 1     Art I’m Passionate About Ryan Brennfleck I used to really enjoy going to the Lowe Art Museum, but nowadays I view most of my art through my social media feeds. This has allowed me to explore artists and mediums I never even knew existed.  A big rabbit hole I've gone down recently is embroidery.

However, in the normal brain, with extensive commissural interconnections, the interaction of the two hemispheres is such that we cannot dissociate clearly their specialized functions. Questions 1. Why do so many children have problems with drawing? 2. What is Edward's theory? Explain 3. Why is the theory more of a useful analogy at this point? Explain ------------------------------------------------ Drawing ACTIVITY Draw a self portrait. Write a lesson plan.
