On My Wishlist This Year…

Hey friends.. I always love seeing what other people are interested in (especially art books and products) so let me show you what’s on my Christmas wish list this year!

1.  The Big Book of Art, an interactive book for preschoolers.  Partly for my inspiration, partly for my daughter…  Here is what the description says, “This is your first book of art! Grab it, flip through the pages, turn it upside down?what do you see? Scribbles and splotches, shapes and letters, signs and lines? You’re the artist: mix and match the patterns paintings by simply turning the page. Use your creativity and imagination – and most importantly, have fun!

From the New York Times bestselling author of Press Here comes a new interactive book for pre-school children. The Big Book of Art features different colors, shapes, and patterns on pages that have been cut in two, presenting hundreds of possibilities for unique combinations. Young artists will delight in creating their own masterpieces time and time again.”

2.  Set of 28 Gelatos:  These are one of my favorite art supplies and I’m starting to use up the ones I have.  I have about 12 colors, so having more choices would be amazing!

3.  Mixed Media Masterpieces:  The authors of the blog Everyday is a Holiday came out with a book.  They have the sweetest and cutest artwork and they just seem so nice!

4.  Creative Illustration and Beyond:  Stephanie Corfee is another artist with cute, colorful and inspirational artwork that I love.

5.  And last but not least,

A Retired Art Teacher Tells All: One Hundred Simple Tips to Help Teachers Become Efficient, Inspiring, and Happy Educators.  Because I’m always interested in learning more about teaching art.
