Creating Art at the Speed of Life, Pam Carriker

Creating Art at the Speed of Life, by Pam Carriker

This is the second art journaling book I have picked up, and like the first one, it's a mixed media collage type of book, with 30 days of exercises. However, each day explores a different aspect of design, such as exploring the color wheel, or composition, line, or texture. I haven't actually done this type of art, as I am an oil painter, but I do like the book and the ideas, and I think it would be fun to explore when I have time to create just for fun rather than for commission. And this book might be good to use if one wanted to teach a class. It's very well thought out.

Mom's Little Book of Photo Tips, by Lisa Bearnson

This book, written by the editor of Creating Keepsakes magazine, gives great tips for creating interesting photos, using interesting composition, lighting, coloring, and different subjects. This is a great little book especially if you are into scrapbooking, want to be a better photographer, or even, like me, you are an artist looking for an interesting composition for your next piece of art.
