The Mind at Hand explores how artists, scientists, writers, and
others - students and professionals alike - see their world, record
it, revise it and come to know it. It is about the rough-drawn
sketch, diagram, chart, or other graphic representation, and the
focus these provide for creative work that follows from them. Such
work could involve solving a problem, composing a musical score,
proposing a hypothesis, creating a painting, and many other
imaginative and inventive tasks. The book is for for visual
learners of all kinds, for scientists as well as artists, and for
anyone who keeps a journal, notebook, or lab book in order to think
and create visually. It is also a book for teachers and educational
administrators interested in learning about new active learning
strategies involving drawing, and possible outcomes of these in
classrooms. The formulas and symbols of chemistry, the diagrams and
features of the landscape in geology, and the organisms and
structures in biology, are all represented as images on pages or
screens. Students create them when studying, problem-solving, and
learning. Once in front of their eyes, they can be reconsidered,
revised, and reconstructed into new images for further
consideration and revision. It is how artists often create a
painting or a sculpture, and how scientists come up with new
hypotheses. This is how learning occurs, not only across
disciplines, but in all kinds of creative endeavors, through a
continuing process of creation, revision, and re-creation. It is
drawing-to-learn.
