A fantastic book from Jane Dunnewold, Claire Benn and Leslie Morgan about finding your artistic voice. These three surface design gurus guide you through a series of exercises that help you explore various ways to express your artistic self.
Even though the authors are fiber artists, the exercises are good for artists of any kind!
From Claire And Leslie's website:
************************************************
A transatlantic collaboration between Jane Dunnewold, Claire Benn and Leslie Morgan, the third book in the Committed to Cloth series aims to help those who are seeking a surer artistic voice by providing practical exercises and guidance on different ways forward.
The book is divided into four key sections:
* How to Get Started: whether you’re full of ideas or running on empty, how do you begin the process of designing.
* How to Move Forward: getting to grips with the principles, tools and language of design, plus strategies to solve design problems.
* How’s it Going: everyone gets stuck now and then. Here we offer a strategy to evaluate the problem, contemplate the solutions and make the needed changes to get going again.
* Going Deeper: exercises to do when you’re seeking to make your work purposeful, or seeking to push through to a deeper place.
Both an inspirational and ‘how to’ book, the 64 pages work hard to act as a guide to accompany artists on their journey. Each exercise is clear, written in Plain English and well illustrated with over 130 photographs and examples. We feel it’s user-friendly enough to encourage beginners to get started and help more experienced artists to re-focus.
