What you say above is certainly true....the top of the paper is the ceiling, when we are writing movement that is up or down, parallel to the wall. The top of the paper is the corner between the front wall and the ceiling, when we write movement that is forward-up on a diagonal. The top of the paper is the front wall, when we are writing movement that is straight forward, parallel with the floor. It fluctuates depending on the arrow being used..... Val ;-) |
