Customer Reviews

Very practical and useful
I first read this book some years ago. Many of its principals are so native to my thinking now as an artist that sometimes I forget that others don't know these things. I find myself explaining stuff to them which I take for granted now as obvious ways of approaching how art is communicated. In doing so, they look at me with an expression of, "Yes! I noticed that too!" or the opposite of, "Oh yeah! Why didn't that occur to me before?"

I especially love the fact that this information is so applicable to all types of art. I have applied it to drawing, music, filmmaking and writing with equal success.

Not to gush too much, but without this material, I was just not as effective. Before, art was directionless and mysterious in not a good way.

Art brought to life
When I first ran into this book I was struggling with the subject of ART. I had a lot of creative ideas and a very powerfull creative instinct that moved me to make napkins into flowers, write poems in the blank pages of books and execute paintings with my make up colors. I hardly used anything I ran into for nothing more than the expression of beatuy and harmony or of chaos and disonance or what ever it was I had in my heart. I needed to express my self and to bring to others these ideas. But to no avail. I was insecure, unwilling to show my art as art and afraid of negative crticism.

After I read this book, I SUDDENLY CHANGED! I UNDERSTOOD ART!I UNDESRTOOD CRITICS! and much more, for instance, the essence of what I was really trying to comunicate and why I felt so weak and afraid to do so. Since, I have been Published and I get a lot of requests for my little art projects, I'm loved as a dancer with my very own style, and my mesages are accepted and understood. I love IT. But perhaps the most beneficial gain from reading this book was my new out look in life. It is possible to make life itself into an art, a personal touch in everything I make, a colorful meal, my wardrobe, the notes I write to people. And in all diferent styles and genres!!

This book for me was the begining of my life as an Artist. and Boy do I enjoy it!!!! life is fun when it is full of creativity. And critics? well, I certainly have no further concerns in that regard!!!! I highly recomend it, we need more artists in the communities of the world and this book will show you there is an artist in you too. Love Dharma

A book about aesthetics that works for every art form
This book solved all of my confusions about the subject of art and aesthetics.
When I started to apply the principles described in this book, my own artistic efforts finally started to get results. Since then I've used that data in this book to write and publish 3 books of my own! I have also used these same fundamental observations about aesthetics to create dozens of websites.
My eternal thanks to L. Ron Hubbard for giving me an understanding of art that helped me become a successful artist for the first time.
