If you are an Art therapist, then maybe this book is for you. If you are an artist, wishing to expand your creativity - this book will not be much help. I was expecting examples, excercises, and lots of visual stimulation, but was very much disappointed. The book is mainly all text, with very little visuals, and very technical, not user friendly at all. I sent it back. The cover looks very intriguing, but the content is flat.

There was a lot about this book that I really liked in spurring my on to more creativity but I was disappointed that there wasn't a more spiritual aspect to it. I do think it worth purchasing and would recommend it to other journalers for sure.

This review is from: Inner Journeying Through Art-journaling: Learning to See And Record Your Life As a Work of Art (Paperback)

This is a very timely and insightful book. I have been waiting for this book for many years. Marianne has been able to put into very readable and meaningful terms the process of Art Journaling and it's benefits to the person using this process. The illustrations are exceptional and indicate with the examples that this is a process that works for many people. I have used it in my lifetime and am so happy to see it now in print and know that it will be very helpful for many people. It is great for personal insight and clarification as well as very helpful for professionals that are in the helping professions. This book will make a great gift for yourself and your loved ones. Be sure to buy this book.
