To understand how organizations deal with information and knowledge - and the importance of being able to put information into context to make it valuable, you have to look sometimes beyond the obvious; I studied Dr. Edwards and others to understand the way the left and right side of the brain behave.
The brain is physically divided down the center into two halves. Some of the different functions of the two halves have been known for a long time. The right half (hemisphere) of the brain receives sensory information from and directs the actions of the left half of the body. The left half does the opposite.
 
Drawing is a global (or "whole" skill requiring only a limited set of basic components. Drawing is made up of component skills that become integrated into a whole skill. Once you have learned the components and integrated them, you can draw. Progress takes the form of practice, refinement of technique and learning what to use the skills for.
The global skill of drawing something that you see "out there" (a person, object or landscape) requires only five basis component skills. These skills are not drawing skills, but perceptual skills:
- The perception of edges.
- The perception of spaces
- The perception of relationships
- The perception of lights and shadows
- The perception of the whole
The key link seems to be coming from Edwards' comment: "The magical mystery of drawing ability seems to be, in part at least, an ability to make a shift in brain state to a different mode of seeing/perceiving. "
