In this episode I dive right into reading and commenting on some excerpts of Betty Edwards' book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain." This is a wonderful book that explains a method for learning to develop perceptual and drawing skills. Charlotte Mason included drawing in the curriculum at the very earliest age, so I'm reading through this book to help shape my methodology and re-acquire my own drawing skills that have gotten rusty over the years . Secondly, I read an excerpt from Francis Bate's article from the PR called "The Fine Arts and Education." I also mention Art Middlekauff's "Nature Notebooks in the 21st Century" from Charlotte Mason Poetry. Enjoy my ruminations upon these ideas!
