[ QUOTE ] I also want to take a toll on how many of you (3d graphic/2d artists), are right handed, and how many are left handed. [/ QUOTE ] <maroon5> this - post - is - taking a toll - on me </maroon5> Handedness in art means nothing. There's some evidence that creative/artistic people are more frequently left-handed than…
Erm... the reason you know less left handed artists... because there's less left handed people! (gasp!) This is just silly. If your kid is left handed he'll draw left handed, if he's right handed he'll draw right handed. The only way his creativity will be hindered is if you force him to use the opposite hand that is…
Break his fingers if he tries to draw with anything other then his toes. Seriously it doesn't matter, no, really it doesn't. My brother tried this "be right handed" stuff with my nephews. Try as he might the youngest picked left and the oldest (11) is ambidextrous. He never favored one or the other and practices writing…
what is this, the middle ages? let the kid draw with whichever hand comes naturally. and no, don't ask him. my father is left handed but plays many sports right handed because of societal pressure from when he was growing up. despite the fact that left-handed players in many sports have an advantage, since people aren't…
[ QUOTE ] Now I'm no father and can't tell anyone about raising a child. However, I'll say I never see any plan to "shape" kids turn out to be a great success. When parents decide they want the kid to be a football star or great artist or whatever... tends to backlash. I think the greatest thing you can do as a parent is…
Rhino and Astro ... guys come on those comments are in no way helpful or even worth posting. Becoming a parent is a crazy thing and it's a huge change. A lot of people are ignorant to what to do and what not to do. This guy came here to ask an honest question so let's not flame him for that. Growing up I was right handed.…
I'm a lefty...most lefties are ambidexterous ..I have my wacom on my left side, and my mouse on the right. We were all just born on the wrong side of the looking glass
All i know is, never ever force someone who is left-handed to be right-handed. One of my older brothers was a lefty too, but they forced him to use his right hand in school back when he was a kid. This caused some sort of learning disability and he never really became as good in school as he could have been.
...I think youve mixed up the brain halves...the 'right' side of the brain is the visual side, and is 'wired' to the left hand...so by your logic you should want to teach your child to be LEFT handed. Regardless though, I think the lines aren't so black and white as that. Flip through some wikipedia links on left handed,…
I'm not voting, but the left hand is directly wired to the right brain, which houses most creative functions. The problem with that is you'd have to supply him left handed pencils and paintbrushes...not an easy chore.
