Lily Yeh changed my life completely and if you read this book, your life as you know it will begin to change, as well, through the vibrancy of art in action called love. Awakening Creativity is a radical manifesto for social change through art. Lily Yeh is a transformational artist. Yes, she employs pencils, paper, paints and paintbrushes, and all manner of objects to create her world-welcoming mosaics. But the art Lily Yeh is most interested in is the art of living. She is a builder, an organizer, an alchemist, and a healer who is drawn to the broken places on the planet from Rwanda to Haiti to her own ancestral home in China. It is here in the open wounds of the world that she finds what is beautiful through the inspiration of those who live there; human beings reaching through the pain of poverty and war to create art which creates joy which is why first and foremost, Lily Yeh is a peacemaker. Follow her work and you will follow the path of transformation. --Terry Tempest Williams, The outward look of an environment makes a clear, defining statement about the values of the people and activities housed within that environment. The Dandelion School, recreated by Lily Yeh, is a dramatic demonstration of how a school's environment is a direct reflection of the teaching and learning in that setting-and how deeply the quality of the environment affects individuals' self-esteem and their own perceived worth in the community. This is a very important understanding about the built environment. Yeh, an artist, uses her art to teach people how to use their own art to discover themselves and their community. Through a collaborative process, she helps them remake their art into a larger community piece that is then applied to the immediate environment. At the Dandelion School in China, Yeh worked with students, teachers, staff and the community to take a very drab concrete structure and turn it into a place of creative expression and meaning. Yeh knows how to use her art, her spirit and her love to make a difference. "Crafting joy" best describes her work. In transforming the school environment in collaboration with the students, Yeh shows us how art and a systematic process can create both personal and environmental change. Through the process of creating art, she helps both the students and the community explore who they are, what they care about, their history and how to express their views. All these creations were synthesized into collaborative art pieces, which were then memorialized by placing them in everyday surroundings. The Dandelion School proves that you do not need vast amounts of money to create an amazing learning environment. You do need dedicated leaders open to new ideas, who understand the creative process and have the stamina to work long and hard with many different kinds of people. You need vision, compassion and the will not to quit. Yeh's book should be used as a model in run-down schools everywhere. It should be used in community development training and in every school of design. Her work is the best of what art can do to build the human spirit and make a community place. Thank you, Lily, for your work and for documenting it so carefully in this book., [excerpt, page 19] Lily Yeh was born in China and grew up in Taiwan, which she describes as "an environment imbued with Taoist and Confucian teachings. Buddhist thinking is familiar in the way we regard life... But in essence, all spiritaul practice shares one sentence. In Confucianism, it's 'Do not do to others what you don't want done to yourself.' Isn't that Jesus's teaching, love your neighbors as you love yourself'? Ultimately it's about compassion and love." Yeh, author of Awakening Creativity: Dandelion School Blossoms (New Village, 2011), has been exposed to several varieties of religious thinking, but her primary spiritual practice has been her art. "My real spiritual encounter was through the study of Chinese landscape painting," she says. "From the age of 15 until I graduated from college, I loved the tradition and threw myself into learning it. Through painting, I've come in contact with a very special place. The Chinese call it 'the dustless world.' The dust does not refer to physical pollution: it refers to the mental pollution of attachments, passions and selflessness. The paintings I studied, those that made my heart beat faster, although they are of this world-they are about trees, rocks, clouds, waterfalls, and mountains-are imbued with a pristine beauty, very powerful and full, but with an utter stillness, clarity, and serenity. I feel such peace when I look at those paintings, a deep sense of tranquility and exhilaration at the same time." ...A key spiritual practice for Yeh has been facing fear- a type of fear that has by now become a signpost, directing her to engage an opportunity fully. She first encountered it at the site of her flagship project, the vast North Philadelphia complex of mosaic sculptures, murals, and gardens known as the Village of Arts and Humanities. "Before [that project], I was just kind of doing what was laid out ahead of me," she says. "When I was given the chance to go to inner-city North Philadelphia, I was frightened. I didn't want to go. But my heart spoke in a tender voice and said, "If you don't rise to the occasion, the best of you will die, and the rest will not amount to anything.' I mustered my courage and went to that abandoned lot. The people I worked with and what I experienced there changed my life.", Awakening Creativity is a radical manifesto for social change through art. Lily Yeh is a transformational artist.

Within this broad truth, however, are myriad degrees of cultural intention. Public art can bully (Third Reich monumentalism), strut (1970s plop art), or simper (CowParade). In a few cases, it can transform a community. Of the many public artists who attempt the last, Lily Yeh is one of the few who can claim unambiguous success. In nearly 40 years of practice, the Chinese-born artist has developed a methodology founded on the principle that "art is a powerful tool for social change and that artists can be at the center of that transformation." Awakening Creativity is an approachable and evocative casebook of Yeh's methods. The Dandelion School is a small middle school in an industrial neighborhood of Beijing. The boarding school caters to the children of migrant workers--an unstable and rapidly growing segment of the country's population. (Yeh writes that the 150 million Chinese on the move represent "the biggest migration...in human history.") Although the curriculum emphasizes creativity and "cultivation of the whole person," the concrete building and grounds struck Yeh on first sight as "bland and featureless." Over a period of years, in collaboration with students and teachers, Yeh changed all that. Today, the campus sparkles with colorful mosaics and murals. As a case study, Awakening Creativity is both inspirational and detailed. In simple prose, Yeh outlines the project's workshops, planning, execution, and philosophy and includes illustrations not only of the outcome, but of student poems, artworks, and concepts that emerged from the process itself. (A useful explanation of her methodology can be downloaded from the website of her organization, Barefoot Artists.) At every step from concept to completion, Yeh recruits members of the school community, including students, as genuine collaborators in the artistic process. The result is a series of works that reverberate throughout the lives of their co-creators. The art beautifies the campus, but its impact is far deeper: it gives students the skills and the inspiration to be active co-creators of their own lives., Creativity is a certain flare of spirit that is truly unlike anything else. Awakening Creativity: Dandelion School Blossoms is a call for social change through creativity from Lily Yeh, as she shares her own drive to make the world a better place through art and tells her story of turning a wasted factory space in Beijing into something that is so much more - the Dandelion school, aimed at the local children to give them inspiration for a better future. With a certain dedication, Awakening Creativity comes with a powerful message that definitely should not be overlooked., Expert Reviews "Creativity is a certain flare of spirit that is truly unlike anything else.

    Seller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.

    The first item arrived with some damage to the inside back cover, but the seller responded immediately, assuring me they’d provide a replacement, and even told me I could keep the original. They were upfront about a short delay, and gave a clear estimated ship date, and followed up right on time once it shipped. The replacement arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. I really appreciated their transparency and professionalism. Would definitely buy from them again!
