Drawing on Right Side of the Brain, Betty Edwards
•
•Verbal knowledge (left brain) gets in the way of visual knowledge (right brain).
•To draw, need to “see” only one view, not canonical, not whole category
•“Visual agnostics” (patients who can see but not name things) copy images very well!) [Palmer 1999] p432
•
Right/left brain distinction not so simple as originally described. But really, location of processes not important for us (not operating on brain, just trying to use it better).

This book and the exercises within it very influential, although many of them in use before Edwards documented them in this  text. (e.g., drawing upside down)
