4.0 out of 5 stars
Delightful book about SEEING as opposed to "looking at",
By A Customer
This review is from: Zen Seeing, Zen Drawing: Meditation in Action (Paperback)
This book is one of the few that has had a profound impact on my life, and one of the very, very few which will always have a place on my bookshelf. I go back to this delightful book again and again when I need to be inspired and refreshed."Zen Seeing / Zen Drawing" is neither a primer nor a thorough discourse on either zen or drawing technique, and thank goodness - the last thing we need is more "talking" about zen or "how to's" about art. This book, plain and simple, is about the experience of SEEING, truly seeing, not just with ones eyes, but with all of ones senses, ones heart and ones spirit. If you have always wanted to draw but somehow never have, then this book may be just what you need to get started, especially if you have any inclination towards things "zen" or spiritual.

A life changer,
By C. Driscoll "Branding Marketing Expert" (Glenwood, NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Zen Seeing, Zen Drawing: Meditation in Action (Paperback)
This book changed my life. I can now "see". As a begining art student, I was having difficulty "seeing". I read this book 3 times in a row when I first got it. It changed the way I look at everything. People, places, life. Such a passion for life, drawing and humanity comes through Frederick Franck's drawings and words. Frederick Franck is an amazing conduit. I'm grateful he wrote this book. Highly, highly recommended.

Be aware of what you see,
By A Customer
This review is from: Zen Seeing, Zen Drawing: Meditation in Action (Paperback)
No, it's not a book about Zen or drawing, but it is an ispiration for both. This book inspires the reader to see the world for the first time, not just look at things for the sake of avoiding them while driving. Franck's style is not bombastic, but his entusiasm for drawing, for life, and for awareness shows through every word he writes.
