Everything I Can Think Of


Everything that comes to mind about an Etch-A-Sketch off the top of my head. This post is in response to an assignment given to us in our Foundations class. 

  • Serves as a mechanical contraption for creating contour drawings
  • Symbolizes the difficulty in drawing and illustration (especially contour drawing)
  • Represents a very hard learning curve - the knobs are often times counterintuitive
  • Easy to mess up on drawings by making one wrong turn of the knob
  • Can create random and extremely abstract designs
  • Recognized as a timeless kids toy - ultimately Etch-A-Sketch created as nothing more than a toy
  • Some people can create truly remarkable are with an Etch-A-Sketch
  • Mechanical means of drawing translates in some ways to a form of perfection in line quality and stroke
  • Looks goofy
