Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain: A Course in Enhancing Creativity and Artistic ConfidenceThis book can teach you to draw even though you feel you have little talent and doubt you could ever learn. If you enjoy drawing but never have been able to get much beyond a childlike level, this book will show you how to gain the skill you have always wanted. If you are already drawing as a professional artist or as an artist-in-training, this book will give you greater confidence in your ability and will deepen your artistic perceptions. Applying recent discoveries in brain research to the teaching of drawing skills, Dr. Betty Edwards presents a set of basic exercises designed to release creative potential and tap into the special drawing abilities of the right half of the brain. Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain can teach anyone to draw -- well. |
