2024 BOOK CLUB

Betty Edwards' Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain

We offer this great program once again after experiencing shifts that took us beyond our drawing exercises into our daily lives. We collectively agreed after doing this work in the fall that we felt more curious and child like to be able to approach life from an open space, unattached to what we believed to be in the past. It truly was a shift in seeing. Betty Edwards delivers great lessons in her exercises and workbooks that help in our craft at life.

We will meet weekly from Jan 8 to Feb 26, 2024 to explore how to feel a shift in the way we think and see.

Original publication, updated or current workbooks are good to use in this program.

Please join us for great conversation and inspiration to create.

Testimonials

I really enjoy my time with all of our painting mates and it's wonderful to learn the new techniques that you present. I also wanted to give a review of the Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain book club that we did. It is one of best things I've done for the development of my arting skills but it also helped me to improve my spatial perception as well.

I learned this as I was parking my car one day shortly after we had finished the book. I've never considered myself good at parking, it was always a struggle for me, but I just pulled straight into that parking spot with such ease it totally surprised me!

When we began the book I felt clumsy doing the exercises, but with the encouragement and support that I got from the group, as well as their sharing of their struggles with it too, I was able to overcome my lack of confidence.

What I love about the book is the way the author gradually takes you into a way of seeing so differently from our normal way of processing what we are looking at. I absolutely feel like my way of thinking and seeing has been expanded and freed from just the analytical labeling that our minds do.

Thanks to you and all of our other club members the experience was fun, moving, self-revealing, and educational to say the least. Thanks so much for the opportunity to enjoy learning in such a supportive and joyful atmosphere.
