Abstract:
Pencil Dancing offers readers a fresh take on developing creative confidence, overcoming blocks and taming their inner critics. They'll discover fun and effective ways to achieve satisfying creative expression and enrich their daily lives, approaching creativity from the point of view of a "dance" between conscious and unconscious, left and right brain, creator and critic, logic and creativity. The book is divided into fifty short chapters, presented as if an encouraging teacher or coach is standing close at hand. Readers will find prompts, field trip activities, vivid imagery and other methods that allow them to get into a creative mode, and to conquer writer's block and other creative difficulties. * This book is perfect for anyone who wants to be more creative! * Contains concise instruction that's lighthearted and clearly organized * In the tradition of the Artist's Way, Pencil Dancing encourages both creativity and personal growth.
