HOLLYWOOD, Fla., July 7, 2010 — Creativity is not an innate skill that you're either born with or you're not. Creativity can be learned and it can be enhanced — there is an artist in each of us!
In his new book Completing the Wheel: An Adventure in Creativity and Life (published by iUniverse), photographer and writer Warren Dittmar shows how the richness and growth that comes from creative expression cannot be denied — and how imagination and creativity can be used to overcome individual limitations. With personal stories, real-life examples, and step-by-step activities, readers will have a road map for becoming a more creative person. All one needs is desire and a conscious decision to engage in creative activities like photography, journaling and drawing, and creativity will awaken. And by reflecting on oneself and one's talents, anyone can become more enthusiastic about expressing themselves through imaginative and creative play. Each chapter ends with Dittmar's "Striking the Match" exercise suggestions to build on the principles leading to freedom of imagination. In Completing the Wheel, Dittmar provides an opportunity to grow your creativity through your own medium and experience a whole new way of seeing life.
About the Author
Warren Dittmar grew up in the Bronx and overcame educational challenges after an injury left him unable to attend grade school, then dropping out of high school, eventually attending The New School of Social Research. He went on to become a professor of English. He has been a professional photographer for many years and enjoys the magic of capturing a really good image — as much as he enjoys reading and teaching. Currently living in Hollywood, Fla., and father to five children, he is proud to have come from being disabled to walking again, from being a high school dropout to receiving a bachelor's, master's, and soon, a Ph.D., and having overcome poverty. He remains intensely enthusiastic, curious, and filled with a sense of joy and beauty. His future goals are to write another book, to influence education in a more positive direction where learning is more important than test scores, and to complete his research project for his doctorate.
