Amy at Amy Hood Arts is always doing something creative and artsy at her place. She believes in the value of experimenting and creating, and she's a strong advocate for making art together with our children. Which is exactly what she calls her art-focused e-zine: Art Together.
She's put together a brand new issue, and we were eager to check it out! So that's what we did this week. It is packed with goodies. There is so much to read and do. And do and do and do. We've only scratched the surface this week.
Making even one of the projects, just made us want to make more and more of that project. I've never made a collage like Amy's before. She included prompts and a playful format that even a beginner like me could use to grow some new creative vision. I'm hooked, for sure. What a clever approach!
My girl who can't keep her nose out of a book for too long, chose Amy's book-making project. I think this will be the Summer of Books in a whole new way this year. I am brimming with ideas for how we'll use all the books I sense we'll be making. They're beautiful, full of heART, and wide open for more exploration.
You can purchase Art Together Summer 2014: Mixed Media/Collage, as well as previous issues, by visiting her website.

This looks like fun. The crafter in me is ready for some new art. Thanks for posting this. KG
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea. In a home where we can't get through the day without creating something....and noses in books, this would be something we would love. BTW, I love the sunflower art. I hope that's part of the book.
ReplyDeleteKai is always hesitant to make art together. :(
ReplyDeleteBut I love these, especially the blue and purple one.
