Notes from an Accidental Professor

What appears to be notes and syllabi for several  different in-person classes Barry has taught in the past. Because it's from several different, it felt a little unfocused and disjointed.

Not nearly as good as Making Comics or What It Is, but still good with some great ideas about daily practice.

Lynda Barry recebeu a MacArthur Fellowship em 2019, com 63 anos, com a seguinte menção: "Inspiradora do envolvimento criativo através de trabalhos gráficos originais e de uma prática pedagógica centrada no papel da criação de imagem na comunicação". Acabei de ler o seu livro "Syllabus: Notes from an Accidental Professor" de 2014 e fiquei completamente convencido do enorme valor desta professora da Universidade de Wisconsin-Madison da área de Criatividade Interdisciplinar. A sua forma de estar e trabalhar com os seus alunos é uma inspiração para quem quer que acredite no poder da arte e criatividade humanas.

I looked this all over, and it is not something to "read" but something to just pour over and enjoy, over and over again. Great addition to the collection.

Writing exercises and creativity advice from Barry's pioneering, life-changing workshop The award-winning author Lynda Barry is the creative force behind the genre-defying and bestselling work What It Is. She believes that anyone can be a writer and has set out to prove it. For the past decade, Barry has run a highly popular writing workshop for nonwriters called Writing the Unthinkable, which was featured in The New York Times Magazine. Syllabus: Notes from an Accidental Professor is the first book to make her innovative lesson plans and writing exercises available to the public for home or classroom use. Barry teaches a method of writing that focuses on the relationship between the hand, the brain, and spontaneous images, both written and visual. It has been embraced by people across North America—prison inmates, postal workers, university students, high-school teachers, and hairdressers—for opening pathways to creativity. Syllabus takes the course plan for Barry’s workshop and runs wild with it in her densely detailed signature style. Collaged texts, ballpoint-pen doodles, and watercolor washes adorn Syllabus’s yellow lined pages, which offer advice on finding a creative voice and using memories to inspire the writing process. Throughout it all, Barry’s voice (as an author and as a teacher-mentor) rings clear, inspiring, and honest.
