Why is ART so important to learning? How can educators encourage their students to creatively engage in the classroom and build an environment that will inspire the children to learn along with them? Our 3-hour workshop offers staff and faculty a glimpse into the power of Right Brain creativity so they can see the world around them as it REALLY is.  

What exactly does drawing have to do with work? Most of us navigate life fearful of failing rather than being intrinsically motivated to learn. Drawing is the tool that sets the tone - it levels the playing field, calms, narrows the focus to such a high degree of concentration that participants lose their initial feeling of self-consciousness, that niggling fear of failure that blocks them from trying something new. Restricted lines of communication between members naturally open up. By enabling each participant to focus on what they can achieve this workshop empowers them to understand who they are in relation to their co-workers and to the whole company.

RBR’s emphasis is on the process each participant goes through. By carefully orchestrating what is learned with the pace at which new skills are introduced, the optimum balance between ability level and challenge is maintained throughout the seminar. Action and awareness merge so that participants begin to experience themselves on a deeper level.  How do they process information, how does their brain work, how do they solve challenges?

Let RBR be your bridge to who you REALLY are.

Within a very intense, compressed period of time, participants develop the perceptual skills necessary for drawing by learning to use the spatial, global, nonverbal Right Brain. 

What does drawing have to do with work? Symphony is the ability to integrate disparate pieces, to invent, to grasp the whole picture. One of the most dynamic ways to develop the aptitude of symphony is to learn to draw. The Left Brain reduces our view of the world to labels and symbols. But when the Left Brain is unaware of what the Right Brain is doing, then the mind is free to really SEE relationships and to integrate these relationships into a whole. This is what drawing is all about. But the five intensive days of the Visual Discovery Seminar are not just about drawing, they are about increasingly complex Right Brain exercises that reach a crescendo on that final day when participants learn to integrate all the parts into the BIG picture.

Let RBR be the bridge to that creative symphony inside of you!

* 40 hours spread over 5 full days.
* 3-hour Right Brain Teasers are also available to introduce the creative power of an activated Right Brain.

Day 1
The Perception of Edges

Taught by contour drawing. Training your hand to move with your eye.

Day 2
The Perception of Space

Day 3
The Perception of Relational Angles

Taught by Sighting and Proportions Anchoring the focus.

Day 4
The Perception of Light and Shadows

Taught by Light-Logic. The reintroduction of mass.

Day 5
The Perception of the Gestalt

Integration of the above skills - the BIG Picture.

Visual Journals are ongoing, uniquely personal, multi-dimensional records of our day-to-day experiences. Mundane memos, repetitive reports, crammed calendars and school schedules become resources for innovative collages that interweave words and pictures. Whether the final images are constructed with careful attention to detail or accidentally from the seat-of-the-pants improvisation, the creative process involved in building each visual layer helps you analyze stubborn problems from multiple perspectives and sift through those honest gut reactions from whence truly inspired solutions oftentimes spring.

Working alongside your child brings the added dimension of PLAY, the unexpected, the bonding of a shared project well done!

Behind every successful business is a multi-faceted mythology made up of executives, managers, rank and file.  By bringing to life the company's myths we enable personnel to use these stories to internalize the company’s goals, vision, purpose for being. Why are these myths so hard to realize? Because they lie buried under a mountain of tedious, mundane routines. Embracing the mythological consciousness permits you to step outside your rational, logical Left Brains to discover the persona hidden deep inside you - the tiger, the hero, the winged messenger in yourselves, in your corporate community. 

YOU ARE YOUR STORIES.  You are the company’s mythology. If your organization is to be a productive center, it needs to build on the talents of all its actors. Which facet do you add to your corporate myth? 

Your company myth is the dream of your collective unconscious.

When you contacted us, you immediately became part of the RBR creative culture that is made up of a wonderfully dynamic team of artists / writers / performers / teachers.

What is a “Salon”? A salon is defined as "a gathering of stimulating people of quality under the roof of an inspiring host or hostess, partly to amuse one another and partly to refine their taste and increase their knowledge…”

A salon specially put together by our dynamic RBR team would definitely stimulate, inspire and amuse. Working with you, we will create FUNtastic events featuring provocative speakers, passionate writers, artists, musicians, mind-bending magicians, all on hand through the extensive network of creative RBR talents.
