Learning by Heart: Teachings to Free the Creative Spirit

I came away with some real techniques on how to prepare to make art. It has pushed me to extend my process and exploration while working on my artwork. And my art has improved so much. Totally recommend.

Good price,quick service. Thanks .

This book has some great ides to get your student artist thinking out side of the box.

This book is pretty amazing, as was Sister Corita. I love her approach and reflections on art, the nature of art, and the creative spirit. It is such a rare and refreshing experience to come across an art book that carries with it so much truth, power, and depth. The exercises are taken from ones that she actually taught to her students and going through them really does free the spirit to experience the simple yet blessed joy of not only creating, but observing creation as well. I come back to this book every so often when I feel like I need to fill the well and it never disappoints. I am so glad this was republished, grab it while you can before it disappears again!

After being out of print it is pure joy to have this fine book available again. It is written to engage and guide new artists into the wonder of creating art and at the same time it will inspire mature artists to reach deeper and stretch their artistic wings.After Sister Corita's death Jan Steward labored with great love and determination to finish the book they had begun together. She is to be thanked for bringing the brilliant teaching methods of Corita Kent to the rest of us.

a little different than I was expecting, but nice to have this woman of histories ideas and teaching on art.

I checked this book out from the library. About ten pages in I knew I wanted my own copy. Reading it is a bit like sitting with Corita and listening to her tell you how to go out into the world and see all things differently. So yes, I really like it.

A Jewish Proverb states- "A wise teacher makes learning a joy." Sister Corita Kent's teachings live on- and the result is joy. As a teacher of Art, I am always thrilled to find methodologies from gifted teachers. Learning by Heart is a treasure, to both teacher and student. Filled with practical lessons, this book is a reminder that the imagination of God abounds in nature. We have but to look.

Very interesting with plenty of assignments. An abundance of tips on creativity. It is well written and thought out but has a slight religious slant. Not off putting though.

Great ideas to push your own creativity, or use it as a teaching resource. Lots of lesson plans here to help people explore their own creativity.

It,s a new way into getting started/

It took a long time to be delivered. It looks very interesting, but I haven't had time to take it all in yet, so I don't want to comment.
