Dean Nimmer: Art from Intuition
Art from Intuition
by Mass Art Professor Emeritus Dean Nimmer
to be published by Watson/Guptill
This book, based on Dean Nimmer’s thirty-five years of teaching and practice as an artist, includes unique methods he has developed to help students and artists free their creative intuition by letting go of self-criticism, doubt, and insecurity that discourage artmaking. Dean has used the practical excercises in his book with students of all ages, from novices to professional artists, not only in the United States but in Ireland and China. The book will be of interest to K-12 as well as college-level art educators.
See Dean Nimmer’s blog about Art from Intuition, including ordering information: http://artfromintuition.wordpress.com/ On the blog you can also follow a link to hear Dean Nimmer being interviewed by Dick Gordon on National Public Radio about his experience teaching intuition painting in Beijing.
