The New Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain
This document provides context for the book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards. It discusses how Edwards came to write the book based on her experiences as an art teacher puzzling over why students struggled with drawing what was directly in front of them. Her discovery of Roger Sperry's research on brain hemisphere functions provided insight into how drawing may engage a nonverbal, holistic mode of thinking differently than usual. She revised the book over decades to incorporate what she continued learning about applying brain research to teaching drawing skills.
