A guide to the theory and practice of creativity, with proven techniques for jump-starting the creative process--from an esteemed art educator and therapist

There are art teachers--and then there's Shaun McNiff. An accomplished painter himself, he has spent a career helping people access their creative potential through expressive arts therapy. Now, he is sharing the secrets he's learned from observing his own creative process as well as that of others--both those who identify as artists and those who don't. The result is nothing less than a master class in creativity by one of the great creative theorists and practitioners of our time.

"This is intended as a practical text," Shaun says, "a creativity primer, striving to capture the essential things that have been of use to me and others."

The wealth of instruction he provides here in these essential things will be indispensable to artists of all stripes, as well as to all who strive to express themselves with honesty and authenticity using any of the media life makes available.
