PAINTING YOUR WAY OUT OF A CORNER
The Art of Getting Unstuck
In the tradition of The Artist's Way, this exciting program—for those who want to reclaim their creativity, be more flexible and innovative, and enhance their quality of life—presents a new twist on journaling that uses brushstrokes instead of words. It is a practical solution for those who want to strengthen their risk-taking abilities, foster their creativity, and discover new ways to meet challenges.
As anyone who has ever put a paintbrush to canvas can attest, painting is a great way to spark creativity and innovation. Based on a popular course taught by Barbara Diane Barry, and supported by research in psychology and the science of brain function, PAINTING YOUR WAY OUT OF A CORNER guides readers through the process of overcoming blocks and expressing themselves freely in painting.
Barry's delightful paintings, interspersed throughout the book in full color, illustrate her teachings. In a series of practical exercises that emphasize improvisation and risk-taking, readers learn how to quiet their inner critic and strengthen their creativity, leading to greater self-awareness, flexibility, and problem-solving skills in other aspects of their lives as well. The more we learn to play and accept whatever appears on the page, the more we are able to try new things in life.
Barbara Diane Barry is an artist and art teacher in New York City. Under the educational outreach program at Symphony Space, she teaches in public school art residencies throughout NYC and gives tours in the city’s finest museums. In addition, she is on staff at the South Street Seaport Museum. The creator of “Art for Self-Discovery” (www.artforselfdiscovery.com), a studio art program for adults and children devoted to nurturing the creator within, she has also created unique art programs that have been used by such clients as Lucent Technologies, Barnes & Noble, The NY Chapter of the American Society of Training and Development, and the Center for Arts Education in New York.
