I am thankful that you asked Question No. 3! I read and re- read that answer; thank you! Till this point it used to really make me sad that I was not ‘arty’ enough, or ‘talented’. I could not even make ‘cutesy’ things by following simple instructions… but I want my son to enjoy Art, appreciate it and in the process believe that he can ‘create’ anything he wants (even though I struggle with that a lot).
I have been reading your blog and many other blogs who have been like a real boon for people like me; and I really like Van Gogh paintings, Matisse. I love your book recommendations!
My 3 yr old son made those swirls in the hallway wall and i really was bad about that (because we stay in a rented place). But now I know I should probably tape paper all over for him Thank you for sharing that story as well

I’m a k-1 art teacher and love your tips. I would recommend that you make a list first that could be printed or in my case I’d take an iPhone screenshot so that I could shop for these books easily with my list. Just a tip! Thanks!

Thank you for this great list and the short summary for each one. I knew several of the books but already reserved others at my library to share with my students. Willy’s pictures and Tell me a picture were totally new to me! check out Not a Box and Not a Stick for encouraging creativity,

I’d love to introduce Bee-Bo & J to Van Gogh because of the color and emotions in his work. (I’m a die hard Francophile and love that he lived in Arles!). I am in the US and will be reading Camille and the Sunflowers tomorrow to Bee-Bo.
