If I asked a random person in the street to draw a person they'd draw a stick figure. If I asked them to draw the sun, they'd draw a circle with maybe "shine lines" coming out of it. These are a bunch of standard ideograms. My question is: Because these ideograms are based on a visual representation of the object, do all cultures (throughout all time) use the same kind of drawings for the same concept? Or more simply, does everyone use stick figures to draw humans real easy? |
