<p>New member here, trying to get some information about the dreaded RISD bicycle drawing for my daughter. The assignment says that the drawing "may be realistic or abstract." However almost all of the RISD bikes we've seen (maybe 25) have been realistic. Some are a little quirkier than others, but none depart the realism mode entirely. </p>
<p>Does anyone know any more about this? If she does a more abstract, personalized, or quirky piece will it hurt her chances? Are they really mainly looking for how well she draws from life? (But then why say it's okay to do abstract?) Are almost all of the bikes realistic? </p>
<p>(Please, no specifics about what your kids drew!) </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
