Today I took a test to find out what happens in my brain. I received the following results.
Left Brain Right Brain
54% 46%
"You are more left-brained than right-brained. Your left brain controls the right side of your body. In addition to being known as left-brained, you are also known as a critical thinker who uses logic and sense to collect information. You are able to retain this information through the use of numbers, words, and symbols. You usually only see parts of the "whole" picture, but this is what guides you step-by-step in a logical manner to your conclusion. Concise words, numerical and written formulas and technological systems are often forms of expression for you. Some occupations usually held by a left-brained person include a lab scientist, banker, judge, lawyer, mathematician, librarian, and skating judge."
Very interesting test!
I am a left handed person. Most interesting enough I am also an ambidextrous. I can paint in real with both hands. I draw and write with my left hand in real but on the pc I can't with my left hand only with my right. I also can't sign a painting digitally with my left only my right. I can't use scissors,throw a ball or bat with my left only my right. I can shoot a weapon with both hands and score a 40 out of 40 hawk eye.
So to me my mind is a bit confused I think at times :)
This test was proof it is almost evenly half confused....lol
The test can be taken at the following site:

Artists Brain and their Creative Dreams
Artists dream most of the time of creating a new piece of artwork. In the following lens you will read statements from artists that research proves many artists create ideas of making a new piece of artwork while sleeping.
In the following lens the following will be discussed:
-- What are artists dreams like?
--Do artists sleep a normal 8 hours?
--Do artists create during their time of sleep?
Artists dreams can vary according each individual.
Lets begin by finding out from various artists all over the world to find out what there dreams are like, if they sleep a normal 8 hours, and if they create while dreaming.
Meet the first artist she is a Fine Artist from Vaughan, ON - Canada her name is Olga Hutsul. Olga artistic talents include digital art and photography.
If you were to ask me Angela Chumroo the following question: "How do you view Olga as an artist?" I would have to answer," Olga's arts are extraordinary. Much defined like the constant walk through many dreams her art depicts a world of imagination and fantasy. She is a wonderful artist and her art definitely expresses her closeness with her subconscious side."
When I asked Olga to explain to me what her dreams are like this is what she stated to me. "that is an interesting subject.
Dreams allow us to get in touch with our subconscious side of which we are not quite aware.
I am always trying to pay attention to the symbols that are encoded in my dreams. It becomes a really interesting exercise.
It is still a puzzle for me to even imagine how those complex scenes and visions are put together - my dreams are truly are worlds of their own with details, colors, sounds, unusual structures. Some people say that it is elements of something that we have seen in reality that feeds our imagination, and it constructed something new out of known elements. Well in one of my dreams I was a hunting dog (not that unusual of a character) but what was unusual is that I could see the landscape from the eye-level of a dog, including the legs of the horse that I was following (and you know it is very important to stay away from the hoofs, and slightly to the front, not to get entangled in the horse's tail). Until then I was not consciously aware that there could be a level of view different than you usually see and know yourself. When in another dream I was a knight, I was constantly bothered by the rain water that was dripping from my helmet right underneath the armour vest, very unpleasant. When I visited museums since since I started paying attention to the little detail - the edge of the helmet at the back -and more sophisticated ones actually have the ledge that protects your neck... As any modern human being, I could never have a imagined what to look for when you choosing a helmet. Well now I know.
Too bad that by very trying to remember the dream, we often ruin it. We are trying to find logic, or end or beginning where there is none - it is pure associations, impressions, reactions of our brain to real life events the secret is simply to follow them. The moment we begin describing them we try to translate them into narrative that obeys the rules of the world we know."
"Zebra came into this picture from my dream. And now I can not imagine what could have been better fitting here than an animal colored black and white - good and evil. I don't think I could have arrived at this idea consciously. I am a much better dreamer than an artist..."
Here is another piece of Olga's I would love to share. She is a great dreamer.
Now I will introduce you to one of my dearest friends Laurette Escobar a Fine Artist from Corpus Christi, TX - United States. She is an artist whom is passionate about the freedom of art. Her work is work is inspired by color, emotion and subject.
When asked "What are your dreams like?" Laurette replied,"I dreamt that the curly loo shoe were attacked when the laces of dawn rose in the sky.I have a way with insanity, I've been told."
For me her way of insanity is well cherished by those of the art family like myself who love her smiling face, artworks, and creativity.
Here is just a small taste of her great talents:
Richard Rizzo located in Bushnell, Florida - United States is a Fine Artist. Much of his life he has been a self taught artist. His great talents have caused digital art to become Richard's most creative outlet.
Referring to his dreams Richard explains"As far as ideas go..some of my best ideas for designs come from my dreams and also when I'm just relaxed but not asleep.
In general my dreams can seem surreal, like part of a story and at times not even me being myself, most of the time I can remember them when I awake while other dreams seem to be forgotten very quickly.
I also found that if there is a problem that needs to be resolved in my personal (or business) life I can usually come up with a solution in my dreams, most likely from having it being on my mind the whole day before. As far as controlling dreams as mentioned in another thread, I have no clue how to do that.
Generally if I awake early from a dream with an idea in mind then most of the time I won't go back to sleep.
In closing.. I sleep about 6-7 hours a night and sometimes take a quick catnap during the day. :-)"
Here are a few of his many wonderful pieces:
Kevin Callahan a fine artist from Parkville, Mo - United States who enjoys working with acrylic, watercolor and digital photo format.
To explain what Kevin's dreams are like he states," Yes, I often do create while I sleep and dream. I had a painting started on canvas with the lines drawn,. That night I "painted" it in my sleep."
A few of his pieces I wish to share here are:
Let me introduce you to a Fine Artist from San Tan Valley, AZ of the United States her name is Carla Carson. Carla favors drawing.
When asked what Carla's dreams are like and does she create during dreaming she stated,"y dreams more often than not attribute to my creativity. But not in so much my art but more so in music & poetry!!! I have to keep a pen & paper next to the bed, as I wake up with a poem or a song I never heard. The songs make me sad as I cannot read or write music. The voices singing them are incredible & nothing I have ever heard. My dreams are very intense as I usually dream of what I feel so strongly about in my waking life. So I guess in a way they are the driving force behind my drawings. I like to capture feelings & emotions in my portraits & renderings, & it is usually how I feel at the time when doing them. "
As one can see she definitely expresses a great amount of emotions in her drawings rendered from her dreams.
Linda Sannuti states, "I dream awake and create :)" . Linda is a fine artist from Sicklerville, NJ United States. Her specialties include digital art.
Here are some examples of how she dreams awake and expresses here creative mind.
Michael Peychich located in Madison Heights, MI of the United States. Michael has a unique talent for being a very successful photographer. The art of his photography and the ability to dream first of a photograph then later find it is a well combined success which is greatly shown in all of his work.
"Rarely do I sleep more than 3 1/2 hours at a time. When I wake, I work on my art for 2-3 hours then sleep for about 2 more. I often dream about shooting images here is on I dreamed about on a friday night then shot it Saturday morning. "
Let's meet Elizabeth Lane she lives in Farmersville, TX United States. As a painter she often dreams of her next painting.
Her dreams can be described in the following statement from here,"I usually sleep 6 to 7 hours a night, on weekends and days I am not working, I will sleep 8 or even 9. I am often too keyed up at night to go to sleep.I dream about my next paintings......sometimes in that half-awake, half-asleep state. It is as if the painting's image is affixed on the under-sde of my eye-lids and I definitely dream in color. Sometimes the image appears in a split second, with scarcely enough time to note the details. I get up the next morning and sketch them from memory, lest they be lost. My dream paintings are going to be my next body of work and pretty much of a total departure from the usual genre. These future works have more people in them, as they appeared in my dream: Harlequins, the ice queen, dancers in a dust-haze......I can't wait to get started. "
As the sun sets and starts to rest its eyes the artists eyes begin to venture into a world of dreamland. A land of which an artist is known for some of their best creations.
Much like being tugged from one side to the next the mind loves to alter an artist sleep. Like flipping thru the channels on a television an artists mind constantly flips thru ideas of their next creation.
Well let's just begin by jumping into the dream with an artist Dianne Connolly she is a fine artist from Kaitaia, No New Zealand who specializes in vibrant colored paintings and much more.
Her dreams are explained by her, "Most of my dreams leave me disturbed and worn out like I've run a marathon for the 8-9 hrs I average a night. I've never dreamed about actually being in the process of painting while dreaming but on waking I can be driven to paint in order to expiate feelings of horror or intense fear. Since I was 4yrs old I've been chased by hungry wolves and my favorite book back then was The '3 Little Pigs' so is it any wonder.
The feelings and expressive colors Diane uses in her paintings are outstanding. Over all she leaves a viewer with an eye that seeks to return for another glimpse and with a mind wondering was she dreaming at the time she created this one.
Cristopher Ernest with a wide variety of work from paintings to drawing to digital art he is fine artist from Colorado Springs, CO - United States.
"When i'm awake i dream i'm sleeping and visa versa,......somewhere in there i get some work done.And when i don't get something done,......i dream i did. "
Cristopher is quit the dreamer and brings out some very interesting creations being a continual dreamer.
In Brandon, FL United States there resides Ed Meredith a fine artist specializing in paintings.
Ed states the following when asked does he create while sleeping and dreaming,"For me being awake is kinda like a dream state and i very seldom remember dreaming while asleep..."
From Mooresville, IN United States comes a fine artist who specializes in Photography. Krisite Bonnewell explains her dreams as the following," I do think artist create when they sleep. I dont sleep much, but when I do, I always seem to remember what I dream about. For example it was this one tree, with no distracting noise around it. Alone, but beautiful and almost serene. Actually found it last week while driving around. "
Kristie then asks,"Now I have a question. Now that I have found my tree...will I dream about something new to photograph ?!"
Santi Goma Rodriquez a fine artist from Barbera Del Valles, Barcelona - Spain specializing in photography. He was asked of his dreams and creativity. Santi stated,"My brother go to army in the fleet. They know different courious people. One of this was a radio operator in morse. He, my brother, heard how the radio operator dream making morse sound with his voice. Chess players sometimes dream about chess matches. Computer programers, sometimes dream about how to solve complicate algorithms. But...I don't remember dreaming in somthing like a art-work. And I don't sleep well or enought. But I think this is not because I'm or I'm not a artist.
Often when I'm in a semi-dream state and I create very easily (but with little detail). When I'm concentrating in detail my creativity come down. It's a vicious circle. Then I have to catch Ideas free of techniques and later concentrate in details.
I'm not sure to explain me enought well. "
Moving to the small island of Mauritius in tiny village called Pailles just outside from the city of Port Louis is a fine artist named Angela Pari Dominic Chumroo her specialties include painting.
Angela defines her dreams as the following,"I wake up the same every morning. Eager to get at another piece of art or finish one. I go to bed trying to imagine what a real night sleep is. For me a sleep is another painting being erupted like a volcano pouring from my brain cells. There is no such thing to me as a dead sleep my artistic mind keeps my sleep alive.I could not begin to imagine a life with out thinking something of art. I was born with it is inherited.Sometimes I burn my left hand in so much pain but what can I say I am addicted. Other times I feel my mind is constantly flipping thru a roll of film of new paintings it it ready to develop. There can be moments in my dreams when I feel as if I am above myself looking down at me painting a piece on a canvas. The following day after dreaming this a few times I have found myself painting that piece I watched myself paint in my dream the night before."
Here is a piece she watched herself paint in the dream the night before:
Here is a piece she created while dreaming:
In conclusion I while you are sleeping an artist out there is creating and possibly they are sleeping while they are creating.

What happened in the brain of an artistic genius like Leonardo Da Vinci?
"Until now we had no way of knowing what went on inside the artist's brain - although Leonardo tried, using anatomy and observation. But now we are finally unlocking the door to this secret world," Prof Onians said. "We can also use neuroarthistory much more widely, both to better understand the nature of familiar artistic phenomena such as style, and to crack so far intractable problems such as 'what is the origin of art?'"
Fields of studies try to understand, for instance, what drove the first artists 32,000 years ago to create the paintings in the Cave of Chauvet. In what sense did they differ from previous people? And why do their paintings look the way they do?
What makes an artist such a special individual?
What Happens in the artist Brain like Leonardo Da Vinci and Angela Pari Dominic Chumroo
In the Brain of Leonardo Da Vinci studies have found the following:
These exposures influenced the artists' visual preferences, a consequence of the 'neural plasticity' of their brains. Essentially, this means that the environment has trained them into liking certain things and disliking other things. Whether this is so or not can be discovered with the help of brain scans.
The reason is that 'neural plasticity' ensured that passive exposure to different natural and manmade environments caused the formation of different visual preferences.
It has been revealed that European artists such as Leonardo stood before vertical canvases.
From the brain of Angela Pari Dominic Chumroo she has found the following:
Creativity and Memorization play key factors in her brains ability to perform well as an artist. In every where she looks, everything she touches and smells she has learned to trigger her mind by senses of smell,touch, and sight to implicate effects into her paintings. Combined with her imagination while sitting before an empty canvas she closes her eyes to recollect the day. Throughout the day things seems to trigger her mind for her upcoming paintings. Not only while she is awake but also as she sleeps.
A major role of great memorization tactics have played a key to successes in Angela Pari Dominic Chumroo's life.
There are times she will find herself beginning with what she has a slight idea of painting then finishing it off with a uniqueness. She has been considered an interesting and very expressive painter.
Angela Pari forces herself to trigger her mind in memorizing different things and recalling them on a drop of a dime with using word association as her biggest tool.
Forced to think with both sides of the brain most times she is a natural born left handed artist. She can will sign a painting for you with her left hand unless she signs with the computer mouse then she is only able to use her right hand. Painting with brushes on canvas can be preformed by her with both hands. While she is only able to draw and sketch with her left hand. If she were to paint you a digital painting it must be done with Angela Pari's right hand though because her brain will not allow her to use her left hand to control the computer mouse.
Imagine your brain shifting and telling you what hand it wants you to be an artist with using different tools and medias.
These are things that happen in the brain of a historian and modern artist as he or she works.
Tomorrow in a new lens the topic discussed will be:
-- What are artists dreams like?
--Do artists sleep a normal 8 hours?
--Do artists create during their time of sleep?

What Happens in the Artist's Brain
In the following blog article thru the week of May 10 - May 17, 2011 the artist Angela Pari Dominic Chumroo (aka) Pari D. Chumroo will cover the following:
- What happens in the brain of the modern artist as he or she works?
-- What happened in the brain of an artistic genius like Leonardo Da Vinci?
-- How do the brains of amateur and professional artists differ?
-- Why do artists in certain times or places have certain visual tastes?
--What are artists dreams like?
--Do artists sleep a normal 8 hours?
--Do artists create during their time of sleep?
--Do artist think spontaneously before creating?
--Do artists have an closer relationship binding with others like them and what causes this?
First lets address what happens in the brain of the modern artist as he or she works. Often their work can vary depending on the atmosphere and noises they are surrounded by while working.
Atmosphere can be seen as surroundings such as things,temperatures,lighting,and smells.
Music can also play a large role in their performance.Rhythm is an elemental force in human nature. In visual art the moving brush and the wandering eye are directed toward harmonious cycles and shapes that amuse and satisfy. This rhythm is between curves and flats, protrusions and recessions, crudeness and delicacy, patterns and amorphousness, lines and forms. As in music, the list goes on.
Temperatures can vary from place to place and time to time. Heat and cold have been found to affect learning. The brain is the master control center for the body. When it is too cold or too hot, the brain is constantly reminding the body to do something about this condition instead of focusing on what the mind is trying to focus on and accomplish.
Here are a few suggestions if you are trying to complete a piece of work and your focus is disturbed by the temperatures:
**"Get a sweater,"
**"Close the window,"
** "Move to a warmer part of the room,"
** "Remove sweater."
The pupillary light reflex is a reflex that controls the diameter of the pupil, in response to the intensity (luminance) of light that falls on the retina of the eye, thereby assisting in adaption to various levels of darkness and light, in addition to retinal sensitivity. Greater intensity light causes the pupil to become smaller (allowing less light in), whereas lower intensity light causes the pupil to become larger (allowing more light in). Thus, the pupillary light reflex regulates the intensity of light entering the eye. Therefore, the light reflected on an artists eye while creating will play a major role in the outcome of their artwork.
The perception of smell consists not only of the sensation of the odors themselves but of the experiences and emotions associated with these sensations. Smells can evoke strong emotional reactions.Our olfactory receptors are directly connected to the limbic system, the most ancient and primitive part of the brain, which is thought to be the seat of emotion. Smell sensations are relayed to the cortex, where 'cognitive' recognition occurs, only after the deepest parts of our brains have been stimulated. Thus, by the time we correctly name a particular scent as, for example, 'vanilla' , the scent has already activated the limbic system, triggering more deep-seated emotional responses.
Tip for the day to aid in increasing brain power:
Your Instant Increase in Brain Power:
**First thing in the morning have a glass of water. Go ahead and have your coffee or whatever afterward.
**Around lunch, have another glass of water along with whatever you planned for lunch.
**Then grab a glass around 3:00 or somewhere in there, especially if you're starting to feel like you're slowing down.
One glass of water with supper.
These are things that happen in the brain of the modern artist as he or she works. All these listed things and many more are required by most artists in order to perform well.
Tomorrow in a new lens the topic discussed will be: What happened in the brain of an artistic genius like Leonardo Da Vinci?
At the end of the week the artist will have an interesting find to share with everyone.
Please feel free to leave comments or your insights on this topic.
