Description
“A magnificent journey through a rich landscape of creative promise . . . a spirited educative tool filled with insight, intelligence, and play.” —Julie Ault, artist & author of Come Alive! Artist and educator Corita Kent inspired generations of artists, and the truth of her words “We can all talk, we can all write, and if the blocks are removed, we can all draw and paint and make things” still shines through. This revised edition of her classic work Learning by Heart features a new foreword and a chart of curriculum standards. Kent’s original projects and exercises, developed through more than thirty years as an art teacher and richly illustrated with 300 thought-provoking images, are as inspiring and as freeing today as they were during her lifetime. Learn how to challenge fears, be open to new directions, recognize connections between objects and ideas, and much more in this remarkable, indispensable guide to freeing the creative spirit within all of us. With new material by art world heavyweights Susan Friel and Barbara Loste, Learning by Heart brings creative inspiration into the twenty-first century and will become a priceless resource for teachers, artists, actors—everyone. “Corita Kent and Jan Steward offer strategies, projects, exercises, and ideas on how to nurture creativity in a world of wonders.” —Spirituality & Practice
