Lesson 2 Neo-Classicism and Romanticism____________________________________
Introduction
The Romantic period in Western history is not just an art movement it was a periodroughly coinciding with the first half of the 19th century during which a particularlyRomantic attitude pervaded many aspects of life in Europe and America Sometimespeople hear the word lsquoRomanticismrsquo and they think of romantic love but the Romantic erais not about that kind of Romance specifically Romantics are interested in all types ofemotional experience including love but also fear awe hatred and all other sorts offeelings The Romantic attitude favors drama emotion individuality passion and nature Itis not unlike the attitude that characterized the hippie movement in 1960s AmericaThe Romantic era rejected the very intellectual reason-based qualities of 18th centuryculture and embraced a much wilder more emotion-driven worldview The Romantics feltthat you should listen to your heart and your gut not your brain The art movementassociated with the Romantic era is called Romanticism and it shares all the attitudes ofthe Romantic era in general In this lesson you will look at several Romantic artists andcommon Romantic themes

Discussion Forum
Drawing on the right side of the brain is a philosophy taught by many drawing professors We draw using the left side of the brain (L-Mode) and work problems with the right side of the brain (R-Mode) The theory is that if we cease to see an image as intended it becomes an equation
There is a shift to mathematical reasoning if we see an image as an equation
( L-Mode and R-Mode to designate two ways of knowing and seeing - the verbal analytic mode and the visual perceptual mode)
Turn to page 105 in your text and draw the Vincent van Goghs Man with the head in his hands as you see it Turn the book up-side down and draw the man His feet are up-ward Do not draw the drawing straight -up I will be able to tell the difference Do not peak Take a jpeg of your drawings and share it your class Discuss how you felt as you drew it and how you felt when you drew the drawing up-side down Select one classmates drawing in which the R-Mode transition is most obvious and tell them why

The Romantic period in Western history is not just an art movement it was a periodroughly coinciding with the first half of the 19th century during which a particularlyRomantic attitude pervaded many aspects of life in Europe and America Sometimespeople hear the word lsquoRomanticismrsquo and they think of romantic love but the Romantic erais not about that kind of Romance specifically Romantics are interested in all types ofemotional experience including love but also fear awe hatred and all other sorts offeelings The Romantic attitude favors drama emotion individuality passion and nature Itis not unlike the attitude that characterized the hippie movement in 1960s AmericaThe Romantic era rejected the very intellectual reason-based qualities of 18th centuryculture and embraced a much wilder more emotion-driven worldview The Romantics feltthat you should listen to your heart and your gut not your brain The art movementassociated with the Romantic era is called Romanticism and it shares all the attitudes ofthe Romantic era in general In this lesson you will look at several Romantic artists andcommon Romantic themes

Discussion Forum
Drawing on the right side of the brain is a philosophy taught by many drawing professors We draw using the left side of the brain (L-Mode) and work problems with the right side of the brain (R-Mode) The theory is that if we cease to see an image as intended it becomes an equation
There is a shift to mathematical reasoning if we see an image as an equation
( L-Mode and R-Mode to designate two ways of knowing and seeing - the verbal analytic mode and the visual perceptual mode)
Turn to page 105 in your text and draw the Vincent van Goghs Man with the head in his hands as you see it Turn the book up-side down and draw the man His feet are up-ward Do not draw the drawing straight -up I will be able to tell the difference Do not peak Take a jpeg of your drawings and share it your class Discuss how you felt as you drew it and how you felt when you drew the drawing up-side down Select one classmates drawing in which the R-Mode transition is most obvious and tell them why

Lesson 2 Neo-Classicism and Romanticism____________________________________
Introduction
The Romantic period in Western history is not just an art movement it was a periodroughly coinciding with the first half of the 19th century during which a particularlyRomantic attitude pervaded many aspects of life in Europe and America Sometimespeople hear the word lsquoRomanticismrsquo and they think of romantic love but the Romantic erais not about that kind of Romance specifically Romantics are interested in all types ofemotional experience including love but also fear awe hatred and all other sorts offeelings The Romantic attitude favors drama emotion individuality passion and nature Itis not unlike the attitude that characterized the hippie movement in 1960s AmericaThe Romantic era rejected the very intellectual reason-based qualities of 18th centuryculture and embraced a much wilder more emotion-driven worldview The Romantics feltthat you should listen to your heart and your gut not your brain The art movementassociated with the Romantic era is called Romanticism and it shares all the attitudes ofthe Romantic era in general In this lesson you will look at several Romantic artists andcommon Romantic themes

Drawing on the right side of the brain is a philosophy taught by many drawing professors We draw using the left side of the brain (L-Mode) and work problems with the right side of the brain (R-Mode) The theory is that if we cease to see an image as intended it becomes an equation
There is a shift to mathematical reasoning if we see an image as an equation
( L-Mode and R-Mode to designate two ways of knowing and seeing - the verbal analytic mode and the visual perceptual mode)
Turn to page 105 in your text and draw the Vincent van Goghs Man with the head in his hands as you see it Turn the book up-side down and draw the man His feet are up-ward Do not draw the drawing straight -up I will be able to tell the difference Do not peak Take a jpeg of your drawings and share it your class Discuss how you felt as you drew it and how you felt when you drew the drawing up-side down Select one classmates drawing in which the R-Mode transition is most obvious and tell them why

Lesson 2 Neo-Classicism and Romanticism____________________________________
Introduction
The Romantic period in Western history is not just an art movement it was a periodroughly coinciding with the first half of the 19th century during which a particularlyRomantic attitude pervaded many aspects of life in Europe and America Sometimespeople hear the word lsquoRomanticismrsquo and they think of romantic love but the Romantic erais not about that kind of Romance specifically Romantics are interested in all types ofemotional experience including love but also fear awe hatred and all other sorts offeelings The Romantic attitude favors drama emotion individuality passion and nature Itis not unlike the attitude that characterized the hippie movement in 1960s AmericaThe Romantic era rejected the very intellectual reason-based qualities of 18th centuryculture and embraced a much wilder more emotion-driven worldview The Romantics feltthat you should listen to your heart and your gut not your brain The art movementassociated with the Romantic era is called Romanticism and it shares all the attitudes ofthe Romantic era in general In this lesson you will look at several Romantic artists andcommon Romantic themes

Discussion Forum
Drawing on the right side of the brain is a philosophy taught by many drawing professors We draw using the left side of the brain (L-Mode) and work problems with the right side of the brain (R-Mode) The theory is that if we cease to see an image as intended it becomes an equation
There is a shift to mathematical reasoning if we see an image as an equation
( L-Mode and R-Mode to designate two ways of knowing and seeing - the verbal analytic mode and the visual perceptual mode)
Turn to page 105 in your text and draw the Vincent van Goghs Man with the head in his hands as you see it Turn the book up-side down and draw the man His feet are up-ward Do not draw the drawing straight -up I will be able to tell the difference Do not peak Take a jpeg of your drawings and share it your class Discuss how you felt as you drew it and how you felt when you drew the drawing up-side down Select one classmates drawing in which the R-Mode transition is most obvious and tell them why

Introduction
The Romantic period in Western history is not just an art movement it was a periodroughly coinciding with the first half of the 19th century during which a particularlyRomantic attitude pervaded many aspects of life in Europe and America Sometimespeople hear the word lsquoRomanticismrsquo and they think of romantic love but the Romantic erais not about that kind of Romance specifically Romantics are interested in all types ofemotional experience including love but also fear awe hatred and all other sorts offeelings The Romantic attitude favors drama emotion individuality passion and nature Itis not unlike the attitude that characterized the hippie movement in 1960s AmericaThe Romantic era rejected the very intellectual reason-based qualities of 18th centuryculture and embraced a much wilder more emotion-driven worldview The Romantics feltthat you should listen to your heart and your gut not your brain The art movementassociated with the Romantic era is called Romanticism and it shares all the attitudes ofthe Romantic era in general In this lesson you will look at several Romantic artists andcommon Romantic themes

Discussion Forum
Drawing on the right side of the brain is a philosophy taught by many drawing professors We draw using the left side of the brain (L-Mode) and work problems with the right side of the brain (R-Mode) The theory is that if we cease to see an image as intended it becomes an equation
There is a shift to mathematical reasoning if we see an image as an equation
( L-Mode and R-Mode to designate two ways of knowing and seeing - the verbal analytic mode and the visual perceptual mode)
Turn to page 105 in your text and draw the Vincent van Goghs Man with the head in his hands as you see it Turn the book up-side down and draw the man His feet are up-ward Do not draw the drawing straight -up I will be able to tell the difference Do not peak Take a jpeg of your drawings and share it your class Discuss how you felt as you drew it and how you felt when you drew the drawing up-side down Select one classmates drawing in which the R-Mode transition is most obvious and tell them why

Lesson 2 Neo-Classicism and Romanticism____________________________________
Introduction
The Romantic period in Western history is not just an art movement it was a periodroughly coinciding with the first half of the 19th century during which a particularlyRomantic attitude pervaded many aspects of life in Europe and America Sometimespeople hear the word lsquoRomanticismrsquo and they think of romantic love but the Romantic erais not about that kind of Romance specifically Romantics are interested in all types ofemotional experience including love but also fear awe hatred and all other sorts offeelings The Romantic attitude favors drama emotion individuality passion and nature Itis not unlike the attitude that characterized the hippie movement in 1960s AmericaThe Romantic era rejected the very intellectual reason-based qualities of 18th centuryculture and embraced a much wilder more emotion-driven worldview The Romantics feltthat you should listen to your heart and your gut not your brain The art movementassociated with the Romantic era is called Romanticism and it shares all the attitudes ofthe Romantic era in general In this lesson you will look at several Romantic artists andcommon Romantic themes

Drawing on the right side of the brain is a philosophy taught by many drawing professors We draw using the left side of the brain (L-Mode) and work problems with the right side of the brain (R-Mode) The theory is that if we cease to see an image as intended it becomes an equation
There is a shift to mathematical reasoning if we see an image as an equation
( L-Mode and R-Mode to designate two ways of knowing and seeing - the verbal analytic mode and the visual perceptual mode)
Turn to page 105 in your text and draw the Vincent van Goghs Man with the head in his hands as you see it Turn the book up-side down and draw the man His feet are up-ward Do not draw the drawing straight -up I will be able to tell the difference Do not peak Take a jpeg of your drawings and share it your class Discuss how you felt as you drew it and how you felt when you drew the drawing up-side down Select one classmates drawing in which the R-Mode transition is most obvious and tell them why

Lesson 2 Neo-Classicism and Romanticism____________________________________
Introduction
The Romantic period in Western history is not just an art movement it was a periodroughly coinciding with the first half of the 19th century during which a particularlyRomantic attitude pervaded many aspects of life in Europe and America Sometimespeople hear the word lsquoRomanticismrsquo and they think of romantic love but the Romantic erais not about that kind of Romance specifically Romantics are interested in all types ofemotional experience including love but also fear awe hatred and all other sorts offeelings The Romantic attitude favors drama emotion individuality passion and nature Itis not unlike the attitude that characterized the hippie movement in 1960s AmericaThe Romantic era rejected the very intellectual reason-based qualities of 18th centuryculture and embraced a much wilder more emotion-driven worldview The Romantics feltthat you should listen to your heart and your gut not your brain The art movementassociated with the Romantic era is called Romanticism and it shares all the attitudes ofthe Romantic era in general In this lesson you will look at several Romantic artists andcommon Romantic themes

Drawing on the right side of the brain is a philosophy taught by many drawing professors We draw using the left side of the brain (L-Mode) and work problems with the right side of the brain (R-Mode) The theory is that if we cease to see an image as intended it becomes an equation
There is a shift to mathematical reasoning if we see an image as an equation
( L-Mode and R-Mode to designate two ways of knowing and seeing - the verbal analytic mode and the visual perceptual mode)
Turn to page 105 in your text and draw the Vincent van Goghs Man with the head in his hands as you see it Turn the book up-side down and draw the man His feet are up-ward Do not draw the drawing straight -up I will be able to tell the difference Do not peak Take a jpeg of your drawings and share it your class Discuss how you felt as you drew it and how you felt when you drew the drawing up-side down Select one classmates drawing in which the R-Mode transition is most obvious and tell them why

Lesson 2 Neo-Classicism and Romanticism____________________________________
Introduction
The Romantic period in Western history is not just an art movement it was a periodroughly coinciding with the first half of the 19th century during which a particularlyRomantic attitude pervaded many aspects of life in Europe and America Sometimespeople hear the word lsquoRomanticismrsquo and they think of romantic love but the Romantic erais not about that kind of Romance specifically Romantics are interested in all types ofemotional experience including love but also fear awe hatred and all other sorts offeelings The Romantic attitude favors drama emotion individuality passion and nature Itis not unlike the attitude that characterized the hippie movement in 1960s AmericaThe Romantic era rejected the very intellectual reason-based qualities of 18th centuryculture and embraced a much wilder more emotion-driven worldview The Romantics feltthat you should listen to your heart and your gut not your brain The art movementassociated with the Romantic era is called Romanticism and it shares all the attitudes ofthe Romantic era in general In this lesson you will look at several Romantic artists andcommon Romantic themes

Drawing on the right side of the brain is a philosophy taught by many drawing professors We draw using the left side of the brain (L-Mode) and work problems with the right side of the brain (R-Mode) The theory is that if we cease to see an image as intended it becomes an equation
There is a shift to mathematical reasoning if we see an image as an equation
( L-Mode and R-Mode to designate two ways of knowing and seeing - the verbal analytic mode and the visual perceptual mode)
Turn to page 105 in your text and draw the Vincent van Goghs Man with the head in his hands as you see it Turn the book up-side down and draw the man His feet are up-ward Do not draw the drawing straight -up I will be able to tell the difference Do not peak Take a jpeg of your drawings and share it your class Discuss how you felt as you drew it and how you felt when you drew the drawing up-side down Select one classmates drawing in which the R-Mode transition is most obvious and tell them why

Lesson 2 Neo-Classicism and Romanticism____________________________________
Introduction
The Romantic period in Western history is not just an art movement it was a periodroughly coinciding with the first half of the 19th century during which a particularlyRomantic attitude pervaded many aspects of life in Europe and America Sometimespeople hear the word lsquoRomanticismrsquo and they think of romantic love but the Romantic erais not about that kind of Romance specifically Romantics are interested in all types ofemotional experience including love but also fear awe hatred and all other sorts offeelings The Romantic attitude favors drama emotion individuality passion and nature Itis not unlike the attitude that characterized the hippie movement in 1960s AmericaThe Romantic era rejected the very intellectual reason-based qualities of 18th centuryculture and embraced a much wilder more emotion-driven worldview The Romantics feltthat you should listen to your heart and your gut not your brain The art movementassociated with the Romantic era is called Romanticism and it shares all the attitudes ofthe Romantic era in general In this lesson you will look at several Romantic artists andcommon Romantic themes

Discussion Forum
Drawing on the right side of the brain is a philosophy taught by many drawing professors We draw using the left side of the brain (L-Mode) and work problems with the right side of the brain (R-Mode) The theory is that if we cease to see an image as intended it becomes an equation
There is a shift to mathematical reasoning if we see an image as an equation
( L-Mode and R-Mode to designate two ways of knowing and seeing - the verbal analytic mode and the visual perceptual mode)
Turn to page 105 in your text and draw the Vincent van Goghs Man with the head in his hands as you see it Turn the book up-side down and draw the man His feet are up-ward Do not draw the drawing straight -up I will be able to tell the difference Do not peak Take a jpeg of your drawings and share it your class Discuss how you felt as you drew it and how you felt when you drew the drawing up-side down Select one classmates drawing in which the R-Mode transition is most obvious and tell them why

Lesson 2 Neo-Classicism and Romanticism____________________________________
Introduction
The Romantic period in Western history is not just an art movement it was a periodroughly coinciding with the first half of the 19th century during which a particularlyRomantic attitude pervaded many aspects of life in Europe and America Sometimespeople hear the word lsquoRomanticismrsquo and they think of romantic love but the Romantic erais not about that kind of Romance specifically Romantics are interested in all types ofemotional experience including love but also fear awe hatred and all other sorts offeelings The Romantic attitude favors drama emotion individuality passion and nature Itis not unlike the attitude that characterized the hippie movement in 1960s AmericaThe Romantic era rejected the very intellectual reason-based qualities of 18th centuryculture and embraced a much wilder more emotion-driven worldview The Romantics feltthat you should listen to your heart and your gut not your brain The art movementassociated with the Romantic era is called Romanticism and it shares all the attitudes ofthe Romantic era in general In this lesson you will look at several Romantic artists andcommon Romantic themes

Drawing on the right side of the brain is a philosophy taught by many drawing professors We draw using the left side of the brain (L-Mode) and work problems with the right side of the brain (R-Mode) The theory is that if we cease to see an image as intended it becomes an equation
There is a shift to mathematical reasoning if we see an image as an equation
( L-Mode and R-Mode to designate two ways of knowing and seeing - the verbal analytic mode and the visual perceptual mode)

Lesson 2 Neo-Classicism and Romanticism____________________________________
Introduction
The Romantic period in Western history is not just an art movement it was a periodroughly coinciding with the first half of the 19th century during which a particularlyRomantic attitude pervaded many aspects of life in Europe and America Sometimespeople hear the word lsquoRomanticismrsquo and they think of romantic love but the Romantic erais not about that kind of Romance specifically Romantics are interested in all types ofemotional experience including love but also fear awe hatred and all other sorts offeelings The Romantic attitude favors drama emotion individuality passion and nature Itis not unlike the attitude that characterized the hippie movement in 1960s AmericaThe Romantic era rejected the very intellectual reason-based qualities of 18th centuryculture and embraced a much wilder more emotion-driven worldview The Romantics feltthat you should listen to your heart and your gut not your brain The art movementassociated with the Romantic era is called Romanticism and it shares all the attitudes ofthe Romantic era in general In this lesson you will look at several Romantic artists andcommon Romantic themes

Drawing on the right side of the brain is a philosophy taught by many drawing professors We draw using the left side of the brain (L-Mode) and work problems with the right side of the brain (R-Mode) The theory is that if we cease to see an image as intended it becomes an equation
There is a shift to mathematical reasoning if we see an image as an equation
( L-Mode and R-Mode to designate two ways of knowing and seeing - the verbal analytic mode and the visual perceptual mode)

Lesson 2 Neo-Classicism and Romanticism____________________________________
Introduction
The Romantic period in Western history is not just an art movement it was a periodroughly coinciding with the first half of the 19th century during which a particularlyRomantic attitude pervaded many aspects of life in Europe and America Sometimespeople hear the word lsquoRomanticismrsquo and they think of romantic love but the Romantic erais not about that kind of Romance specifically Romantics are interested in all types ofemotional experience including love but also fear awe hatred and all other sorts offeelings The Romantic attitude favors drama emotion individuality passion and nature Itis not unlike the attitude that characterized the hippie movement in 1960s AmericaThe Romantic era rejected the very intellectual reason-based qualities of 18th centuryculture and embraced a much wilder more emotion-driven worldview The Romantics feltthat you should listen to your heart and your gut not your brain The art movementassociated with the Romantic era is called Romanticism and it shares all the attitudes ofthe Romantic era in general In this lesson you will look at several Romantic artists andcommon Romantic themes

Drawing on the right side of the brain is a philosophy taught by many drawing professors We draw using the left side of the brain (L-Mode) and work problems with the right side of the brain (R-Mode) The theory is that if we cease to see an image as intended it becomes an equation
There is a shift to mathematical reasoning if we see an image as an equation
( L-Mode and R-Mode to designate two ways of knowing and seeing - the verbal analytic mode and the visual perceptual mode)
Turn to page 105 in your text and draw the Vincent van Goghs Man with the head in his hands as you see it Turn the book up-side down and draw the man His feet are up-ward Do not draw the drawing straight -up I will be able to tell the difference Do not peak Take a jpeg of your drawings and share it your class Discuss how you felt as you drew it and how you felt when you drew the drawing up-side down Select one classmates drawing in which the R-Mode transition is most obvious and tell them why

Drawing on the right side of the brain is a philosophy taught by many drawing professors We draw using the left side of the brain (L-Mode) and work problems with the right side of the brain (R-Mode) The theory is that if we cease to see an image as intended it becomes an equation
There is a shift to mathematical reasoning if we see an image as an equation
( L-Mode and R-Mode to designate two ways of knowing and seeing - the verbal analytic mode and the visual perceptual mode)
Turn to page 105 in your text and draw the Vincent van Goghs Man with the head in his hands as you see it Turn the book up-side down and draw the man His feet are up-ward Do not draw the drawing straight -up I will be able to tell the difference Do not peak Take a jpeg of your drawings and share it your class Discuss how you felt as you drew it and how you felt when you drew the drawing up-side down Select one classmates drawing in which the R-Mode transition is most obvious and tell them why

Discussion Forum
Drawing on the right side of the brain is a philosophy taught by many drawing professors We draw using the left side of the brain (L-Mode) and work problems with the right side of the brain (R-Mode) The theory is that if we cease to see an image as intended it becomes an equation
There is a shift to mathematical reasoning if we see an image as an equation
( L-Mode and R-Mode to designate two ways of knowing and seeing - the verbal analytic mode and the visual perceptual mode)
Turn to page 105 in your text and draw the Vincent van Goghs Man with the head in his hands as you see it Turn the book up-side down and draw the man His feet are up-ward Do not draw the drawing straight -up I will be able to tell the difference Do not peak Take a jpeg of your drawings and share it your class Discuss how you felt as you drew it and how you felt when you drew the drawing up-side down Select one classmates drawing in which the R-Mode transition is most obvious and tell them why

Drawing on the right side of the brain is a philosophy taught by many drawing professors We draw using the left side of the brain (L-Mode) and work problems with the right side of the brain (R-Mode) The theory is that if we cease to see an image as intended it becomes an equation
There is a shift to mathematical reasoning if we see an image as an equation
( L-Mode and R-Mode to designate two ways of knowing and seeing - the verbal analytic mode and the visual perceptual mode)

Drawing on the right side of the brain is a philosophy taught by many drawing professors We draw using the left side of the brain (L-Mode) and work problems with the right side of the brain (R-Mode) The theory is that if we cease to see an image as intended it becomes an equation
There is a shift to mathematical reasoning if we see an image as an equation
( L-Mode and R-Mode to designate two ways of knowing and seeing - the verbal analytic mode and the visual perceptual mode)

Discussion Forum
Drawing on the right side of the brain is a philosophy taught by many drawing professors We draw using the left side of the brain (L-Mode) and work problems with the right side of the brain (R-Mode) The theory is that if we cease to see an image as intended it becomes an equation
There is a shift to mathematical reasoning if we see an image as an equation
( L-Mode and R-Mode to designate two ways of knowing and seeing - the verbal analytic mode and the visual perceptual mode)
Turn to page 105 in your text and draw the Vincent van Goghs Man with the head in his hands as you see it Turn the book up-side down and draw the man His feet are up-ward Do not draw the drawing straight -up I will be able to tell the difference Do not peak Take a jpeg of your drawings and share it your class Discuss how you felt as you drew it and how you felt when you drew the drawing up-side down Select one classmates drawing in which the R-Mode transition is most obvious and tell them why

Drawing on the right side of the brain is a philosophy taught by many drawing professors We draw using the left side of the brain (L-Mode) and work problems with the right side of the brain (R-Mode) The theory is that if we cease to see an image as intended it becomes an equation
There is a shift to mathematical reasoning if we see an image as an equation
( L-Mode and R-Mode to designate two ways of knowing and seeing - the verbal analytic mode and the visual perceptual mode)
