until everybody has had a chance to figure it out for themselves.  :)

Brian said: "I promoted the idea of Looking and Seeing and using an eagle eye to make comparisons between what you write and the exemplar. Take a look at this photograph. A great example of Looking and Seeing".

While it's obviously not a photo of a parrot, it still took me a while to figure it out! :o

Just like when I write, all I see is the mistakes, not the darn parrot!   :-\
