So I've been studying this book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by guess who....
no really i want you to guess.......
ok- ok i'll tell you Betty Edwards..... oh i already told you sorry i forgot. Anyways she's kind of an art scientist or perhaps more politically correct an art philosipher. So this whole drawing on the right side of the brain thing is a study she did with some of her students and teaching them how to draw. She basically says that to draw well you need to abandon as much as possible the concreat detail side of your brain - the left side and go with the right side witch is the creative and more relaxed side to allow yourself to draw more realistically. Drawing on the right side of the brain allows for a more relaxed and layed back some what nastalgic perseptions of ones surroundings and without the stress of perfection, or impressing others, one is enabled to create freely and things just look better. Any ways i just had to agree with this becaus I personally have noticed if I don't care about how a painting comes out it gennerally comes out good while the more i stress the worst it looks. however that leaves me to ask dose the same thing occur when your writing? while you draw there is a tempoal shift that occurs form left to right that creates a the nestacia that allows one not to care about what they are drawing, at least as far as the way its appearance is concerned, but have any of you expiranced the same shift while you right a piece for the sake of pure emtional expression; spelling or grammer or diction no longer matters and just becomes an automatic thing, so that when you finished your not entirely sure what you wrote until you read it? however when you do its one of the most influencial articals you've written or at least you consider it to be really really good compared to when you sit with the intention to write somthing that was assigned to you, that you have to get a good grade on or use to impress someone with?
