I did it to 'get over my fear' of drawing. The best part of the class was when the teacher made us do rapid fire sketches of something she had set up in the middle of the classroom or of another student whose job it was to pose for us for 30 seconds. Several times we did quick exercises where right handed people switched to using their left hands. I was amazed at how much better my quick sketches were with my left hand than with my right. And of course that had to do with the fact that my right brain was allowed to have its way with my pencil. I once took a drawing class at SBCC. I did it to ‘get over my fear’ of drawing.
