Two out of three of my kids are artistic. My girls love to draw. I love that this is something they often do together. Needless to say, I encourage this activity! It’s quiet (usually) and they aren’t glued to a screen. Quarto Knows has some great books to inspire them and foster their creativity. They’re perfect for stocking stuffers!
Folk Art Fusion is a small, hardcover book that teaches how to paint folk art with step by step instructions. This isn’t a style of art my girls have explored before but I think they’ll really enjoy it! It’s colorful and includes fun patterns.
The images are completed in several easy steps using a black permanent marker and paint/paint pens. You can use the image as a template but I think my girls would like creating their own patterns as well and using the basic image as a starting point. Either way, this will be a fun project for them that will keep them entertained for hours!
My youngest daughter has recently become interested in anime art. She is going to LOVE The Little Book of Manga Drawing, that will show her more than 50 tips and techniques for learning the art. I can’t wait to see what she draws with the help of this book!
My oldest daughter is more into fun and quirky sketches so The Little Book of Sketching is going to be a great gift for her! This book is really cool. It is packed with creative prompts, fun animal facts, and step-by-step doodling projects. This book encourages thinking outside of the box and creating one of a kind drawings. Rather than just copying images, it will allow her to come up with some of her own ideas, using the prompts for inspiration.
The Little Book of Lettering & Word Design will be great for both of my girls. You can use lettering on it’s own to create quote art work or use it for posters, labeling and adding sayings to your artwork and so much more! It’s always fun to have different ways to express yourself and this lettering book will teach them more than 50 tips and techniques to master many different styles.
It’s going to be fun Christmas this year! These books and a few art supplies to go with them and they’ll stay busy creating over winter break and beyond. Find these titles and more at www.quartoknows.com.
