Don't Call It Art 10 Ways to Create Like a Kid Again by Austin Kleon

Don't Call It Art 10 Ways to Create Like a Kid Again  by Austin Kleon

This was a nice little book. It had helpful suggestions and inspiration interspersed with little bits of advice on how to embrace our inner child, to think back to a time when we drew pictures for the fun of it and not to create something that was ''art' As others have said, the format of this book would be better suited to a physical book rather than an ebook but it was still readable and enjoyable. It's a short book and I liked the quotes from creatives. Thanks to the author, the publisher, and to Netgalley for this ARC.
