Summary:
"Translated into more than seventeen languages,
Drawing
on the
Right
Side
of the
Brain
i s t he world's most widely used
drawing
instruction book. Whether you are
drawing
as a professional artist, as an artist in training, or as a hobby, this book will give you greater
confidence
in your ability and deepen your
artistic
perception, as well as foster a new appreciation of the world around you. This revised/updated fourth edition includes: a new preface and introduction; crucial updates based on recent research on the
brain
's plasticity and the enormous value of learning new skills and utilizing the
right
hemisphere of the
brain
; new focus on how the ability to draw on the strengths of the
right
hemisphere can serve as an antidote to the increasing left-brain emphasis in American life-the worship of all that is linear, analytic, digital, etc.; an informative section that addresses recent research linking early childhood "scribbling" to later language development and the importance of parental encouragement of this activity; and new reproductions of master drawings throughout."--Provided by publisher.
