A colorful and eclectic challenge to contextualize mark-making and creative practice/play within the subconscious bodymind. Barry has much to say (and doodle) about artistic pedagogy and leaves it to the reader to weave some webs!

Brilliant and beautiful and full of inspiration for teachers and students and artists of all kinds. I will be revisiting this many times.

Barry’s notes and assignments from several semesters of teaching at University of Wisconsin. There are a handful of rad drawings, plus a few assignments I’d like to try giving to my students.
I’m jealous of the attendance and cell policies she is able to enforce.
There’s that “every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist when one grows up” Picasso quote. It’s not quoted in this book, but it feels pertinent to the thrust of the class.

Makes me want to try to tap into creativity that I haven't explored in a long time.

Transformative for academics, creatives, writers alike. Helped me rethink the stakes and possibilities of pedagogy.

Great book for anyone looking for some teaching inspiration! It's part graphic novel / part text, so be prepared for something that might be outside of your comfort zone...but in a wonderful way!

"We know that athletes, musicians, and actors all have to practice, rehearse, repeat things until it gets into the body, the 'muscle memory,' but for some reason, writers and visual artists think they have to be INSPIRED before they make something, not suspecting the PHYSICAL ACT of writing or drawing is what brings that INSPIRATION about. Worrying about its worth and value to others BEFORE it exists can keep us immobilized forever. Any story we write or picture we make cannot demonstrate its worth until we write it or draw it. The answer can't come to us any other way."
I loved this so much.
