#CONTOUR DRAWING HOW TO#

Some of my favorites are upside down drawings, synchronized drawings, and gravity drawings. There are so many good drawing prompts in this book. If you give this gift, you will forever be known as the best gift-giver ever!! Either way, this is a killer gift for a creative child between the ages of 6-14. Or you can replace the paints with markers (I love these dual tip ones), also a key art supply that is used in this book. With the fluorescent paints it’s a $50 gift (those paints are expensive, but they go on sale often). We took this exact packet on our trip to South Carolina last summer and it kept my kids (ages 10, 14, and 17) laughing and drawing the whole vacation. It’s December right now so I’m thinking about the holidays, but really this gift is perfect for birthdays all year round. This book – plus some key art supplies – would make an awesome gift.

Each activity includes ideas for how to “Make it Silly,” and ways to vary the themes so you can play the games over and over.

Start with basic drawing games, followed by a section of activities that can be done with friends, then work with some mixed-media activities, and end with awesome tangle art games. Professional artist Jeanette Nyberg brings to life 46 drawing games that offer playful, easy ways to get a pen moving across a page, help keep the mind focused, and provide hours of guided entertainment. It’s not focused on goals, but on enjoying the process. It’s about exploring, experimenting, and getting lost in creativity.

Tangle Art and Drawing Games for Kids is perfect for families who want to sneak a little more creativity into their lives and have fun doing it. If you have a child who loves to draw then they will absolutely LOVE this book!!! Here’s what the publisher writes: So I got this idea from my friend Jeanette‘s book called Tangle Art & Drawing Games for Kids. This makes for the most hysterical – and quite honestly the most exquisite – abstract portraits! Have you ever tried them? The rule is that you can’t look down at your paper and you can’t lift your pen. Blind contour drawings are the most fun you can have drawing with another person.
