Learn to draw with the right side of the brain

It started in barking library when I found a book that claimed it would teach me to draw with the right side of the brain, at the time I had just started to research the mind and brain anything related in some way got my attention.

The book asked me to complete some basic excersises that would help me to draw what I was actualy looking at instead of symbolic representations. Before and after these excersises there is a remarkable difference, and the state of mind that helped me to draw as well as I did is the main subject of this article.

After spending hours to draw the above images I moved on to the part of the book which talked about left and right side brain activity and the excersises which would make me use the side needed inorder to draw what I was actualy looking at.

The excersises
There were more excersises than what I have put here, the whole book helped in changing my attitude towards looking seeing and drawing more than all of my art classes at school. Sadly I did not finish the book and left traveling in France and Corsica where I continued applying the following excersises and more which gave me good results every time I concerntrated.

Drawing the void

After

The resulting improvement came directly after doing the excersises, even 2 years after I still need to focus and concerntrate on the consepts that the book showed me in order to obtain a better quality reproduction of a given image and I still draw just as badly if I dont.

I soon moved on to different materials Oil and pastels and since then my philosophy of Art continues to grow every day I now have ideas to work on and a book to finish I had rediscoverd the desire to express my self through drawing and representation. This desire and method I had learnt would lead me on to alot more than just learning to draw with the right side of the brain.

After some time thinking about the method of different excersises to use the right side of the brain I realised that the door swings both ways, the left side of the brain could also do with excersises that might help us to perform logical activities like mathematics, and if I apply this to music, juggling, dance, cooking, philosophy will it help to improve performance? Could people who are hopeless at maths improve their skills?
The task we do depends on us being in the right frame of mind. I think that methods could be developed for everything we learn and futhermore they could be as individual as easch one of us.

The experiences of the book and its implications on how the brain mind and body work together are important contributions to my learning systems the state of mind one must achive in order to.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
