A fascinating follow-up to the beloved bestseller Drawing on the
Right Side of the Brain--with new insights about creativity and our
unique way of seeing the world around us
Millions of readers have embraced art teacher Betty Edwards's Drawing
on the Right Side of the Brain, from art students and teachers to
established artists, corporate trainers, and more--all discovering a
bold new way of drawing and problem-solving based on what we see, not
what we think we see.
In this highly anticipated follow-up, Edwards illuminates another piece
of the creativity puzzle, revealing the role our dominant eye plays in
how we perceive, create, and are seen by those around us. Research shows
that much like being right-handed or left-handed, each of us has a
dominant eye, corresponding to the dominant side of our brain--either
verbal or perceptual. Once you learn the difference and try your hand at
the simple drawing exercises, you'll gain fresh insights into how you
perceive, think, and create. You'll learn how to not just look but truly
see.
Generously illustrated with visual examples, this remarkable guided tour
through art history, psychology, and the creative process is a must-read
for anyone looking for a richer understanding of our art, our minds, and
ourselves.
