Art and Inventiveness Books I Love

A dandy resource for art journaling ideas!

Natalie Goldberg taught me the power of creative writing exercises.

While this might seem out of place hither, information technology's then fascinating, and so applicative to developing the habits of making art, it was a must on this listing.

Julia Cameron'due south inspiring quotes, permission giving, and spiritual approach to art speak straight to my heart.

SARK is 1 of the reasons I feel then comfortable with myself as an creative person. (Maybe also as a person.) She is all virtually the word Yeah, unless of class it's bad for your self-intendance, and so it's NO. She is a master of unleashing artistic impulse and inviting creativity and novelty to your life. For anyone who struggles with their mood, their by, or their identity as an artist, she is a must read.

This book is the first in a series. It'southward one of the books that sparked my interest in art journaling. It'southward a serial of postcards and letters between two artists, and some pages have actual envelopes with folded letters inside. The images are playful, animal-based, and mystical. Information technology's ane of my favorite books ever.

And then much artistic wisdom and inspiration in i identify!

O'Keeffe, has e'er been, and I suspect, always will be, one of my favorite artists. Each time I study her piece of work, I continue to acquire how to see.

This was another determinative book in my creative life from SARK.
