This year's summer reading theme is art! Anyone can do art, even if you think you can't. Try it!
We also have lots of books to read about art! Perhaps you may get inspiration from them.
In Painting Pepette, a little girl wants to get an artist to paint a portrait of her stuffed rabbit, so she goes to the art market to meet with the artists. However, all of their art styles don't match Pepette's vibe, so she decides she's going to make her own painting of Pepette!
This book by the author of the Pigeon series, among others, challenges you to see art in a totally new way.
The author describes the artist's process through the eyes of a cartoon dinosaur who expresses herself through her work. Even when she makes a mistake, after some encouragement, she keeps going and brings beauty to her city.
We have a wealth of books to learn how to draw. This is just one example, but there are many more!
Don't be afraid to get messy, just make sure you have the appropriate supplies like a smock and a sink. (And a supervising adult.)
Some people think they can't draw. Max is one such kid. He draws with his friend, comparing his friend's art style to his art style, until they both realize that's just it, a style.
This is one story about a girl changed her whole neighborhood with the power of art!
We also have many more books about art, artists, and creating art!
Color your world with your art pieces and have fun with it!
