Drawing on the Dominant Eye: Decoding the way we perceive, create and learn

Description

From the author of the world's most popular drawing instruction manual Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, this new book helps you discover a new way of drawing and problem solving. Betty Edwards reveals the role our dominant eye plays in how we perceive, create, and are seen by those around us. Research shows that much like being right-handed or left-handed, each of us has a dominant eye, corresponding to the dominant side of our brain - either verbal or perceptual. Once you learn the difference and try your hand at the simple drawing exercises, you'll gain fresh insights into how you perceive, think, and create. You'll learn how to not just look but truly see. Generously illustrated throughout, Drawing on the Dominant Eye offers a remarkable guided tour through art history, psychology, and the creative process; a must-read for anyone looking for a richer understanding of our art, our minds, and ourselves.

Betty Edwards is an art teacher, lecturer and bestselling author of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, which has sold five million copies worldwide. She continues to teach her groundbreaking method at DRSB workshops and lives in California, USA. www.drawright.com
