Book reviews: Drawing on the right side of the brain
Abstract
This book uses as a springboard the studies conducted by Roger Sperry and associates at the California Institute of Technology during the 1950s and '60s, who determined that the two hemispheres of the brain “employ different methods or modes of processing information.” Studies of the left and right hemispheres still abound, appearing in recent national publications and still affecting the teaching of cognitive theory. As Dr. Edwards searched for a better way to teach her students to learn to draw well, she settled on the premise that one can consciously learn a specific set of skills, such as drawing, by exercising the right hemisphere of the brain — the creative side we normally associate with intuition and talent rather than conscious learning.
