Full Description

B02 Beginner: Drawing on Your Brain has 124 pages, 261 illustrations, and 16 exercises and projects.

Seeing as an artist is not exclusively a right- or left-brain activity, but rather a combination of both. Drawing on Your Brain, the second module in this beginner-level series, offers insightful concepts, exercises, and projects to guide artists toward achieving right- and left-brain balance.

Working toward right-and left-brain balance can also enhance learning in general. Strengthening the right-brain of individuals with dominant left brains can lessen their frustration when trying to understand the conceptual, right-brain aspects of learning. Conversely, enhancing the left-brain functions of people with dominant right brains allows them to more easily grasp analytical, left-brain knowledge.

Designed for art educators in schools, colleges, and universities to replace or subsidize current curriculum, and also suitable for recreational art educators, self-directed learners, and homeschooling families.

Note: With minimal modifications, the Drawspace visual art program is also suitable for educators and students of digital drawing.

Drawing on Your Brain, the second in a series of beginner-level curriculum modules, is loosely based on the following Drawspace lessons:

  • B01 Drawing with Spaces
  • B02 Shapes of a Duck
  • B03 Simple Symmetry
  • B04 Faces and a Vase
  • B05 Blind Contour Drawing
  • B07 Grendel Gremlin
  • B08 Seeing Shapes in a Photo of a Dog's Head
  • B09 Identifying Negative Space Around a Chair
  • B10 Seeing Shapes of a Horse's Head

If you want to teach (or learn) specific skills, each module in the Drawspace Curriculum for Art Educators series is self-contained and specific to its topic title. This being said, curriculum modules in the Drawspace program are designed sequentially. Ideally, you should read each curriculum file in order, doing each exercise and project along the way. Each new piece of information, skill, or technique prepares you for the next. When a module is completed, you move on to the next.
