Knowing the Question

From a very early age, people have marveled at my ability to render images onto paper without losing proportion or line. I couldn't understand why everyone couldn't do it. Later on I learned about how the human brain is divided into two hemispheres. The left hemisphere is the centre for language and elementary deductions. The right hemisphere handles images and psychic hoo haw. Most actions originate on one side but require some interplay with the other side. The popular approach to problem solving is to analyze with the left side and make concrete deductions which lead to an evidence based conclusion. It's very scientific, and continues to be the prevailing, most credible method. This suggests that most people draw their information from their brains' left hemispheres. In the context of image rendering, it's the equivalent of dividing an image into squares and copying it one square at a time. More technical than sensual. And more time consuming than necessary for one like myself. An artist can usually reproduce images without resorting to such means. His hands, guided by the intuition of his right hemisphere, simply know where to go with the magic marker, chisel, or whatever other tool they might be using. An artist doesn't analyze the image. He knows it. Music, I've read, is all over the brain. I'll have to get back to you on that one.
