    About this ebook

    This is an inspirational read about the creative process which can be supplemented by the printed, art journal style coloring book of the same title. Many people create and produce without giving time and place to all the aspects of their projects, such as thorough pre-production, or final release. Though short, this book is meant to stimulate the reader to develop the concepts in their own experience to create, invent and build in a fuller, more thorough process. Coming from more than 40 years experience of a practicing artist and arts leader, the concepts are insightful for any field. The title refers to a special grid Turner has devised to ask the best questions of your project at three stages of development: inspiration, execution and exhibition. Turner provides prompts and challenges to help you think through your project whether it is in the arts, business, education, science, or other fields. A Facebook group page, called "Table of Creation," is offered for all who might benefit by interacting around the insights gained from the book, or just seeing others' unique treatments of pages from the art journal version found at https://bit.ly/TableCrtn1.

    Mark R. Turner

    Mark Turner is a visual artist, filmmaker, writer and artistic leader. He has produced and taught in five major regions of the globe as the director of Horizon Gate Productions, a non-profit arts organization which he co-founded with his wife in 1981. His emphasis has been in multi-media to tell stories and produce contemplative experiences using his visuals, poetry and soundtracks. He is currently creating tangible and digital art of inspirational and metaphorical images which he then re-purposes as motion graphics films with rich sound tracks of his poetry, sound effects and music. All this is exhibited together in a conversational atmosphere called the Film Gallery Cafe which can be booked in many venues.

      About the Author

      Preface

      This is actually an extended essay from a series of blog posts. Before I could get all the posts online, I thought the collection would make for more contemplative material as graphics to be personalized by the reader's handwork. So, the first version of the book is a cross between inspirational non-fiction and coloring book. I invite you to get that version and use it like a workbook for this e-book. It will facilitate your personal growth like it benefited me to make it. You can find the workbook version at http://thebp.site/97864.

      As an artist I have come to realize that the actual art objects we make will not last as long as the spiritual life they affirm and call us to. So, I would
