By Mary Todd Beam

Artists and creatives of all kinds who are looking for new ways to liberate their artistic imagination will love this book.

Further inspiration can be found in a gallery of work by more than 30 contributing artists. Celebrate Your Creative Self is a fun, no-fail guide every artist should have.

Celebrate Your Creative Self: Over 25 Exercises to Unleash the Artist Within
Have not had time to use a lot of the activities, but there seems to be some really creative acitivies that interest me.

Idea Starter
I really like this book. I own it and have given it as a gift to many of my artist friends and students. It has great idea starters that are open ended enough to allow for creative license. I also really like the spiral binding that allows the book to lay flat while refering to some of the techniques.

great book!
It was a very inspiring book. Lot’s of great photos of artist work. I am an oil painter and still found it helpful and inspiring.
