The Art of Creativity

By: Betty Edwards

Narrated by: Michael Toms

Here, the author of the million-copy bestseller Drawing On the Right Side of the Brain tells how to use drawing to tap into the unique powers of the dual brain function for enhancing creativity, imagination, problem solving, and more. She shares how she became interested in art and how visual imaging can contribute to the thinking process. The capacity to create is within everyone, according to Edwards, and she provides a wealth of insight for everyone interested in creative problem solving and innovative thinking.

Retiring as Professor of Art at California State University, Long Beach in the late 90's, she's the author of Drawing On the Right Side of the Brain (J.P. Tarcher 1980) and Drawing on the Artist Within (Simon and Schuster 1985).

Great interview!

Great information about creative thinking and our brain functioning. Great introduction to Betty’s books. I love it.

Wishing schools/educators would hear this

I fully agree that creativity needs to be focused upon more in school. But I’d have to say at work as well.
