Synopsis

"Spirit of Drawing" is an intriguing series of illustrated visual experiments that combine meditation, expressive therapy, and hands-on exploration with drawing media. Author Connie Smith Siegel's ideas, build on the meditation practice of sensory awareness, a blending of buddhist meditation and simple physical activities. Applied to creative expression, sensory awareness distills drawing and painting to their simplest components: touching, seeing, and moving. In this unusual and freeing book, artists learn to use these new sensations to guide their hands towards the movements, shapes, and colours that express what they are feeling. Not only do the artists produce a work of art, they express their emotions and inner wisdom. Techniques gradually build to more complex visual expressions, such as representational drawing, colour theory, composition, and to the use of art in healing.

Spirit of Drawing
Spirit of Drawing engages readers in an intriguing
series of illustrated visual experiments that combine
meditation, expressive therapy, and hands-on
exploration with drawing media. Author Connie Smith Siegel's ideas, developed over many years of
research and learning, build on the meditation practice
of sensory awareness, a blending of Buddhist
meditation and simple physical activities. Applied to
creative expression, sensory awareness distills
drawing and painting to their simplest components:
touching, seeing, and moving. In this unusual and
freeing book, artists learn to use these new sensations
to guide their hand toward the movements,
shapes, and colors that express what they are feeling.
Not only do the artists produce a work of art,
they express their own emotions and inner wisdom.
Techniques gradually build to more complex visual
