Creative Paths: How to Boost Imagination–For the Artistic or Creative Mind

Pure expressiveness, and validation as an artist, is what this book is all about. You’ll find doodles are a serious subject.

Doodles as artistic meanderings that can be meditative, capture emotions, or be the seeds for great ideas. They can be short and breezy or complex and insightful.

In the first fifty pages, the book takes you on a romp, as it explores authenticity and originality through the author’s experience. You’ll see how iPad doodles are especially liberating because they’re fast and flexible.

Creative PathsHow to Boost Imagination–goes on to explore some of the same creative thoughts applied to photography. (Painting on photos can be fun, mixing parts of photos together–a challenge.) Then the book takes a dramatic turn and explores a creativity-based relationship with two teens–one in a collaboration, and the other in a trial of persistence.

Then there’s a nod to AI and its arrival on the art scene. And a final section on how business and academia now value creativity as a top talent. In that section is also a deep dive into creative strategies for quickly come up with ideas.
