We draw in cells on a notebook sheet. Complex graphic dictations in cells for schoolchildren.

Studying with realistic images also leads to the development of other abilities such as improved perception, increased creativity. But the question of whether the science and art of realistic drawing contributes to the development of other skills, and developing those skills allows us to actually draw, is similar to the old familiar philosophical question of whether the chicken or the egg comes first.

"Right Brain Drawing" is not just a way to boost your self-confidence by drawing one portrait. The entire system handles not only drawing, but also painting, how to learn to see and perceive shape, shade and color. An adult has about 75 kilometers of nerves that are distributed throughout the body.

It has been discovered that the human brain contains about twelve billion nerve cells or neurons. More than half of them are found in the bark. Considering that a million corneal nerve cells are connected to groups of only two neurons and calculate the possible number of combinations, we arrive at a figure that the number of neural connections of the brain is expressed as ten increased to two billion seven hundred and eighty-three million.

Try to name the individual colors that each word is written in, regardless of what is written. And what about the other way - to read words regardless of color? The most complex and most perfect product of Mother Nature on our planet - the human brain - is also the greatest mystery in the world! Thanks to his brain and his intelligence, we are the only animal species that interferes with the workings of nature - thanks to genetic engineering, the creation and modification of living organisms. On the other hand, we can also destroy the earth over hundreds of years without reservation to destroy what nature creates over billions of years.

The brain is the most delicate organized matter on earth, a microcosm, deep and unplanned. Although we have gained a lot of new knowledge in recent years thanks to advances in many scientific disciplines, we still only know a small part of its secrets.

Nerve cells - neurons - are created in the human brain only during intrauterine development. Neural connections are made by touching the nails. Not only does one cell communicate with neighboring neurons, but each of them communicates with a number of others. Many neurons have up to ten thousand synaptic beings! The mass of the brain creates an incomprehensibly complex, but absolutely beautifully organized complex.

Experimental testing has shown that if people are trained in areas for which they have no assumptions, they improve quickly. This is the same as with muscle separation. They are not weak because it is their natural property, but because they have not been used or loaded. It was also discovered that once one part of the brain began to become burdened, the rest began to grow. For example, when people who thought that some works were completely foreign to them, they began to intensively learn to draw, improve their attention, become more articulate, increase their speed and correct decision making in stressful situations, their creativity generally improved.

One of the greatest surprises in brain research was the discovery that all subjects' brain function reached approximately the same level. The conclusion was unexpected, but very encouraging for all of us. It has been shown that we all have roughly the same abilities, be it artistic expression or creativity.

We need to wake them up and start using them, allowing them to laugh and apologize for their lack of talent. Everything is in our hands and depends only on our decision. 10% of what we read 20% of what we hear 30% of what we see 50% of what we hear and see 70% of what we say.

“True” drawing - an interview with Betty Edwards, the author of the training system. Drawing with the right hemisphere of the brain. Betty Edwards applied the latest brain research to the instructional drawing methodology and found that it allowed people to rediscover their creativity.

Your teaching system not only helps many people learn to draw and thereby discover their hidden creative potential, but also discover the different functions of both parts of our brain. You recently expanded this system. Recognizing and using color requires significant attention from the left hemisphere of the brain, while perceiving color and color relationships is an area of ​​the right hemisphere of the brain. What happens in the brain when painting is different from what the right brain does when drawing.

It's something like writing, and both hemispheres are more involved. You could make something that only requires five skills: the ability to recognize and observe edges, white space, relationships, light and shadow, and overall image. Then you can draw whatever you want. You can learn to draw very quickly. Edwards: That's what my students talk about. They say that after learning to draw, they began to see the world as if they had different eyes. The world seems richer to them, as if they were not diversity - what is all there is to see is consciousness.

Is most of our reality mostly made up of symbols? In drawing you can slow down, observe relationships, see what they really are. The fun thing when you learn to draw is learning to open your perception and see what it really is.

The brain is a trickster and makes us see what it wants. He won't let us see more than he can afford. So, what we see is not necessarily what really is. Is there a connection between creative activity, such as painting and spiritual activities such as meditation?

Edwards: Drawing instantly transports you to the “real” side of the brain, just like singing or meditating. One of the most amazing techniques you describe is drawing from the head up. Are you observing the boundaries of the left hemisphere? Scientist Irwin Rock published research into human spatial orientation and found that, for reasons still unknown, the brain sees things with its feet on its head differently, in a different context. Perhaps the ability to draw will be born, innate, as well as other abilities that we do not yet know how to use.

Edwards: Yes, including the ability to perceive relationships. The right hemisphere of the brain specializes in the perception of relationships, in any area of ​​​​thinking, be it psychological relationships, business relations and others. What is the origin of research into hemispheric differences?

Edwards Roger Sperry, a psychobiologist from California, published his research in his work caused controversy, but other experiments showed that the right hemisphere is in many areas more efficient and faster than the left because it views visual information differently. In principle, we can say that the left hemisphere operates in a narrow linear current block after unit, while the right brain transmits information immediately, in a package.

How would you describe the characteristics of right-brain experience compared to left-brain activity? Edwards: When you draw or draw, you enter different mental states. Every artist and every author tries to enter a state in which, among other things, it seems to lose time and hear what is happening around.

Do your students learn to draw better - do they also learn better? Within a few weeks this competitive aggression will disappear from the class and the class will work better together and share everything. Research continues into the different functions of the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

Jerry Levy, who worked with Dr. Sperry investigating differences between men and women. A woman's brain appears to have much more parallel activity in the left and right hemispheres. The male brain can work exclusively in the left, verbal hemisphere, and space is perceived on the right. He doesn't mix different sensations, therefore better in tasks requiring quick direct reactions. The downside, however, is that it does not know any advice in situations that require greater adaptability of left-handed linear analysis and vicious visual perception at the same time.

They are either on it or on it. Women are more adaptable, but not as focused. This raises the question of whether these differences are caused by biological influences or arose as a result of cultural evolutionary development? It has been found that the female brain has many more connections between the two hemispheres than the male brain.

Thus, male and female brains differ at both the cellular and psychological levels. There seems to be a lot to study here, but no concentrated studies have been heard. Edwards: Well, research continues. Both at the cellular and structural level, but progress is slow because the brain is so complex. The brain is trying to understand the brain, this is a problem. Perhaps the ideas we have are not just ours. It seems that spontaneous laughter is an involuntary activity of the brain itself - the brain laughs at a joke about itself.

Philosopher Michael Polangi said, “We know more than we know that we know.” It appears that scientists who study such brains are the most resistant to such discoveries. Edwards: The left hemisphere of the brain is very resistant to anything that doesn't suit it. It is symptomatic that the scientists called the hemisphere the “dominant” hemisphere, while the right hemisphere “remained” in the sense of the less intelligent and intelligent left hand. Today's children are visual, image savvy and rebel so much against the slow verbal learning style when it is unbelievable.

Students who grew up playing video games use a fast, global visual style of perception. She hates studying and remembering things she has learned. Among other things, how to study grammar, mathematics, etc. You should study music, drawing, some sports, that is, activities that encourage the right hemisphere.
