Library Journal Review
Making Marks : Discover the Art of Intuitive Drawing
Library Journal

This title explores the connection between drawing and intuition. Clayton invites readers to explore a nongoal-oriented, doodle-like stream-of-consciousness drawing technique. Here, finished sketches are un-important, while self-discovery is paramount. Many open-ended exercises, which are written in an engaging, descriptive narrative style, encourage readers to make marks on paper as a way of exploring memory, tapping into their own creative force and logic, and even connecting with others. VERDICT While this book may not suit every reader, it could have significant appeal across art instruction, self-help, and psychology subject areas. (c) Copyright 2014.
