Bridget's Beret


Bridget's Beret by Tom Lichtenheld, Christy Ottaviano Books (Henry Holt and Co.), 2010, ISBN 978-0-8050-8775-8
PS: When Bridget loses the beret that provides her with artistic inspiration like other great artists, she thinks she will never be able to draw again.
Cute, colorful book about drawing and painting and good old childhood enthusiasm! The author slips in a few references to famous artwork by Warhol, Van Gogh, Whistler, and whoever drew the Uncle Sam "I Wnat You" posters. At the back of the book you'll find "How to Start Your Art: Bridget-approved ideas for inspiring yourself, based on techniques used by many famous beret-wearing artists." For more ideas and inspiration, check out the author's website.
