Art books to inspire creativity
Kid’s books can inspire us to see the world through their eyes, but their artistic styles can inspire you to create art. We love using children’s books as art books for kids because the art tells the story in the books with more than words.
Of course you can use “art books” that are geared to tell you how to draw or paint, but the art in children’s books demonstrate how art supplies and creativity can be used.
