Book Review: Creative -painting my own review
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first published this book, I had little experiance in how it would help the art student- only in how it helped me understand how I learned myself to become an artist. However, now that I have used it's principles as a format for teaching art seminars -I now have working experiance with the book and can comment on it. One of the biggest surprises to me was that anyone can learn to paint and that creative painting is really easy to learn- and very natural. This is when artistic painting is taught as a series of simple techniques to improve the artistic mode of seeing and understanding first, then actual painting later. What has happened to many budding artists entering an art workshop for the first time is that they are not successful and able to paint or draw. This may because they have dysgraphia and do not know it, poor self esteem, fear of mistakes when everyone in a class is watching, or the teacher did not have the proper tools for teaching - especially tools used in special education today. So the person leaves the workshop feeling he is not a successful artist he/she can develop " painter's block". So I now can say that when tools of creativity are learned first, artistic statements are developed - the "why" we paint is understood and the artistic mode of seeing is practiced- we succeed. When and how to critique the painting as an end product is known before we begin the painting, then painting is a fun and easy process to begin our journey.
