Full Description
This multi-disciplinary book is written by a student of history who morphed into an artist, a teacher of drawing and painting and a research scientist. The author's painting and teaching experiences prompted multiple questions for which currently available sources had no answer. Working with experts on the psychology of visual perception and the computer modelling of brain systems, he embarked on an investigation of how artists use their eyes when drawing and painting. It was not long before his interests broadened into asking how brains mediate skill and creativity in all areas. Topics explored include the strengths and weaknesses of existing artistic practices, origins of modernism in painting, semantic confusions, the science/art debate, pros and cons of so-called rules and laws, and the meaning of the words 'insight' and 'inspiration', with examples of how these ideas relate to the realms of art, science and everyday life.
