Make Art with Nature: Find Inspiration and Materials From Nature - 01


Make Art with Nature is a book that introduces children (7-9) to art making with natural materials.

This is a 126-page hardcover published by DK Books, and written by artist and author Pippa Pixley.

The book is beautifully laid out and every spread is a visual treat. The book's educational since it talks about how you can create paint, pigments, colours from different plants and materials you can find in nature.

The book has many projects that you can follow along, such as creating ink from onion skins, making paper, creating collage with paper cutouts, drawing with charcoal and more. Of course it is not gonna be possible to follow along with all the projects unless you have the necessary raw materials.

This is a fun book for kids on exploring art.
