Antoinette wrapping up a slideshow in South Africa
After she presented a 45 minute slide show in which she discussed the unfolding of her ceramic career, Antoinette poses the question of what will come next in her career.
One of the aspects of art that is often overseen by the general public, is the role that it can play in economic development. Too often it is seen as a non-worthy direction, where, if the artist becomes successful, good for them, but otherwise it is a waste of time and they should find a "real" job.
Betty Edwards, author of the groundbreaking book "Drawing with the right side of the Brain" states in her book that learning to draw ( which implicate any act of artistic creativity), means that the brain makes a mental shift from L-mode to R-mode. The two parts of the human brain has specific functions.
The left brain (which is on the right side of the head) is responsible for speaking, reading, writing, listening, grammar, arithmetic, analysis, logical thinking, reasoning and awareness of time. It controls the right side of the body.
When the thinking process shift to the right brain, important changes in the brain takes place which has a direct influence on behavior and specifically on problem solving skills.
The right brain (which is on the left side of the head) organizes things, see things in context, is the perceptual brain, is responsible for spatial awareness (which includes music and art), it collect visual information, is intuitive, is imaginative, it is the observation sensor and control the left side of the body.
When the left brain works rationally and in sequence, the right brain collect information in patterns and intuitively.
