So turn off the noise in your head, follow your own instincts and delight in what emerges! 40 exercises exploring original ideas and inventive techniques for making abstract art. Projects can be done in any order and with nearly any materials--start working right away on any project that grabs your attention! 50 contemporary artists share diverse work and viewpoints on the process of working abstractly. Write your own artistic license and start Creating Abstract Art your way , today! Review: The paint is calling! - I've been waiting for this book! Chock full of exercises designed to get the creativity flowing and show you how to re-frame your thinking. Exactly as the title says, the book provides the artist with ideas to get you moving in your own direction, prompting you to put hand to page and START the process. It is not a how-to with step by step instructions for a finished product. It is a means of inspiration to get your personal process underway with clear illustrations of how to take the first step and inspirational works by other artists using a variety of media and techniques. Use it as an idea book when you are at a loss as to how to begin, or you think you are pressed for time but want to do something, anything, to be creative. You will not be disappointed. This is a complimentary follow up to Dean's earlier book, Art From Intuition, another great collection of motivating ideas. I've used ideas from that book with all ages and I plan to do the same with Creating Abstract Art. Review: Like Finding Lightning in a Bottle! - I am a retired psychologist who used to do clinical and educational consultations for many years in a variety of settings. After retiring, I began dabbling in photography, printmaking and painting and sought out a number of highly accomplished professional artists for instruction in these areas with the goal of developing my skills as a photographic artist. In my opinion, Dean Nimmer's book, "Creating Abstract Art"', is an excellent example of an educational text which can also serve as a reference for both students and teachers of abstract art. Additionally, it can serve as a sourcebook for professional artists looking for stimulating ideas and exercises to further their creative expression. "Creating Abstract Art" is a very well-written book by a highly accomplished professional educator and owning a copy will likely prove to be of benefit to almost every student, teacher, and artist willing to consider the ideas and complete the exercises it contains. DISCLAIMER: I have been a student in Professor Nimmer's painting courses for the past year and a few samples of my work appear in this book. I am delighted to see that Professor Nimmer has decided to share his expertise in the form of a book which is available to students and artists around the world. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #328,740 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #224 in Arts & Photography Study & Teaching #867 in Creativity (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 318 Reviews | ## Images ![Creating Abstract Art: Ideas and Inspirations for Passionate Art-Making - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81spFCyB+vL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The paint is calling! *by A***O on September 19, 2014* I've been waiting for this book!
