1. Are you better at visualizing people than objects? Or worse?
What seems to be mentally different?
I’m definitely better at objects than people. Objects are less detailed, I think. What really makes one face different from another is changes in detail, like, his nose is just a bit different in this way, and her eyes are slightly different in this way… so I think that makes it a bit more difficult for most people.
2. Are you better at two-dimensional objects than three-dimensional? How so?
2-Dimensional, but still realistic, like a photograph. I’ve always heard the ability to see in 3d is based mostly on gender, like girls can see better in 2d and boys are better at 3d. That’s why they’re better at video games. And I’m a girl and therefore better at 2 dimensional viewing J
3. Where do you see your image?
For all of them, it’s where ever I saw them last or most commonly. For instance, I see the Starbucks coffee at the stand in South Paw because that’s where I normally get my Starbucks now.
4. Is it out in front of your eyes or back in your skull somewhere or somewhere else?
I see them in my head, on the back of my eyelids when I close my eyes. This sort of visualization is different than the kind I do when I’m trying to visualize something abstract, that I’ve never seen in reality. When I do that, usually the image is further back in my head.
What is brought to bear in these instances is a keen sensitivity to a non-modular perceptivity of sense-data. Why might this be important in your field?
I could tell you if I had any idea what that meant… :P
But I think it means the ability to visualize things without actually seeing them. This would be useful for any art field because you don’t always have a tangible blueprint to work off of. As an artist, most of what we do is based on creative vision that can’t always just be put down on paper.
you did just fine. :)
