VALUE OF BOTH LEFT BRAIN AND RIGHT BRAIN LEARNING

McGilchrist tells a story about building a school somewhere in Mexico. Despite their poverty, what the parents requested most was something beautiful as well as practical. This story highlights the learning children acquire from harmony of form and proportions.
McGilchrist beautifully explains the necessity of the left hemisphere of our brain, needed for acquiring our daily bread. But it is the right hemisphere that interprets and explains the world in which we live.
My own study was of the the differences in the right and left brain and our need to appreciate both in dealing with stress and living our daily lives. Therefore, I’m finding new insight in appreciation of my 13-yr-old granddaughter, Kaori’s, watercolors. She asked for watercolor paints for her birthday in June and has been producing an incredible portfolio.
