Two students sit back-to-back on folding stools in a museum gallery of African art. One faces a wooden staff topped with a stylized carving of a human head. The other has a pencil and sketchpad.
The student facing the staff describes it to her counterpart, who attempts to draw the object based on her descriptions. They have five minutes to complete a likeness.
"Are there any designs on it?" asks the drawer, a young man.
"It has a head," says the describer. "It has chubby cheeks. There are ears and eyes. It has a hat."
"What kind of hat?"
"It looks like triangle without the point. It has a flat top," she says.
