Visual Training Part II;

When I was in Graduate School, I taught a beginning drawing class that used exercises from a great book: Keys to Drawing by Bert Dodson. I was thinking of how to train the students to deal with more and more progressively complex subject matter and simultaneously extending the focal length required to draw from. This curriculum (program) was rooted in the concepts of periodization.

The students would draw their hand looking down their fingers.Next they would draw their crossed feet. Then objects on a table some feet away. Then objects across the room. And finally objects more than 5-10meters away.

One of my students (referred to here as JG), was a top level military sniper. JY's percentage accuracy was already quite high, and here is where this gets interesting, he said it was improved to or past the 99th percentile. He was so enthuised that he even suggested that we pitch it as a class for sniper students and get  me a military contract to train instructors how to teach it.

So I am now getting ready to explore all avenues to improve my own vision. The thing I need to do is find a physician who will help me devise the program.
