Draw your own chart with me as we go, it really helps learning the material. Start by drawing an oval or egg shape (pointy end down) for a head, and mark down eight measurements, the last one being the ground. The measurement (ideal male height = eight heads) was set down during the Renaissance as an idealization of the human form. Social space: the social map is fully removed from the sensory details of the environment and as such is purely abstract. The social space (relative power and affiliation of others, the gray stick figures) is referenced to the individual (black stick figure), in contrast to physical space mapping, which is referenced to the environment (see Box 1 for a brief discussion on reference frames). Stick Figures: Drawing as a Human Practice. Dowd, professor of art and American culture studies at Washington University and faculty director of the D.B. Dowd Modern Graphic History Library, writes that drawing is above all else a tool for learning. This beautifully printed book covers drawing as a means of discovery and communication.
