A beautiful, heart warming and inspiring book. Very comforting with lovely personal meditations (creative visualisations) which fire you up creatively. Made me want to create art without harshly judging myself or my work. Very enjoyable process.

Wonderful...worthy!,
By * "eepeak" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Spirit Taking Form: Making a Spiritual Practice of Making Art (Paperback)
Filled with artistic endeavors and meditations to get creative juices flowing. Healing in that it affirms that all creative process is worthy...not just the technical modems of art instructors, designers etc. The symbols that come forth during our artistic expressions, even the simplest ones, are coming from the deepest parts of our soul...the author hopes that we'll "come to view our inner selves as if watching a film", to see our own personal images and to be able to transform them into art we can appreciate. Worth a read, a study, there are lots of reflective stories that I found very inspiring, quotes from other students, artists...I found the exercises very propelling and I am all for moving forward, even small increments make progress...

Would be better as a CD,
By eileen2000 - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Spirit Taking Form: Making a Spiritual Practice of Making Art (Paperback)
I enjoyed the ideas in the book but found it ultimately not to be very useful. The book consists mainly of guided meditations focused around aspects of creativity. In a CD form it would be useful as an adjunct to actual meditation.
The information about the artist and her process was interesting and the guided meditations could be useful in a different format. My one biggest wish is for a lot more hands-on creative exercises. There were a few, but in a book geared towards creativity and "making", there should be alot more experiential stuff. 41 of 44 people found the following review helpful:

Spirit Taking Form: Making a Spiritual Practice of Making Ar,
By Melissa Wolf, Women's Studio Center - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Spirit Taking Form: Making a Spiritual Practice of Making Art (Paperback)
As the Executive Director of Women's Studio Center I find this book to be a great boon to artists and those thinking about becoming an artist. It has elements of "The Artists Way" with more substance and some biographical details.Nancy Azara was the Director of the New York Feminist Art Institute, a wonderful women's art organization that closed in 1990. She taught a class "Visual Diaries" which included elements of consciousness raising and art or creating an "artists book". I think her ideas and exercises come from this class. It's a wonderful creative motivator ! |
