"At first I panicked as I'm not very good at drawing figures and only have done cartoons. My initial attempts were pathetic even nightmarish but Alexandra was very encouraging.
I'm not saying I'm the next Picasso lol but at least I started to enjoy it without being stressed and more importantly even if I don't "make it" it's already giving me an appreciation of how people make art."
"You have two brains: a left and a right. Modern brain scientists now know that your left brain is your verbal and rational brain; it thinks serially and reduces its thoughts to numbers, letters and words… Your right brain is your nonverbal and intuitive brain; it thinks in patterns, or pictures, composed of ‘whole things,’ and does not comprehend reductions, either numbers, letters, or words." From The Fabric of Mind, by the eminent scientist and neurosurgeon, Richard Bergland. Viking Penguin, Inc., New York 1985. pg.1 Learn to see what is in front of you, with a series of drawing exercises tailored to stop the left side of the brain from using a stereotypical visual language in your drawings, and to allow your right side to express itself through intuition.
