Overview Description of symbol making vs
drawing - right and left side of the brain
modes (betty edwards, p.81) The goal of the
exercises in the first module will be to get you
to shift your way of seeing so that your capacity
to observe and record will be brought to the
forefront, and to enable you to recognize and put
to use this shift. The emphasis will be on
observation, not accurate reproduction.
Materials drawing paper for exercises ( at
