Book Description
Millions of people have learned to draw using the methods of Dr. Betty Edwards. Now, in an essential companion to her bestselling classic, Edwards offers readers the key to mastering this art form: guided practice in their newfound creative abilities.
Here are forty new exercises that cover each of the five basic skills of drawing. Each practice session includes a brief explanation and instructional drawings, suggestions for materials, sample drawings, and blank pages for the reader's own drawings. Also provided in this spiral-bound workbook is a pullout viewfinder, a crucial tool for effective practice. While The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain focused primarily on portrait drawing with pencil, this workbook gives readers experience in various subject matter-still life, landscape, imaginative drawing-using alternative mediums such as pen and ink, charcoal, and conté crayon.
For all those who are taking a drawing class, who have already received instruction through a book or course, or who prefer to learn by doing, this volume of carefully structured "homework" offers the perfect opportunity to reinforce and improve their skills and expand their repertoire.

drawing.......2007-02-03
Companion to reading. A must have for anyone who just likes to draw.
Build Drawing Skills easily.......2007-01-26
This workbook is a great companion to Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. We bought it for my teenage son. It provides nicely guided lessons to give directed practice in drawing. The lessons are laid out well. I like that the drawing area is large enough to encourage exploration and expression.
Excellent Practice Book.......2007-01-25
Buy the text and the workbook, do the exercises and see your drawing improve.
Drawing made easier.......2007-01-16
My grandson and I are just starting to work through this book. He is really excited about it. I think it makes sense! While my grandson is only 12 and this is not a childrens book, with our working together it makes my job of teaching possible. I had not had lessons myself and am learning as I teach. I can't wait for our next session.
Making a difference.......2007-01-10
I would say this is one of those book that just gets your brain moving forward and into new spaces of the drawing dimension. Unfortuately my art teacher in high school never used such a high calibre but easy to understand book, otherwise I would have gone a longer way on art courses. But it is never too late, now is the time to start. I am half way through the book, and I am impressed with my results already. What is most important is that you now know what is stopping you is not "natural ability", but time and effort.
Book Description
illustrated with 12-page color photo insert and line art throughout
A revised and expanded edition of the classic drawing-instruction book that has sold more than 2,500,000 copies.
When Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain was first published in 1979, it hit the New York Times bestseller list within two weeks and stayed there for more than a year. In 1989, when Dr. Betty Edwards revised the book, it went straight to the Times list again. Now Dr. Edwards celebrates the twentieth anniversary of her classic book with a second revised edition.
Over the last decade, Dr. Edwards has refined her material through teaching hundreds of workshops and seminars. Truly The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, this edition includes:
* the very latest developments in brain research;
* new material on using drawing techniques in the corporate world and in education;
* instruction on self-expression through drawing;
* an updated section on using color; and
* detailed information on using the five basic skills of drawing for problem solving.
Translated into thirteen languages, Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is the world's most widely used drawing-instruction guide. People from just about every walk of life--artists, students, corporate executives, architects, real estate agents, designers, engineers--have applied its revolutionary approach to problem solving. The Los Angeles Times said it best: Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is "not only a book about drawing, it is a book about living. This brilliant approach to the teaching of drawing . . . should not be dismissed as a mere text. It emancipates."

Learning to Draw Starts Here.......2007-09-21
Whatever eventual outcome of research into right-left brain functions may be, the fact will remain that drawing is a facility that stems from the spacial relationships that the human brain perceives in the same way that reading is a facility that stems from the abstractions that the human brain makes.
Meanwhile, Edwards uses the right-versus-left theory as a touchstone to good effect in her attempt to instruct the artistic way of seeing to those living in a culture that defines cognition almost wholly in linguistic and mathematical terms.
It is a sad commentary on the state of our education system in the United States -- and indeed, on our whole idea of that which education consists -- that students are not introduced to these techniques in primary school, and well-versed in them by the end of secondary school.
Home schoolers, take note.
The results obtained by students of any age will be a revelation -- not to mention a satisfaction -- to those who take the time to work through Edwards' exercises. The road to becoming an artist -- or perhaps more specifically a draughtsman in the classical tradition -- starts here, with the ability to realistically draw shapes as seen, with a basic grasp of shading and perspective, and with the capacity to draw recognizable portraits from life.
But as others have pointed out, the road does not end here. Far from it.
For an introduction to the would-be artist's road ahead, after instruction along the lines of Edwards' -- with an invaluable discussion of line-drawing versus mass drawing, in light of which, an excellent exercise for the transition from pencils to paint is presented -- check out Harold Speed's classic The Practice and Science of Drawing. For surveys of artistic anatomy and its importance to the primary artistic skill of figure drawing (along with much else), check out Robert Beverly Hale's Drawing Lessons from the Great Masters: 100 Great Drawings Analyzed, Figure Drawing Fundamentals Defined and Master Class in Figure Drawing.
As Hale points out, gaining the skills that the masters had -- of drawing realistic human and animal likenesses, from memory, in accurate perspectives and within compelling compositons -- will take practice, practice and more practice. Around 2000 drawings would represent a good start -- without taking a whole other aspect of art into account at all, namely color.
No small task indeed, but rather, the training required of a profession. (And one for which, according to commentary on a DVD I heard recently, Hollywood, of all places, is crying out.)
For anyone and everyone.......2007-09-14
The original "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" was my text book for high school art class. I've gone through the whole book twice and since used it in teaching others to draw. It is an excellent book for all levels of skill, if you feel that you can't draw or if you have natural talent. The step-by-step instruction and exercises are clear and well researched. This book has been tested and used, and it theories and methods are sound.
Oppinion.......2007-09-12
A good reference book whitch will take a long time to study and achieve my goals
Great book.......2007-09-05
This book is really great. I always thought drawing was pure innate talent,
and that I could never draw faces, but I started reading, practising, and I already feel some improvement.
Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.......2007-09-02
This is a very helpful book. The concept of focusing on negative spaces is especially useful. I learned facts about positioning of facial features that I never would have discovered on my own. With the book's help, I produced drawings far better than I imagined I could.

Hey Baba Ree Bop!.......2003-07-01
Books like this are why cameras were invented.
From the mid-50's to 1960 Carole Reiff took her Rolleiflex into the studios, Jazz clubs, concert halls, dressing rooms, and all-night jam sessions of the great ones. She captured the artists of this period better than any other photographer. There is nothing posed or formal about most of these these shots- the spontineity leaps out at you. These artists were totally at ease like the camera wasn't even there. There is no distracting text to get in your way either- the pictures say far more than any words could. You just get page after page of legends before, during, and after the act of creating their art. It is incredible how many of the greats she had access to: Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday (best shots I've ever seen of Lady Day), Lester Young, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Gil Evans, Sarah Vaughan, Ornette Coleman, Ray Charles, Dinah Washington, Bill Evans, Percy Heath, Ella Fitzgerald, Charles Mingus, Count Basie, Sonny Rollins, Dizzy Gillespie, and so many others. Put on a record and get this book out. It is like they live again- or like you are at a big jam session in the sky.
Of yes, and the introductory essay by Jack Kerouac, The Beginning of Bop, is exactly right to set the mood. It is one long flowing riff of prose poem by a man who understood the spirit of the age better than any other.

Book Description
Cul es el papel de las industria editorial, la televisin, la msica e internet en la integracin de Amrica Latina, en sus nuevas relaciones con Europa y Estados Unidos? Los acuerdos de libre comercio de los aos noventa (TLC, Mercosur y otros) volvieron ms evidente la importancia de las comunicaciones masivas para el conocimiento recproco, la integracin y la segregacin entre las naciones. Sin embargo faltan estudios que permitan valorar este impacto social. Cinco organismos latinoamericanos encargaron doce diagnsticos a especialistas para entender los nuevos vnculos de las inversiones econmicas transnacionales en la produccin cultural y la recopilacin de estos trabajos dan forma a este libro, que ms all de discusiones generalizadas sobre identidad, presenta datos y propuestas para responder qu va a ocurrir con las culturas latinoamericanas en los prximos aos.
