Art Rules! (And How to Break Them) - Mel Gooding

Make
art as modern artists do! A quirky collection of games and techniques
inspired by modern art to encourage the creative impulse, from the
creators of Mind Games and Psychobox.


It is one
of the great liberating ideas of modern art that everyone is a creative
being capable of making art. But all too often a mechanical education
stifles the creative impulse, induces anxiety, and represses the
imagination. Making art is a form of play with techniques, rules, and
strategies--and everyone can play! Art Rules! (And How to Break Them) liberates you to make art as modern artists do. You learn from the
inside how modern art works and how to look at it, creatively, with new
eyes. This box set answers the questions "what is modern art?" and "how
does it work?" It is an education and an inspiration. There is nothing like it.

Box set containing a 64-page booklet, "Modern Art: Inside Out," and 42 interactive cards that encourage you to try modern art techniques yourself-including collage, photographic games, picture poems, surrealist games, and more.
