ABSTRACT

In terms of right and left brain activity — when sketching, the left brain will want you to dabble and analyze, spend a great deal of time on each part, naming them and getting them just so (the so-called reality of things). In contrast, the right brain wants you to get the whole thing down at once — assembling whatever parts it deems necessary to produce a meaningful statement. To the right brain, third dimensional negative space becomes a stage on which to tell a story. The left brain has no concept of space. It sees only the physical, nameable facts. Space would have to be broken down into gases and atoms to be fathomed. The right brain glories in space — space is the matrix in which all life takes place. It is the stage on which all action and drama are expressed.
