The Artist’s Way
By Julia Cameron"...a powerfully provocative and inspiring work." "With the basic principle that creative expression is the natural direction of life, Julia Cameron and Mark Bryan lead you through a comprehensive twelve-week program to recover your creativity from a variety of blocks, including limiting beliefs, fear, self-sabotage, jealousy, guilt, addictions, and other inhibiting forces, replacing them with artistic confidence and productivity. This book links creativity to spirituality by showing how to connect with the creative energies of the universe..." - Amazon Book reviews
"Not only a book about drawing, it is a book about living. This brilliant approach to the teaching of drawing should not be dismissed as a mere text. It emancipates." Book reviews - Los Angeles Times "...any person of sound mind can learn to draw; the probability is the same as for learning to read. It is simply a matter of learning basic perceptual skills -- the special ways of seeing required for drawing. I claim that anyone can learn enough seeing skills to draw a good likeness of something seen "out there" in the real world." Betty Edwards
This series of imaginative books has many drawing ideas that older children and teenagers will love:(just take the pages out, or use photocopies, so they wont be offended by "suitable for children over 6" on the cover!) "A favorite of parents, educators, and therapists...Praised as "extraordinary, revolutionary" (Newsweek), "imaginative" (The Christian Science Monitor), and "great stuff" (Detroit Free Press), this innovative series has continued to spark the creative impulses in children..."
I bought this fun - and empowering - drawing book for my teenage son - but really I want it for myself! "Children's imaginations will soar with this sketchbook of inspirational artwork, gentle suggestions, practical advice, and lots of white space for the aspiring artist's use. Quality materials include a sketch pen and two watercolor pencils, one red, one black. Age not specified, but this would be appropriate for anyone over 7. A 1999 Parents' Choice Gold Award Winner."
