The NeuroGraphic Line - Intro to NeuroGraphica

[@ExplorewithLoriFerence]

This was a different experience for me with neurographica. When I made my river, it felt somehow tight and constrained. I wasn’t sure I’d finish the piece. Then, I did the rounding and started to feel it was worthwhile, something to complete. It has a sort of intensity to it and a beauty. I will colour it next to see how it unfolds. Thank you for offering a deep dive into the neurographic line. 🙏🏻☺️💖

[@neuroartproject]

I am glad that you stuck with it and that you payed attention to your inner experience. This is really what this method is all about. I would love to see your drawings if you would share in my Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/neuroartproject

Asked about non-dominant hand, because that felt intuitive. No one else agreed with me, now I see it’s a good idea.

[@neuroartproject]

wonderful. yes i believe in following your intuition and trying out everything you feel intrigued by. This exercise is specifically about learning what it feels like. you can then explore the other hand and see if you can find a similar sensation and feeling of letting go with your dominant hand, by for example switching back and forth. Have fun experimenting.

And so my journey begins with you Antje, thank you for sharing 🙏🏻

[@neuroartproject]

very welcome. I am honored to accompany you on your journey.

I've just recently heard about Neurographic Art and this is such a great teaching video for me. Thank you so much for providing this presentation of information. I like the fact that you don't rush through it when you demonstrate and explain it, which gives me a chance to grasp it better. Thank you, thank you!!!

[@neuroartproject]

@rubylee2090 thank you for the wonderful feedback 😀 I'm glad that you enjoy the class. I'd love to see your drawings if you would share in my Facebook group facebook.com/groups/neuroartproject

Thank you so much for your guidance, Antje, and for sharing your knowledge. This has been very helpful.

[@neuroartproject]

thank you for telling me. i really appreciate it 😊

[@bethh1448]

Great explanation. Thank you

[@neuroartproject]

thanks for the feedback :D

[@ShatteredRippleBooks]

Very helpful video

[@neuroartproject]

I'm glad it helped. Thanks for the reply 🙏

Glad to see your video. The guitar hanging on the wall; the neck will warp like that. You can buy a hook or stand.

[@neuroartproject]

thank you 😊 this guitar has been only decorative. we have the real one in a proper case...

[@winterlude100]

This was very informative…thank you. Is there a rule about how slowly or quickly the lines should be made? Maybe i’ve seen too many videos but some people say you should draw the line in 3 or 4 seconds. It doesn’t seem like that would be very in tune with trying to feel what’s going on inside.

[@neuroartproject]

@winterlude100 you can draw as slow or fast as works for you. i always recommend slowing down. the thing that we do for 3 or 4 seconds is the so called "catharsis" which is the scribble or outburst of emotion and energy that we use in some drawings...

[@marychristophi6688]

Wonderful 🎉

[@neuroartproject]

thank you 💕

[@gg1gg2gg3gg4gg5]

I love it. When is your next course?

[@neuroartproject]

all my courses are currently available as self-paced programs with recordings. you can find our more on my website: neuroartproject.net/courses

[@pamjenks8362]

Hi Antje very. interesting, but can I ask after saying to use your non dominant hand , you went back to using your dominant hand again? Thankyou x

[@neuroartproject]

thanks, yes, i didn't mean to draw the entire process with the non-dominant hand (and I'm quite sure I didn't say that either), but this is just something we can experiment with to learn what it feels like when we are not fully in control, and then we return to the dominant hand and see if we can allow it to be just as "uncontrollable"...

[@normeonormeo]

Thank you

[@neuroartproject]

you're very welcome 😊

[@LavenderLori406]

Antje, thank you for this clear instruction. I am right handed and felt like using my left hand to draw my first neurographic lines. Is this a solution for blocks we might experience if trying to control it? I've not seen anything said about this but I know that to be a practice in Betty Edwards' Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. Ha! And even as I finish writing my comment here you are saying to do just that! Sorry, I jumped the gun. So it is on to do it with your non-dominant hand. Thanks

[@neuroartproject]

yes, i like to invite students to practice with their non-dominant habd to experience exactly what it feels like to not control. the goal is to then switch back to the dominant hand and learn to let go of control as well...

hello, sorry i don't speak Romanian, but i think KZbin should be able to create automatic subtitles.

[@danielalancaster8903]

What about drawing the line with your eyes closed, so you can focus on the sensations?

[@neuroartproject]

@@danielalancaster8903 yes, you can absolutely explore drawing with closed eyes. It will help feel it. Eventually I would however try to also draw with open eyes, as it will help learn how to feel your internal world even when you are visually stimulated and your mind follows the lines. what we are trying to do is sharpen our awareness. hope this helps. I'd love to see your drawings if you would share in my Facebook group facebook.com/groups/neuroartproject

[@bethh1448]

Yes, English has same expression exactly
