So many #nonfiction reads this month! Decided to pick this one up because I want to get back into art and also, I want to add art to my travel journal 😂 This book had A LOT of info, maybe a year's worth of uni classes?! Or close. It's not dense and uses images to show a lot of the key points, prompting ppl to just Start and learn through practice. I'd like a physical copy. There are also some prompts and tips for your nature sketching journey :)

The local urban sketchers group was meeting at the library today, so i went tried and mostly failed to represent what I saw, but I came back with 3 books, 2 on my list and 1 to try my hand at haiku's again.

In between books rn lol but went to our local Oktoberfest and got this awesome caricature of my husband and I 😂

“The blue mixed with the yellow. She discovered that she could make a GREEN dot. Vashti kept experimenting. Lots of little dots in many colors.“

This has always been one of my favorite books since I was younger because I felt like I was bad at drawing and my art teacher inspired me. She made me feel like I was amazing when in reality I'm not good.

The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds was a picture book that was published in 2003. The young girl in this tale despises art class because she believes she isn't good at drawing. Her inventiveness soars once her teacher gently advises her to start with a single dot. The narrative honors everyone's creative soul. The use of color is important in reading this because the colors express her emotions so we can see how she is feeling.
