  3. Aw, that s neat Kind of funny to have a book to tell you how to be creative, but it s full of neat ideas My fave is the paper dice you cut out with arrows pointing in all different directions, and you take a walk rolling the die each time you get to a corner and go the way it points I ll have to try it some time

  9.

  11. The author just took a lot of other people s ideas and compiled them in a things to do book Maybe this would seem original to kids young teens and I m showing myself to be too elderly and jaded to appreciate what is in fact a pretty cute little book

  12. Humorous at least I found it humorous and interesting how to be a guerilla artist, making art in public places, art including graffiti, signage, performance, and decoration Public Art says, the human spirit is alive here.

  13. This book really doesn t have a plot at all Its just mainly this book of these random activites that you can do to express your ideas in public I thought it was pretty cool, and i planned on doing some with a few of my friends Hopefully they turn out well

  14. Easy to follow instructions on common guerrilla art methods eg stickers, wheat paste, stencils, seed bombs, etc.I would have liked to have seen examples and historical context FYI it had a very Pinterest do good feel not very guerrilla lol.

  15. 1 As expected, I don t like it so far Seems the older I get the cynical I become towards new concepts I will continue to read because I usually end up liking the new activities foreshadowing my own future.
