It's the third in a series.
The first was a single gourd. The professor put a gourd on the table, had us draw for about 10 minutes, then he moved it. He kept that up for a while, then tagged a student to replace it with a different gourd- every 10 minutes. We kept that up for the rest of the period.
The second was similar to this one, but only moving around the table (no paper rotation) and a much smaller collection of objects.
In all 3 exercises, it is amazing how different everyone's drawings turned out - I doubt anyone would look at two drawings and guess they were of the same object.
ETA: It's been a long time since I've been around teenage males much . . . during the first exercise there was one particularly phallic gourd. Of course one of the teenage males went for that one, posed it in an erect position, then giggled for most of the 10 minutes we were drawing . . . and then made a similarly giggly remark about the life drawing class next door (nude models). I had been thinking of taking that course as another of the 30 studio hours I have to complete - but I'm not sure I want to put up with teenage male behavior around nude models for a semester.
