The Artist's Quest for Inspiration
2d Edition
by Peggy Hadden
Praised for its authenticity and practical approach, this timely volume has been updated to inspire visual artists in their quest for creative growth. Peggy Hadden shares her secrets for overcoming creative blocks, from motivational exercises to meditation.
Chapters contain advice on how to work your way out of an artistic slump and find inspiration in color, form, light, nature and artists media. You’ll discover sure-fire techniques for developing your own way of expressing yourself and be motivated to rediscover your unique artistic vision through: journal writing; revisiting childhood games; free-association drawing; working with other artists; creating an inspirational studio; meditation; creative brainstorming; music; and traveling.
A new chapter explores how current events, such as the terrorism, war, and social unrest, affect an artist’s creative sensitivity and process. This stimulating companion provides deep and personal information into the way that an artist thinks and works.
Artists at all levels—from the student, to the hobbyist, to the professional trying to jumpstart a career—will find a rich variety of innovative techniques to nourish the creative process. .

Reviews
“This book will help you reach back to your most distant memories, stretch your senses, find the places inside you that are key to your inspiration.”
—Digital Media FX
“This is not a ‘how-to-do-it’ book in the limited sense of cookbook-like instructions. It is a ‘how-to-do-it’ book in the larger sense of becoming inspired about making art.”
