A Book the Everyone Should Exerience

A Book the Everyone Should Exerience
The book appears deceptively simple. A collection of brief daily prompts with space to document your thoughts and results interspersed with short insights on individuals. creative process or 365 projects If you are like me and don’t read ahead, each prompt is a new adventure. If you read ahead you can know what to look forward to, 365 offers suggestions, challenges and opportunities that stretch your view of yourself and the world around you. When this book first came out years ago, I cherished it and looked forward to each day and a new challenge. It was my personal playland that got more dogeared, ripped and marked up as time passed. At the end, I read and pondered my private diary of creativity. Now with this new edition, I have taken to sharing it with friends. As an icebreaker or conversation starter, the daily exercises are thought provoking & fun to do with a partner or group. Over dinner, we’ve chosen a random prompt to dive into as our appetizer. Stuck in the airport, I offered a page to a worn fellow traveler and the 2 hour delay flew. A random prompt is a fun way to get a group of strangers working together before a meeting. Whether you want to be precious and keep this gem of daily inspiration to yourself or if you choose to share it is up to you. Better than any self help book, Creativity 365 affirms that we all have a vast capacity for creativity, personal insight and joy. Everyone needs this book.

    Great book. It really is changing my life. I'm on day 19. This is an art book for inspiration without all the rules about composition, color, and perspective. Everyday he gives a small hint about materials to use to create "something." My theme for the year is Birds. I've made a osprey kite, collage, mask, a lemon bird, robot bird, Christmas ornament, etc. All without worrying about how they turn out, because I know I'll try again tomorrow. The book is the kick in the pants I needed to be less critical of my work and actually finish my projects. I'm just using up the supplies I already have at home so there is very little extra expense. Now.....I want to learn more about composition, color, and perspective. If you want to be an artist, make something everyday. This book has turned on my creativity gene. Today I'm going to make a bird that floats on water. I love the brain energy that happens between finding out the assignment and producing a finished piece of art.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Weapon for the War of Art
    Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Last December I purchased this book and ended up turning its ideas into a group project with friends. So far it has been an amazing experience. There are around 20 people involved, and everyone brings their disparate talents together to create some awesome pieces as well as add more skills to their repertoire.

    Despite being more of a writer than a visual artist, partaking in the prompts suggested has expanded and increased my ability to create.

    There are a good handful of prompts for every discipline and even some cross category and collaborative suggestions.

    By providing a new project everyday, it forces you to actually do something. Being artistically creative or working on art projects is something that is usually reserved for downtime or completely given up to make time for what we "should" be doing. With this, art gets inked into my to-do list every day. By making it a group event, I make myself accountable.

    If you are an artist of any kind, I would highly recommend this book.

    Pretty cool book. Lots of activities and things to do for sure. The activities are quite diverse and imaginative. This book would work for any age group from children to elderly. Great price for the amount of activities it gives you. Also like the size of the book and space to write about each project. The cover and little details in the book are also a very nice touch. Unfortunately I got this for a recovery where I was stuck in bed and a lot of the activities require you to go find materials or do things. Otherwise everything has been fun so far.

    I did enjoy reading this book. I've also enjoyed doing some of the exercises as well. Even when I am unable to do a particular exercise that day I go back to it. The journal keeps me thinking creativity weather or not I'm actually able to do an activity. I think I enjoy the book because of that very fact. It keeps art mindful. I haven't read all of the suggested activities but of those I did I find them to be fun, exciting, interesting and challenging. There are ones I'm not in the least bit interested in doing...don't like using food, unless I can eat it immediately after, and then I don't like playing with my food. 365: A Daily Journal I feel was/is well worth the price and the read.I'm glad I own it and can't wait to get back to the exercises.

    THE PROS
    -The idea of an art journal is good
    -The cover page and layout of the journal looks like fun

    THE CONS
    -The ideas are not inspirational at all
    For example, Day 1 in the journal asks you to "make something that fits in the palm of your hand using only materials in your immediate environment". Day 2, "What is your favorite animal? Use it as your inspiration today". Day 118, "Create something out of wood". If you aren't into wood, you wont have the materials or motivation for this.
    I find those ideas very dull and boring.
    These "ideas" are not really motivating if you are really stuck and need inspiration to do art. If you are lost and need inspiration, this book won't do it for you.

    -You can't just sit and draw stuff.
    If you think this is just paper and pencil activities, you're wrong, he asks you to find objects around the house, which i hate doing. And other materials.

    -He assumes you have every medium lying around in your house
    -He assumes you like every art medium

    CONCLUSION
    There are way better art journals out there that actually boost your mind and mental creativity. This journal is too basic and not inspirational.
    Don't waste your time on this one. Go find a wonderful journal that makes you excited!

    5.0 out of 5 stars If you're looking for an artistically-themed New Year's Resolution...
    Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    ...this may be what you're looking for. The book is about a challenge that will inspire you to create a work of art every day for a year. We're not talking about museum-quality art here, but just SOMETHING in your field of interest. What it does is train you to work EVERY DAY. One artist carved stamps and made monoprints every day for a year. Don't think this is easy, though. It's not. This would make a great challenge for a group of people to try. Sometimes there are failures before the artist finally completes the 365 day challenge but what a feeling of success it is to finally say you're made it! (One artist did it for a Leap Year thereby producing 366 works of art.)

    This would make a great challenge for a group of people to try.

    4.0 out of 5 stars 365 prompts in nice format
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 2, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    This is a journal with 365 prompts for making things, with place to jot down sketches and ideas. It is not a book woth projects or pictures of other artists' work. The concept is that you choose a theme or a medium, and make 365 variations over that theme. That is a lot of ideas to come up with, and this book is a help in the process.

    As such, it is a good book. The prompts are not always practical or even fun, but that forces me to think differently and that is kind of the point. I use the prompts i don't like or find stupid, as an challenge to "trick the system" by being creative and find a solution I enjoy instead. (I use it for inspiration for my jewellery-making.)

    There is a handful techniques explained in the back, but that is just an excuse for saying it in the book description, nothing interesting or useful. There are also some interviews scattered around, they doesen't really add much either. This is a book you buy for getting a list of ideas, it doesen't offer much else.

    The book has good quality binding and paper. Good size for carrying around. Nice to write ideas in and for small sketches.
