Art is a Way of Knowing
Comments(3) I’ve finally finished reading Art is a Way of Knowing by Pat B. Allen. It was published in and copyright 1995 by Shambhala Publications. IBSN 1-57062-078-4 No doubt you can find it second hand. The cover image is provided here under the fair use for education clause of the copyright law.
It is a book for reading but more importantly I find that it is a book that should be a book for doing. It is in five parts. The first three parts are designed for you to actually do the exercises as you read. I found them very challenging. That probably comes from growing up in a very non standard family.
I will be reading it a second time. However at the end of the first reading it has prompted me to take the first edition of Women Who Run With the Wolves off the bookshelf. I find, looking just inside the end papers that my penciled notes stop at page 152. I think this time I ought to read the whole book. Fifteen years is enough seasoning. It’s time.
That looks like a book that is well worth reading. Thanks for the heads up.
Clarissa P. Estes’ book is one I re-read regularly, about every 2 years…its one of the few books that speaks to me from the inside out. And since Allen’s book has prompted you to read Estes’, I’m very curious about it and will add it to my ever growing list. Thanks.
