From Library Journal
An actor, businessman, and instructor at Juilliard, Booth here teaches a new way of understanding art and experiencing life. Booth wants the reader to see art as a process, not necessarily an object, and to understand that we can engage in the artistic process in all aspects of our lives. The book begins with a section on what art is and how we can experience it everywhere. Next comes a look at the skills necessary to explore the basics of art, such as being able to observe and respond to what we see and feel. In the third section, Booth provides three examples (storytelling, problem-solving, and writing poetry) of how we can produce art, and he ends with a section explaining how to engage all of the skills and ideas he has taught. This book will help all readers to see, appreciate, and understand our world, and will give them skills needed to improve it. For all public library self-help collections.?Elizabeth Caulfield Felt, Washington State Univ. Lib., Pullman

The Everyday Work Of Art: A Curious Way Of Seeing asserts it is time for Americans to reclaim the power of art in their lives. Relegated to institutions and museum walls, art has become unattainable and elitist. By revealing the skills that artists apply in their work, The Everyday Work Of Art gives us the tools to bring art back into our personal and professional lives. The Everyday Work Of Art identifies seven techniques to awaken our artistic selves and reminds of the time when art was life-essential, like food, shelter, sleep and worship. The Everyday Work Of Art challenges us to redefine art to encompass every act of being, be it a child's crayon drawing, a corporate presentation, or a flawless presented dinner party. Filled with illuminating insights and warm anecdotes, The Everyday Work Of Art is an inspiring work offering a stirring argument for the importance of art. The Everyday Work Of Art is an impressive contribution to the national dialogue on the essentialness of art in American culture, schools, and communities.
