Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain

DrawRtSide.gif (16941 バイト)
This Workshop is 40 hours long, equal to a full college semester course. It trains you to access the global, visual and non-verbal skills which have been ignored in education up to now.
Dr. Edwards says in her "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain "that learning to draw is just like learning to ride a bicycle or to drive. When you learn the steps involved, you learn it for life, you'll never forget it. Anyone can learn to draw, it doesn't depend on "innate talent".

Participants' Voice

I found myself doing something I thought I could never do, draw. It was very thrilling to me, and my only regret is that I did not take the course earlier. L.Y.Tokyo

I was extremely surprised at my personal result. I now see myself in a different, more positive light, as a creative person who has a lot of potential. N.K.,Tokyo

WORKSHOP

Most important was the instructor's comments that enabled the student to progress through the learning plateaus much faster than he would with a conventional art course. M. D. Tokyo

I made breakthroughs in perception, growing confidence in possibilities, renewed joy in life, as well as learning various art techniques. Thanks for a tremendous time!!! M.Z. Tokyo

This is the first time I felt that drawing was fun, although I went to art school. Everyone on this earth should take this class and gain more perspective on the world. G.H.S. Tokyo
