Your
Brain:
The
Right
and
Left
of
It
by
Betty
Edwards,
The
New
Drawing
on
the
Right
Side
of
the
Brain:
v1Q1:
Do
you
agree
with
neuroscientist
J.Z.
Young
that
the
right
hemisphere
of
your
brain
isn’t
really
important?
Why
or
why
not?
v1Q2:
Each
of
our
hemispheres
gathers
in
the
same
sensory
information,
but
each
half
may
handle
the
information
in
different
ways.
Which
hemisphere
do
you
default
to
or
rely
upon
the
most?
Why?
v1Q3:
If
students
who
learn
how
to
draw
become
more
“artistic”
and
therefore
creative,
do
you
see
any
use
in
you
becoming
more
creative?
Why
or
why
not?
v1Q4:
What
was
your
education
most
like:
(a)
concerned
with
the
importance
of
intuitive
and
creative
thought
or
(b)
structured
in
the
left-‐hemisphere
mode?
Why?
v1Q5:
Read
the
chart
on
page
44,
using
the
9
characteristics,
which
mode
sounds
like
you,
left-‐mode
or
right-‐mode?
Why?
