Year 7 Art Neurographica
Last term the Year 7 students were introduced to the elements of art with a focus on line & tone. They created Neurographica drawings where they were able to incorporate these two elements together to create a harmonious artwork.
Neurographica drawings were introduced by Russian psychologist, Pavel Piskarev in 2014. The idea behind Neurographica art is for the person to embrace a meditative process whilst drawing by not speaking to others & being totally immersed in the act of creating. When this occurs, the rational thinking of the mind is bypassed and reaches into the hidden layers of our psyche. As a result, our unconscious, which is usually inaccessible, is opened up & where new neural networks are formed in the brain. This type of art can also be used as a form of art therapy.
