More Information
Parents and Educators: Curriculum is based Betty Edwards’ book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. Her systematic method for teaching the perceptual skills of drawing came out of her studies of split-brain function. In the simplest terms, the left-brain hemisphere governs learning facts; the right hemisphere governs perception – how that facts “fit” together.
Thirty years ago, Duke University researchers observed that when art is removed from the curriculum, academic grades decline. The research by Dr. Edwards and others confirms “the arts are essential for training specific, visual, perceptual ways of thinking, just as the ‘3R’s’ are essential for training specific, verbal, numerical, analytical ways of thinking . . . both thinking modes – one to comprehend the details and the other to ‘see’ the whole picture, . . .are vital for critical-thinking skills, extrapolation of meaning, and problem solving.”
Once experienced, this drawing course is easily introduced into the classroom by any public school teacher and can be incorporated across the curriculum to enhance learning (critical thinking), and in creating portfolios and journals.
