KidsArt Store Entrance | Drawing & Cartooning Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain This classic how-to-draw book has made learning how to draw more rewarding and successful than any previous method. It is based on the way the human brain processes information. Visual and spacial thought processes happen in sections of the brain on the right side of the body...essentially allowing us to see and therefore draw things.  "Before" and "After" drawings show the difference the activities in this book make on a student's skills. The exercises are enjoyable, and can be followed from the book, step-by-step, with fantastic results. What a great way to boost an older student's confidence and enjoyment of the art!

Drawing for Older Children and Teens Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain was designed for adult beginners, and is appropriate for older students. This book by Mona Brookes follows similar teaching methods, and is suitable for a younger crowd. If your drawing student is pre-teen or early-teen, they may enjoy this book more, and can advance to the Betty Edwards' book in a few more years. |
This book is great for older kids and adults...ages 12 and up...who are struggling to draw realistic pictures. This is a common stage where kids get discouraged and often end up dropping art altogether out of frustration. Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain can turn that struggle into joy again. The activities are fun...almost magical in their quality of discovery. Edward's methods help students discover the skills of gesture and contour drawing, positive and negative space, perspective and proportion. |
