in an experiment
run by psychologists or cognitive
scientists, visual art students
are shown to scan a scene
thoroughly, eyeing the most
minute details, equally, while
students of psychology
focus on faces and major objects,
identifying the more obvious
subjects of the scene.
as an art student, when i'm told
to look at the big picture,
it's perfectly normal that i trip
over afterthoughts and stop to
ponder on potential missed opportunities.
things like that pull me from
corner to corner, dragging my plans
and goals through every notable
transition in tonal
contrast and geometric identity.
i look around, for sure, there
may be hardly anything i miss--
the problem is how long
i linger, and where and the
importance of the area so
vehemently distracting me.
