In the tradition of Wild Mind, a guide to unleashing the artist in us all, by an icon in the women's creativity movement. Kent's work appeared in ads for IBM, on a U.S. stamp, on embassy walls, and in national museums worldwide, but it was as a master teacher that her work had the most influence. Now her teachings are gathered in this remarkable volume. Photos and drawings throughout.

Learning By Heart,
By "bloste3" (Washington, D.C.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Learning by Heart: Teachings To Free The Creative Spirit (Paperback)
During my doctoral work in Leadership Studies, my literature review on Creativity that led me to Kent/Steward's coloful and wise book. Corita Kent was a woman way ahead of her times, and Jan Steward did the world a favor by collaborating with this amazing artist to share with the world her engaging and charismatic teaching methodology.This book is a must for all teachers of art, women's studies professors, and anyone interested in creativity, multiculturalism, and leadership. Why don't they republish this treasure so that new readers can access it for a reasonable price? It is worth the $..., but unfair to the humanities!

A book for everyman, the artist,
This review is from: Learning by Heart: Teachings To Free The Creative Spirit (Paperback)
Sad that this book is hard to find as it is one of the livliest books around on the subject of creativity! Filled with wonderful words of inspiration, pictures and photos it takes the reader through many aspects of artistic creativity. The book, itself a playful
realizaton of creativity, brings the teaching brilliance of Corita Kent to all who read it.

A Joyful Romp in Creativity,
By Susan A. Friel (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Learning by Heart: Teachings To Free The Creative Spirit (Paperback)
Rarely have I met a book that invites me to join in such a luscious romp in creativity. Since this book found its way to me 10 years ago, I keep it close at hand and revisit its pages with the same pleasure as visiting a dear friend. The writing style and images are inviting, informative and inspiring.This is a valuable tool abundant with ideas for the artist as well as the educator who dreams of a rejuvenation in their teaching and learning. I wish to see this book in print once again, to continue to inspire the joy found in true creativity. As Education Director for a large arts organization, I desperately need 30 copies to pass on to our teaching artists to ignite the fires we all kindle deeply inside. And then of course, I'll need a spare to takes its place alongside my own rather tattered and loved - Learning by Heart.
