Art, it’s a wonderful part of the life don’t you find? Today I am focusing on visual arts like drawing, painting, sculpting and what not. Things you look at and make with your hands, feet or mouth. 🙂 Not everyone does art the same way do they? So if you want to learn art, here are some places to go.

Book Reviews you might want to check out
I adore the 642 Things to draw series. I’ve reviewed a few of them and think they are fantastic for inspiring conversation and imagination over an art prompt idea. You will find one review here. And another here. Grab up a couple of drawing pages, sit down and draw. Talk about how an art prompt inspired you. Laugh, be amazed, and just draw.

Draw, Print, Paint like the Great artists continues to be a favourite of mine. And this Zentangles book made for a really fun class at HOPE days that I would happily do again. I had a series of How to Draw books that we used for ideas when stuck. Fine Art Adventures was a great book as well that we have used. You must check out this Doll Crafts book as well. So many great ideas for making dolls! Don’t fail to check out the Get into Art Places book. These are just a few of the great books I’ve been honoured to review.
