By Righty

“Kseniya Simonova is a Ukrainian artist who won the Ukraine’s version of “America’s Got Talent” [this past summer]. She uses a giant light box, dramatic music, imagination and “sand painting” skills to interpret Germany’s invasion and occupation of Ukraine during WWII. “

“The Great Patriotic War, as it is called in Ukraine, resulted in one in four of the population being killed with eight to 11 million deaths out of a population of 42 million.”

Are You A Righty or a Lefty?

By Righty

 

Are you right-brained or left brained?  Most of you will see the image turning clockwise.

 

If the image is turning clockwise, then you are using the right side of the brain, and vice versa. 
 
     

You may be able to reverse the way the image is turning.

Someone may be able to suggest that the image is turning the opposite direction to you and it will start turning the opposite way.

About 10% of you will be left-brained.  I’m one of you.
While I’m a “righty” in all other things, I can’t get the image to turn clockwise no matter how hard I try!

 

LEFT BRAIN ATTRIBUTES

uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe

RIGHT BRAIN ATTRIBUTES
uses feeling
“big picture” oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can “get it” (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking
 

 

 

 

It’s the same for me with those 3-D sterogram pictures like this ~

Pine Tree ~ Stare intently at the picture below. Can you see the hidden image?

Right Brain or Left Brain:  Myth or Reality?

Whether the right or left brain work together, or not….I sure know one thing…we’re going to be right or left…conservative or liberal.

We sure don’t think the same when it comes to politics, war, the environment.

But have you noticed?
On the blogs, opposites attract…
Otherwise we couldn’t carry on a debate, now could we?
