Thinking through drawing | Andrea Kantrowitz | TEDxEastsidePrep

Drawing, gesture and thinking are intrinsically tied together in our brains. Andrea brings us through some neuroscience and art practices to show that the two are more linked that we imagine. In particular the act of drawing helps us think and might even develop ahead of our intellectual abilities. Andrea then brought us into the artist world and describe the process of drawing a work and how the work talks back to the artist as they co-develop a piece of artwork from the top-down and bottom-up. Andrea Kantrowitz EdD., is an artist, researcher, and educator, and has published, lectured and given workshops internationally on drawing and cognition. Through the Thinking through Drawing Project, Kantrowitz co-organized four international symposia on “Thinking through Drawing,” in NYC and London, along with partners at the University of the Arts London, the Drawing Research Network and The Metropolitan Museum. She holds a B.A in Art and Cognition from Harvard University, a MFA in Painting from Yale, and an Ed.D from Columbia University in art education and cognitive studies. Currently, she is an assistant professor at SUNY New Paltz in Art Education, and has taught foundation drawing at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and art education at Tyler School of Art, Temple University. Her own art work is represented by Kenise Barnes Fine Art. www.Andrea.Kantrowitz.com ThinkingThroughDrawing.org This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
