Class Textbook

Conscious Creativity by Philippa Stanton
ISBN: 9781782406341
Publication Date: 2019-01-01
Conscious creativity is about discovery - what inspires you to create, trying new methods and ideas to take your creativity further, and exploring how you see things - and how this makes you feel.

This textbook is available as an e-book through the University Libraries. You have a few options for reading this book:

1. You can read it online in your browser

2.You can download a PDF of one or more chapters (the limit is 66 pages)

3.You can "check out" the entire book for up to 21 days. This allows you to download the entire book, but you must use Adobe Digital Editions (free software you can use on computer, tablet, or mobile device) to read the book (the file you download will only open in Adobe Digital Editions). After the "check out" period has ended, you will no longer be able to access the file with the entire book.

This e-book has unlimited user access, so you should be able to access the e-book at all times, regardless of how many other students are accessing it.
