  3. Left Brain Right Brain Your inner computer geek Your inner hippie 0101010010101001010010010101001 ‘dude, d’ja see that? ’

  4. As an example, do this exercise • draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Lift your right foot and draw a number ‘9’ in the air…difficult. • Your foot will change direction and there's nothing you can do about it. • This time, lift your left foot off the floor and make counter-clockwise circles with it. • At the same time, draw the number "9" in the air with you left hand. • Which side of your brain is in control?

  5. Color Test - Train your Brain Are you left brained or right brained? Take this test and see how well you do! Your aim is to say what color each word IS, not what color the word SAYS. So if you look at BROWN you would say BLUE. Your aim is to read through them quickly and smoothly, about one a second without hesitation. Can you do it? http://www.fireworkspop.com/colortest.htm

  6. Your left brain gets confused because it wants to figure it out. Your right brain just sees the shapes. It is what it is.

  7. Left brain ‘reads’ it. Right brains sees an image.

  8. Left brain judges, “They can’t all be the same.” Right brain just sees the visual information.

  9. Upside Down Drawing • By turning an image upside down it is difficult for your left brain to label it • But your right brain can SEE the shapes & lines

  11. “Personally, I wanted (my art) to look programmed or impersonal but I don't really believe I am being impersonal when I do it. And I don't think you could do this.” Roy Lichtenstein

  12. They are huge and industrial and look like they might have been mass produced. They reflect the growing presence of commercial images and advertising in the 1960s.

  13. Choose one of the images provided. • Keep it turned upside down • Draw it perfectly (HOWEVER -  you must make it slightly larger or smaller than the image you have been given – in other words, no tracing…duh.) • This may take you several hours to do. • Start now.
