Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 741.2 EAN: 9780874774245 Edition: Rev Exp ISBN: 0874774241 Label: Tarcher Manufacturer: Tarcher Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 320 Publication Date: August 30, 1999 Publisher: Tarcher Studio: Tarcher Editorial Review: Product 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." Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Only for the untalented...Okay, first let me say that this is an okay book only for those who are not an artist or just starting. I had this as a text book(drawing course for graphic design major in a small tech/bus school), and being I've been drawing since I could hold a writing utensil I found it slightly insulting, especially being in a graphic design course. It's really only for the untalented, along yes, I did get something from it the grids...but that's it. Rating:  - I had it for a while...... honestly I did not read it yet, but I did take art classes that were derived from the book, and I was amazed at how some of the techniques (though unorthodox) come out to be pretty good exercises as well as drawings. I just never had the time to continue with them on my own. Not very helpful of a review, is it? well these are my few words, the rest is up to you. Rating: - The Best Book to start learning drawingHi, I purchased this book for my 17 years young son who is preparing for design institute's entrance test. After going through the book I can surely say, " anyone who wants to learn Drawing must first read this book from cover to cover". As this book rightly says " seeing is more difficult then drawing" and the book also teaches you how to observe. I suggest this book for anyone who wants to learn drawing. Rating: - Super Art Book!I purchased this book for my daughter, who is at art school. It is her required textbook and she uses it in unison with a companion workbook-also by Betty Edwards. We found the books on Amazon and the money that we saved was remarkable. My daughter enjoys the Edwards approach to art instruction and the workbook has also been a tremendous help. The workbook was not required, but I purchased it for her based on the positive reviews that I found on Amazon-with Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. ... Read More Rating:  - Good for beginners, but quickly move on!This book does an excellent job at one thing only: it explains how to shift from drawing what you think you see to drawing what you see. And it does that well, providing some helpful practice exercises. As such, I recommend this book to beginners who want to draw well but who feel stuck at the third-grade level. But for anyone who's gotten past that hurdle, I would avoid this book. The cover is telling. It features a drawing made by Edwards herself. It's realistic, but it has no life, ... Read More |
