Chapter 9: Sentences: Patterns of Expression
- Complete one or two of the drawing exercises listed on this Web page: http://drawsketch.about.com/cs/animalsstepbystep/index.htm
After you complete the exercises, close your Web browser and write a paragraph describing the drawing process you just completed. Then write a paragraph comparing the drawing process itself with the process of writing about it. Refer to at least some of the techniques discussed in Chapter 9, such as expanding sentences by modification, combining sentences by coordination, combining for a purpose, and writing balanced, periodic, and cumulative sentences. Do the drawing techniques you tried resemble any of these writing techniques? In what way? Is Richard Selzer's metaphor, comparing the writing process to creating art, an apt one? Why or why not?
- Take a look at some contour drawings on the Web:

Do these drawings look finished to you? Why or why not? If you were the artist, how would you modify these drawings, if at all?
