Beauty in the Ordinary

Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain: Benefits of Learning to Draw


From my favorite book on how to draw:

“Learning to draw… is certainly not about Art with a capital A… The true subject is perception… the larger underlying purpose… how to see in new ways… discover how to transfer perceptual skills to thinking and problem solving…perceptual skills, learned through drawing, can be used for thinking and problem solving in other fields.”

Excerpt from
Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain
Betty Edwards

Creating artwork is one way to become more aware of our visual perception and open our experience to see the beauty in the ordinary.
