1. Analyze and evaluate your handbook of art and design teaching methods. What works for you? What does not work for you? Write a response and post it along with examples from the book.
I choose Keri Smith's "Living Out Loud: An Activity Book to Fuel a Creative Life."Keri is an author, illustrator, and guerrilla artist. Smith's writing is usually on the topic of creativity. This particular book reminisces those childhood days spent playing make-believe, running around in the sun, and living life with imagination and wonder. "Living Out Loud" is the perfect handbook to jump start creativity and discover who you are and what you love to do. This book includes games, projects, crafts, activities, projects, stickers (my personal favorite) and playful ideas that will start your adventure of living out loud! I love Keri's simple and easy to understand/read descriptions of the different projects and activities to do. I found them to not be overly limiting on the imagination or creativity, but still setting specific parameters. I love how for some of her thoughts it was written like a recipe, a to-do list, or just a step by step instruction. Keri definitely knows how to design her book with playfulness but perfectly designed for easy reading. She used an appropriate amount of images and illustrations. I never felt like it was too cluttered or too unorganized. There was not anything that did not work for me in this book. I believe Keri Smith to be a great artist. I choose her because I find some of our designs and styles to be very similar. I enjoyed her book and I enjoyed her desire to make the world more adventurous and creative.
