Applying discoveries in brain research to the teaching of drawing skills. Dr. Betty Edwards presents a set of basic exercises designed to release creative potential and tap into the special abilities of the visual, perceptual right hemisphere of the brain. She is a full professor in the Art Department at California State University, Long Beach, and lectures widely on the relationship of drawing to brain process.
