Making Art a Practice

Making Art a Practice is a workbook of exercises aimed at the qualities an artist needs rather than at technique: courage, the ability to look closely and see, and connection to one's own creative impulses. Cat Bennett, an artist and teacher, frames art as a practice in which self-awareness matters more than finished results.

The exercises are hands-on and suit artists at any skill level, building habits over time instead of offering quick fixes for creative blocks. Published by Findhorn Press, an imprint of Inner Traditions, the paperback runs 128 pages.
