This wonderful book was one of my Christmas gifts - along with a couple of other art books that I've been lusting over for a while - and I've had my head stuck in them ever since!!
The best bit of this book for me is the series of artistic challenges at the end. I like an interesting starting point!
My favourite ideas from the book are "Paint a Dream", which I suppose is self-explanatory, and "Pay Attention", which involves making art based on three things you notice just going about your normal day.
I love the concept of noticing what's always around you, seeing it with fresh eyes, and finding beauty in unexpected places.

ReplyDeleteLuLu how funny you have the same book - it's great isn't it? I love it already and I haven't even read it all yet!
Wow, that looks like a wonderful book, lots of ideas! I wonder how "Paint a dream" would work as an IA challenge.....
ReplyDeleteStephanie yes it crossed my mind about possibly suggesting some of them as team challenges - some great starting points!
ReplyDeleteI have this book, maybe I will have to dig it out again. Sometimes, when I look at other people's art too much, it jangles my brain off my track. Know what I mean?
