Conscious Creativity: The Workbook: experiment, explore, create [Paperback]

Drawing on the success of her breakout bookConscious Creativity, artist Philippa Stanton dares you to throw away technique and open the door to free creative movement with this hands-on workbook.

Acknowledging the power of chance and experimentation, this isa safe spacein which to scribble, sketch, tear, scratch, fold, weave – anything that Philippa’s playful prompts inspire you to do. There areno ruleshere: choose an activity at the back of the book or start at the beginning; pick an exercise on light and shadow, paint your own colour chart or build a collage of found items,whatever makes your creative juices flow.

Packed withsimple suggestions to open our eyesto the beauty of ordinary things, this workbook draws on themes includingrandomness,colour,textureandthe sensesto encourage us to connect with things we might not normally notice.Breathtaking original photographyacts as a catalyst to inspire us to take a chance with new ideas, follow up coincidences and find new ways of expressing our creativity.

Prompts encourage you totake risks and express yourself impulsively,from drawing random spontaneous lines on a page to writing a not to a stranger to creating a textured collage out of sticky tape and other found objects.
