À propos de cet audio

The Creative Path is an inquiry into the creative process from philosophical, psychological, spiritual, and practical points of view. In this welcoming work on the creative process, Carolyn Schlam encourages the listener to embark upon his or her own journey of discovery, identity, and wonder through art. The author started her career in art under the tutelage of master teacher Norman Raeben in the Carnegie Hall Studios in New York. Raeben's students included Bob Dylan, who said of him: "He put my mind and my hand and my eye together, in a way that allowed me to do consciously what I unconsciously felt". Chapters discuss the meaning of inspiration, intention, talent, authenticity, and many other aspects of art creation.

Included in The Creative Path are: six lectures by Norman Raeben with commentary by the author; exercises designed to strengthen listeners' creative muscles; analysis of aesthetic criteria; reflections on the artist's role in society; and a discussion of the mindset required to make art a life path.

A celebration of creativity, this inspirational book examines why we make art. Though it makes primary reference to visual art, The Creative Path will resonate with all creative practitioners, whatever their chosen discipline.

In her early years, Carolyn Schlam honed her skills as an artist in classes with Norman Raeben. In daily classes in a New York studio, this talented and passionate artist shared his wisdom.

It is six of Raeben’s lectures that form the basis for this book. Throughout, Schlam shares her experiences and reflections. The result is an inspiring and entertaining foray into the artists’ world.

Disappointingly, the chapters in the audiobook are not labelled, marked simply as Chapter 1-11. Knowing that the book contains 6 lectures, how would I find them? As a minimum, clearly labeled chapters would help. At best, a PDF accompaniment is called for, containing not only a table of contents but a few photographs of Norman Raeben, his art, number of his quotes and key terminology.

This is compounded by the fact that the same narrator is used for both the author’s voice, and Raeben’s lectures, so I often never really understood whose voice I was listening to. I am sure this worked well in print, but instead of just listening to the narrator I found not knowing where I was a bit of a distraction.

Having said all that, this is still a fantastic book, and I am giving it a 5 star review.

By sharing her experiences as one of Raeben’s students, Schlam gives us precious insight into the world as he saw it. There were so many ideas about how to change up one’s artistic endeavours, so as to not get stuck doing one thing, and how to find inspiration. This is on top of all the techniques that were spoken about.

Here is a chapter guide I pulled together from the audiobook, outlining the three parts, and where to find the lectures:

Opening
1. Introduction

Raeben Lectures (Chs. 2–7)
2. Inspiration ← Norman Raeben Lecture 1
3. Your Instrument ← Norman Raeben Lecture 2
4. Intention ← Norman Raeben Lecture 3
5. Ways and Means ← Norman Raeben Lecture 4
6. Truth and Beauty ← Norman Raeben Lecture 5
7. Commitment ← Norman Raeben Lecture 6

Closing Reflections
The final chapters (8–11) expand on Schlam’s own insights into living creatively and sustaining an artist’s practice.
