  <default-description>&lt;i&gt;illustrated with 12-page color photo insert and line art throughout&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A revised and expanded edition of the classic drawing-instruction book that has sold more than 2,500,000 copies.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When &lt;i&gt;Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain&lt;/i&gt; was first published in 1979, it hit the New York Times bestseller list within two weeks and stayed there for more than a year. In 1989, when Dr. Betty Edwards revised the book, it went straight to the Times list again. Now Dr. Edwards celebrates the twentieth anniversary of her classic book with a second revised edition.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Over the last decade, Dr. Edwards has refined her material through teaching hundreds of workshops and seminars. Truly &lt;i&gt;The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain&lt;/i&gt;, this edition includes:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* the very latest developments in brain research;&lt;br&gt;* new material on using drawing techniques in the corporate world and in education;&lt;br&gt;* instruction on self-expression through drawing;&lt;br&gt;* an updated section on using color; and&lt;br&gt;* detailed information on using the five basic skills of drawing for problem solving.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Translated into thirteen languages, &lt;i&gt;Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain&lt;/i&gt; is the world's most widely used drawing-instruction  guide. People from just about every walk of life--artists, students, corporate executives, architects, real estate agents, designers, engineers--have applied its revolutionary approach to problem solving. The &lt;i&gt;Los Angeles Times&lt;/i&gt; said it best: Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is &quot;not only a book about drawing, it is a book about living. This brilliant approach to the teaching of drawing . . . should not be dismissed as a mere text. It emancipates.&quot;</default-description>
