yes because anybody can read a picture. For example, when immigrants started flooding into the states, since they couldnt read english, they would look at the political cartoons, then they would understand.
Yes, but did they all interpret the cartoon the same? I want you to find some of these cartoons so I can show them in class, lets put your theory to the test!
Eshawn Sharma 7 DDP It is a universal language, cause anybody can look at the picture, and tell what it is. It doesn't matter what country you are from, what language you speak or if you deaf or mute. Anybody can tell what your trying to say. I am not saying it is not gonna be confusing but you can still communicate.
Kevin Pavlidis Per.7 DDP I believe that sketching is a universal language. The reason is that people can look at a sketch and get an idea or opinion on what is appears to be. It does not have to necessarily be what you meant it to be. Words quite often have more than one meaning and words are part of almost all languages. Art, dance, music, and many other things can be interpenetrated in different ways so why can't sketches. sketching is a universal language.
Very good point that words, art, dance, and music can have different meanings but sketching is used to communicate an idea that one person has to others. What do you think?
Jason J. Period: 1 No, I dont think sketching is a universal language. The reason for this is because anyone can sketch something and know what it is but another person can interpret it differently. For example in class when Mr. T drew a wheel on the whiteboard, no one in the class thought it was a wheel. The students had answers like it was just a plane old circle and a bell. This is why i dont think sketching is a universal language.
Yes, for example if you draw a clear picture anyone can understand it. Like a a clear design for a car by Honda anyone can realize that its a car. Some drawings are bad and not clear but some people write bad and no one can understand it as well.
I think that sketching is not a universal language because people have different ideas and see the world differently. If I draw a pencil holder somebody could think its cheese and somebody else might think its a box with holes Eduard Imanov
Akram Alhoribi Per 7 Sketching isn't a universal language because people who come from different places won't be able to understand it. They'll have their own perspective about the sketch. They might have some clue of what it's for, but they won't know for sure.
Ed Wu Per3 No, because it is hard for other people to understand your drawing without any words. Also everyone has a different views on one's drawing, depending on how one is thinking about it.
I think sketching is not a universal language because you can't always figure out what they're drawing. I could just make these symbols on paper, "*&$#@" and say that it's plane. So I don't think its a universal language.
Joe P World of Tech Pd1 Sketching is not a universal language because people can misinterpret the drawing if it is not specific. For example, I thought that bar of soap you drew on the board was a cube, or a wagon.
Joe F Pd1 I think that sketching is not a universal language because everyone will interpret a sketch differently. For example, what you did in class with the picture of the wheel, no one really knew what it was. They only knew what they interpreted it to be.
Preston Wong Pd.2 I don't think sketching is an universal language because in class you showed us the pictures from Egypt and most people didn't know what they were doing in the picture and only the person who drew the picture can understand what was in the picture.
I think that sketching is not a universal language because in class when you showed us the pics of the Egyptians everyone though of different things. Also when u sketched the wheel on the board no one was able to tell wat it was.
No sketching is not a universal language because there are many things that i can sketch that many people wont interpret correctly. i could draw a rectangle in a smaller rectangle and there would be many ideas as to what this would be. Some sketches cannot be interpreted by anyone but the drawer
I think drawing is a universal language because we have evolved from simple drawings to symbols, they are closely related. in most countries the letters of a language is drawing Alex T period 1
Rinki Period 1 World of Tech 1 I think sketching is a universal language. i think so because the words on the sketches could be replaced by another drawing. I agree that few people will interpret differently, but I think people interpret differently in language too, so I think that can't be the reason why sketching is not universal language.
Sketching is not a universal language, because people can interpret the sketch differently. People might look at a sketch and interpret it to be something other than what the drawer intends to display.
Larry Cheung pd.1 WOT1 I think Sketching isn't a universal language. As you showed us in class the wheel you drew, we guess the bell, circles etc. but not the actual sketch itself. I think of it like a universal language only for very specific object. For example if you wanted to show how a spoiler wanted to look like on a car, a professional artist could sketch it. That way the person could understand other than you trying to explain it.
Joel A. pd 1 I don't think sketching is a universal language because everyone looks at pictures/sketches differently. Each person can have a different idea of the picture, and most of the time it isn't even close to the idea that you had in your mind, when you sketched it.
Belal Taher Pd.7 I think sketching is a universal language because everyone has a pretty basic understanding of what you are sketching. They could interpret it wrong, but that is just like any other language. For example, talking to fast is just like a sloppy sketch, both can be interpreted wrong, but they both try to convey an idea.
I believe that sketching is not a universal language, because people can interpret sketches in many different ways. For example, if i draw a circle, one person can interpret it as a wheel, while another person can think it is a ball. -Derek Lee DDP per. 7
Jeremy Tannenbaum prd. 7 I think sketching is a universal language because, no matter where you are from, you can understand a drawing. If someone from the United States draws a sketch of a bowl, someone from China will be able to understand that it's a bowl.
I think that sketching is not a universal language. I say this because sketching is the rough draft of a final product and it's supposed to be unclear. For instance, you showed us your sketch of a wheel in class. Everybody had different interpretations, some people said it was a bullseye and other people said it was an eyeball. However, no one was able to guess that it was a wheel. Everyone has different interpretations of sketching. For example the Rorshach test is used to test people on their interpretations of a picture. I think looking at sketching is kind of like looking at a rorshach test because everyone has different interpretations of the sketch, usually based on their personality.
I do not believe that sketching is a universal language because sketches are too simple and doesn't have details. Also, most people think differently from each other, so any person a circle can be a planet while another say it's a game ball.
Keith J. Period 3 I believe that sketching is not a universal language because Everyone has different perspectives of everything. Even if you make a perfect sketch that explains size and shape. The person that is on the other side can not see materials and also he could look at it as if it is made to do something else so he would use a different way of making it.
I believe that sketching is a universal language because people from all over the world can understand what you draw. Even if some people misinterpret your art, a couple of misunderstandings doesn't mean sketching isn't a language.
Thomas F DDP period 2 Sketching is not a universal language because it is not precise. if you draw a tv people might never figure out that it is a tv. Also sketching is quick and not precise so if you want to build some thing form it you have to redraw it.
I don't think that sketching is a universal language because anyone can look at a sketch and have all different ideas on what it represents. Everyone looks at everything differently.
Arjun L. Period 7 No sketching is not a universal language because some sketches might not be interpreted properly by others. For example, the Egyptians sketched, and many of their sketches are hard to interpret.
Anthony Rosa. Period: 1 No I dont think sketching is a universal language. I think this because what i think an object looks like another person can think differently.
Jacob Mariani I do not think that sketching is a universal language because when you drew that wheel only 2 people in the class knew what it was. If I drew a picture of a pole people would think it was a stick or a pipe and they would be wrong.
yes because...if someone does not know something due speaking a different language, a sketch can give them a clear picture of what u are trying to say. Also if u have an idea that cant be described by words sketching is a good way to show that too.
I think sketching is a universal language because people can get an idea from just looking at the picture and understand whats going on. When I volunteer for therapeutic horse back riding for kids with special needs, we carry pictures around our necks because the children on the horse doesn't know what is going on so we use picture to help them understand.
I do not think that Sketching is a universal language because everyone interprets a picture of drawing to be different. What looks like a drawing of a wheel to someone may look like a target to another. Unless instructed by notes throughout the sketch, sketching alone is not a universal language.
Abel Z. period 1 I think that sketching is a universal language because if someone draws out an idea you would understand it better than if the idea was told through words alone. like maps, Most people are able to understand what it is, even if the map is in another language.
Andrew Lee, World of Tech 1 pd 1 Sketching is not a universal language since one person can draw one thing while another will think of the image as something else. For example, a sketch of someone doing homework may be drawn as books, while another person may take it as reading or studying or something similar.
I don't think sketching is a universal language, because everyone can has different drawing for the same thing. If you are not good at sketching, people might not understand your drawing.
I think sketching is a universal language. If it is the least bit detailed I think it would be able to decipher what it is or means. For example, if somebody draws a picture of a car and shows somebody else, chances are, they will be able to tell it is a car.
