I Am an Artist Book Review

August 1, 2008

I Am an Artist by Pat Lowery Collins An easy to read (2-3 sentences per page) and simply lovely book about the artist in each of us. Although it's directed towards young children and their innate curiosity and interest in the natural world, I think more adults should read this kind of book. Do you see the world in an unique way? Then you're an artist. We're all artists. We should let our children and ourselves embrace and explore that. One more note, I love this book's focus on the natural world and how we see it. You don't need paints, a camera, a sketchpad or fabrics to be an artist. You just need to get out into nature, open your eyes and ears and appreciate.
