Neurological Development
For this section of the training artists will require a Nintendo DS console
and a copy of Dr Kawashima’s ‘Brain Training’. For up to
½ hour each day, artists will undertake ‘Brain Training’
exercises.
“The pre-fontal cortex is the front section of the brain. It is
essential for artists to fully utilise its capabilities because it is the
source of creativity, memory, communication and self-control.
It is a great honour for ‘Brain Training’ to be part of the Artist’s
Training Programme™. The other sections of the schedule
involve reading and digesting large amounts of information. By regularly exercising
the pre-frontal cortex using ‘Brain Training’, we can insure that
artists are able to retain this knowledge and to manage and employ it successfully
when creating new works for different situations and contexts.”
