Its a great way to "play" with art - really learning and stretching your creativity (no paint by numbers stuff here); but all in fun; low-pressure ways. Great to do with a friend. I especially recommend this for anyone who has been out of art for a while and wants to test the waters again.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Dory Kanter presents color theory in an easy to understand way.By CAM1982Art Escapes is a very nice book containing a number of ideas and exercises to get your creative juices flowing. Chapter 6 presents color theory in a way that made sense to myself and several fellow artists. Dory Kanter states "triads have personality" then goes on to explain. She presents the full triad; the water triad; the sun triad and the earth triad. She explains each of the triads in more detail.I purchased the book mostly for Chapter 6 but as read the book; I am being inspired to try some things that are "out of the box" for me. You will be encouraged to have a little fun and venture outside your personal "box" after reading this little book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Okay book for journalist ideas...By J. JenkinsBought this based on a review by another art journalist. She raved about it but it was just okay for me. To each their own...
