Can We Go Back to Where We Were? Let's Try Some Drawing!
too creatively with the limited medium they have available as infants… (blech!) But we are all artists of varying degrees. The loss of the willingness to draw, or to try to draw is a big loss, I think.
So, I suggest to you, try a right-brained vacation from the daily grind. Set up a little still-life, you know – a beer can, a flower, a vase, a spoon - take out a pencil, and a piece of paper burglarized from your computer’s printer, get comfortable, and look. Don’t make a mark yet. Look to see. Do you really need to be embarrassed? See. Analyze the shapes: straight line, angular line, curvy line, circle, spot. Easy! You can still draw. You do not need to act or feel embarrassed if someone “catches” you. And, if you can set aside all else, and really pay attention to what you are seeing, you will find that cares and time will pass away, and, when you return to the left-brained mode that you have used for so long, you will feel like you have really taken a break – and you have! The right cerebral hemisphere and the left cerebral hemisphere are separate, and certainly not equal, since we stop training and using the right hemisphere somewhere early in the game… But it is not too late to return to drawing. Drawing requires focus and intensity and practice. Try.
