quote:
ORIGINAL: car2ner I think all us right brained artistic types have moved on. ideally, i think that artists should be "whole-brained" -- i'm not a fan of the [modern] image/ stereotype of the artist as "touchy-feely". in a nutshell, being both involves: ~ left-brain: logical, sequential, rational, analytical, objective, looks at parts ~ right-brain: random, intuitive, holistic, synthesizing, subjective, looks at wholes while contemporary education tends to favour left-brain approaches, there are changes happening (DBAE, Gardner's learning modalities). however, if we were to look at most artists prior to the modern period (c. 1850) i think that our label for artists would be quite different. in fact, i would argue that we would label their approaches and processes as left-brain rather than right-brain. but maybe that's just me... quote:
