Carol, your comment that it serves to "get the pencil moving" is probably the crux of its usefulness. I have really never been in a position to be around folks who are "totally innocent" of drawing, much less try to instruct them. I think that would be valid . . . for the first session . . . for about . . . 5 minutes -chuckle-
The "population" of the sessions I attend is comprised of one professor emeritus of art, one retired secondary art instructor, several graduate students, and a few "professional artists". They cling to these five minute poses like a mantra, saying they need to "warm up" . . . perhaps it takes them back to drawing 101 ? I want to know who's cold ??
I wonder how many other "art school" habits are formulaic, yet inefficient?
