"Celebrate and honor your creative potential with Life Book! Based on much-loved mixed-media artist Tamara Laporte's popular, multi-year series of online classes, Life Book offers mixed-media drawing and painting projects that can raise your awareness of and ultimately help you conquer various obstacles to creating art and negative thinking about their creative self-worth. Each themed chapters presents 4 or 5 two-part projects: The first part of each project explores a common issue that hampers creativity and self-fulfillment and includes a worksheet or list of questions to be answered; the second part is a step-by-step mixed-media art project that provides a way for artists at all skill levels to contemplate and work through that issue. Each chapter includes a project contributed by one of Tamara's Life Book guest teachers, who are noted mixed-media artists in their own right. Along the way, Tamara shares inspirational photos and uplifting and encouraging affirmations. The final chapter presents simple binding methods for creating a keepsake book of Life Book projects"-- Provided by publisher.
