Description
Guide Review - The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty EdwardsThe classic book on the concept of left / right brain activity. Written in easy-to-understand terms it explains how this can be used with a set of basic skills to learn to draw. Basically left brain thinking is verbal and analytical. Right brain is non-verbal and intuitive, using pictures rather than words. By consciously using the right side of our brain, we are more creative. Through exercises which build up skills, you learn to access the right brain and apply the fundamental skills of drawing and observation. If you think you havent any talent or cant improve your drawing, take the time to read this book and work through the projects. Experienced artists should read it for the info on getting things to 'flow' and improving perception. |
