Hope it helps...


PS: Tom is my uncle, I've known him all my life...he is a brilliant man 

I've been to one of his creative workshops in Boston...I was amazed at the

step by step methodical approach to being creative

...Tom has dissected the creative thinking process ....and he has improved

upon it...



Best Regards,

TOny

I am an artist by nature and envy all the programmers here, so it's funny to

see a post like this.  I recommend finding the book "Drawing on the Right

Side of the Brain".  One example is to turn an object upside down, draw what

you see without associating the object with something familiar.  Then turn

it right side up and you'll be amazed how accurate you were.  If an object

is upside down, you force the logic side of your brain to draw exactly what

you see, and the artistic side of your brain is sort of on hold.  i.e... you

are no longer concerning yourself with the familiararity of the object and

drawing it proportionally and accurate, but instead, you are drawing lines

and shapes.   I have to do the opposite when learning programming.  I use

the right side of my brain to see programming phrases as pictures then I can

recall them as pictures instead of words.  (my left side of the brain hurts

if I think logically)


I don't recall the author of the book, but it teaches non artists how to

become an artist.  It's very interesting, and I'm amazed at the results.  I

believe artistic skills can be learned if they don't come naturally.  I also

recommend you take some basic perspective drawing classes as well as shading

and light effects.

> right, I am pretty much a Flash newbie.  I can do most of the basic stuff,

but where I really lack is in the actual design skills.  Having seen some of

the sites listed on this mailing list I am amazed at the quality of the

sites.  I have had no design/art background at all, as I imagine some of you

haven't, but I would like to learn at least a little bit about design/art.

Any of you know any good sites about learning to be, I suppose, more

creative.  You know of any 'art classes' that are on the web?
