The document discusses the book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" and how it teaches perceptual skills. It explains that the book has been revised multiple times to focus on different skills, like proportion and perspective. The goal is to train right-brain perceptual functions by having students do tasks that the left brain rejects, like drawing upside down. This allows the right brain to take over and develop skills like seeing edges, spaces, and relationships. The book teaches that basic drawing and reading skills both develop these same right-brain perceptual abilities. It provides strategies for engaging the right brain, like copying upside images or focusing on negative spaces, in order to improve perception.
Organic shapes are with a natural look and flowing and curving appearance. These are typically irregular and asymmetrical and are associated with things from the natural world.

This presentation talks about the definition of what design is. It also touches on the basics of design thinking. It showcases different types of design and concludes with how you can become and designer and what you would need to study design.
This presentation introduces introductory art and design students to the 5th element of art - color. The color wheel is shown and the color families are defined, as well as important color schemes. A project is outlined to get students practicing with the use of color.

You cannot measure the yield of an ad, but you can design the ad to create the best appeal. Even if the content of a presentation is valuable, you only can reach the attention of the audience when the design is appealing. Kandinsky shows you the way. This presentation is an introduction to Semiotics
Geometry Workshop for the first cycle of primary education which links the contents of Geometry, Math area, with the Arts and Creativity.
This is the first in a series, in which the objective is to relate in a dynamic and motivating way for children, art and creativity with all kinds of different content areas.
All workshops, as well as different topics about Education, will be introduced in my blog-curriculum "The Art of being a Teacher": http://artedesermaestro.blogspot.com.es/
2. The power of perception
The true subject of this book is perception. The lessons help people attain the
basic ability to draw, also, bring right hemisphere functions into focus and to
teach readers how to see in new ways, with hopes that they would discover
how to transfer perceptual skills to thinking and problem solving, called transfer
of learning
3. Original publication in 1979, revised three times 1989, 1999, 2012
In 1989 revision, it’s focused on proposing individuals who had never been able to
draw could learn to draw very rapidly.
In 1999, the revision is focused on the skills of sighting (proportion and
perspective), which is the most difficult component skills to teach in words.
In 2012, the revision clarifies the global nature of drawing and links to drawing’s
basic component skills to thinking in general
4. Drawing does indeed involve thought, and it is an effective and efficient
method for perceptual
training
“If we also teach students right-hemisphere perceptual skills, they will help
students see things in context, see the whole picture, see things in
proportion and in perspective, and observe and apprehend.”
5. Seeing skills
How to perceive ?
Edges
Spaces
Relationship
Lights and Shadow
Gestalt
6. Two vital global skills, reading and drawing
Basic component of reading
•Phonetic awareness (knowing that alphabet letters represent sounds)
•Phonics (recognizing letter sounds in words)
•Vocabulary (knowing the meanings of words)
•Fluency (being able to read quickly and smoothly)
•Comprehension (grasping the meaning of what is read)
Basic component of drawing
•The perception of edges (seeing where one thing ends and another starts)
•The perception of spaces (seeing what lies beside and beyond)
•The perception of relationships (seeing in perspective and in proportion)
•The perception of lights and shadows (seeing things in degree of values)
•The perceptions of the gestalt (seeing the whole and its parts)
7. L-mode, R-mode
Verbal, analytical L-mode
skills as a major function
of the left brain
Visual, perceptual R-mode
skills as a major function of
the right brain
13. People who lose language abilities due to left-brain dementia damage ( 智力受損 )
spontaneously develop unusual artistic, musical, and rhyming abilities, including
drawing ability- skills attributed to the right hemisphere.
14. Vase/ Faces (Chapter 4)
Acquaint us with the possibility of conflict between the hemispheres as they
COMPETE for the task Set up to strongly activate the verbal hemisphere (Lmode) but completion of the exercise requires the ability of the visual
hemisphere (R-mode).
15. Upside-Down Drawing (Chapter 4)
This exercise is REJECTED by the left hemisphere because it’s too difficult to
name parts of an image when it’s upside down. The rejection enables the
right hemisphere to jump into the task without competition from the left
hemisphere.
16. Perception of Edges (Chapter 6)
Forces extreme slowness and extreme perception of tiny, inconsequential details,
where every detail becomes a fractal-like whole, with details within details. It makes
left hemisphere becomes “fed up” because its
too slow for words” and drops out, enabling the right hemisphere to take up the task.
17. Perception of Spaces (Chapter 7)
Rejected by the left hemisphere because it will not deal with “nothing”. Negative
spaces that are not objects and can’t be named. The right hemisphere with its
recognition of the whole (shapes and spaces) then free to pick up the task and seems
to take antic delight in drawing negative spaces
18. Perception of Relationships (Chapter 8)
Force left hemisphere to confront paradox and ambiguity with the angular and
proportional spatial changes in perspective drawing. Because the right hemisphere is
willing to acknowledge perceptual reality, it accepts and will draw what it sees.
19. Perception of Lights and Shadows (Chapter 10)
Lights and shadows in the 3D are infinitely complex, variable, unnamable, and not
useful in terms of language. The left hemisphere refuses the task, which the
complexity-loving right hemisphere then picks up.
20. Perception of the Gestalt (Chapter 11)
Through in recognition of the whole that emerges from careful perception and
recording of the parts (left hemisphere) , all in relationship to each other and to the
whole effected by right hemisphere.
21. Left brain = the great saboteur of endeavors in art
30. The methods have proven empirically successful by
teaching experiences from students and readers
31. Begins with the explanation of the component skill to be explored
