The new drawing on the right side of the brain / by Edwards, Betty,1926-; Edwards, Betty,1926-;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 279-282) and index .Preface -- Introduction -- Drawing and the art of bicycle riding -- Drawing exercises : one step at a time -- Your brain : the right and left of it -- Crossing over : experiencing the shift from left to right -- Drawing on memories : your history as an artist -- Getting around your symbol system : meeting edges and contours -- Perceiving the shape of a space : the positive aspects of negative space -- Relationships in a new mode : putting sighting in perspective -- Facing forward : portrait drawing with ease -- Value of logical lights and shadows -- Drawing on the beauty of color -- Zen of drawing : drawing out the artist within -- Afterword : is beautiful handwriting a lost art?Helps the reader gain access to right-brain functions, which affect artistic and creative abilities, by teaching the skills of drawing through unusual exercises designed to increase visual skills. This work is based on the premise that the left and right hemispheres of the brain process information in very different ways. In essence, the 'left brain' is logical, rational using words to describe concepts and able to manipulate abstract ideas, numbers and the concept of time. The right brain, in contrast, takes a holistic approach, sensing relationships and patterns, tends to be intuitive and irrational, and has no sense of time. The book includes many drawing exercises, including 'upside down drawing', 'blind contour' and 'modified contour' drawing. A chapter is devoted to negative space drawing. The author identifies the components of the drawing process as five perceptions: edges, spaces, relationships, lights and shadows, and the perception of the whole (gestalt).

Includes bibliographical references and index.With the election of Donald J. Trump, many people on both the left and right feared that America's 240-year-old grand experiment in democracy was coming to an end, and that Sinclair Lewis' satirical novel, It Can't Happen Here, written during the dark days of the 1930s, could finally be coming true. Is the democratic freedom that the United States symbolizes really secure? Can authoritarianism happen in America? <P> Acclaimed legal scholar, Harvard Professor, and New York Times bestselling author Cass R. Sunstein queried a number of the nation's leading thinkers. In this thought-provoking collection of essays, these distinguished thinkers and theorists explore the lessons of history, how democracies crumble, how propaganda works, and the role of the media, courts, elections, and "fake news" in the modern political landscape-and what the future of the United States may hold.
