Seeing is encountering reality with all of your being. To encounter reality deeply, you cannot leave part of yourself behind. All of your senses, your emotions, your intellect, your language-making abilities - each contributes to seeing fully. Robert McKim

Robert H McKim's Experiences in Visual Thinking is a goldmine of information and activities for those interested in the ways in which perceptual thinking skills can be observed, utilized and improved, and how powerful these skills are in their "capacity to change your world of ideas and things".

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for understanding visual thinking, April 2, 2000

This review is from: Experiences in Visual Thinking, 2nd edition (Paperback)

I like this book very much because of its broad coverage and yet penetrating insights about creativity. To be more precise, it's about visual perceptual thinking - the often untapped resource mode of our brain. It is an excellent resource - not only from the visual thinking perspective but - for those who wants a deeper, fundamental understanding about whole-brain thinking. Unlike Kurt Hanks' books, and ironically, it's full of heavy text. Nevertheless, it's worth your perusal and also for having it in your personal library. The author had a second book, a strategy manual, which, unfortunately, is now out of print.

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspires Creativity, October 5, 2001

This review is from: Experiences in Visual Thinking, 2nd edition (Paperback)

Offers activities & processes to go through in order to brain storm & improve creativity. Many excellent ideas. My only complaint is that the text utilizes language that makes what they are trying to express difficult to understand & hard to follow.

Lots of insight into seeing, thinking and drawing. Very expensive, and needs pictures for the reading impaired
