Greetings TIPSters,
In Betty Edwards best-selling book entitled Drawing on the Right Side
of Your Brain, she provides a nice example of drawings produced when
students are given an inverted image as a model. Do any of you know
whether there is research which empirically supports this phenomenon
The right brain/left brain dichotomy is a popular myth - no one is right brained or
left brained unless they have had a hemisperectomy. I would need to know more about
the context of the example to offer an opinion as to whether it is meaningful. But
students need to understand that no person

Indeed, I agree. In fact, I would suggest that the phenomenon is NOT based upon
differences in right brain vs. left brain at all. Rather, it is probably a
differentiation of sensation vs. perception (or at least some subtraction of
memorial/cognitive schema). Artists would say that that occurs

there is a little article about a guy who claims to be able to make
people creative, temporarily, using magnets to turn off conceptual
parts of the brain.

Hi all:
Why isn't there a similar effect when people undergo MRIs? I read
somewhere the units generate a magnetic field 30,000 times stronger
than the earth's magnetic field. What am I missing?
I have to reach back into brain cells zapped by more than TMS
, than with anything else.
As for research, evidence, I know not.

Greetings TIPSters,
In Betty Edwards best-selling book
I think my previous reply was too brief.
I really think that what she does in her class (incidentally she was teaching
at Cal State Long Beach at the time when I took the class) is take students
through traditional drawing techniques.
So we did things like 'negative space' drawings and we did
Well, I think I am using up my 3 postings per day right here and now :-)
There is an excellent segment in one of the Alan Alda PBS series that aired
early last fall that also focuses on the effects of magnets--it's been a while
and the details are not important--but it does seem to be a method
