Great book that encourages children to find their own artistic vision. Creative and bold; this book will help a child understand the composition that goes into creating a work of art. The colors are vibrant and jump out at you - I really think small children will be drawn into this book.

Add this to the list of #growthmindset picture books. Excited to share with Ss and Ts. Love the message: There is no right or wrong- just try and have fun!

"In fact, there are no mistakes in painting!"
A fun book with wonderful illustrations, perfect for adults and children who are intimidated by a blank canvas or page.

"There are no mistakes in painting!"

And the most important thing is to "have fun!"

[Tracey · Rating 4 out of 5]

The narrator asks a boy, “Are you keen to paint pictures, but afraid of making mistakes?” before assuring him that “there are no mistakes in painting!” He explains that art has many sizes, styles, and subjects, that not all artists have the same temperament, and that the most important thing about art is to HAVE FUN! This would be a great book to read in elementary art class on the first day of school—or to reassure nervous artists at any time.

Loads of charm and spirit, but the text is a tad too direct for my taste. Kids will adore the pictures and the message, following the dog's efforts as closely as the child's.
Pair with Liz Garton Scanlon's THINK BIG, a more natural invitation to explore creativity and expression through any outlet, and kids (readers/listeners) will absorb a degree of confidence and the essence of any art- JOY!

Miss 3 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

This was a random picture book that I chose. Miss 3 wasn't too fussed on it but I thought it was really nice the way it looks at different styles of painting and reassures kids that there's no 'wrong' way to paint and that it's okay to feel anxious or nervous.

Great encouragement for those children who need a little nudge or who are perfectionists or who are a bit shy when it comes to art. The illustrations are bright and fun and carry the point perfectly. Would be great to read to an art class or to a budding artist.

Decide who you are as an artist and love it.

This is a wonderful little inspiration.

This would be a good book for an art teacher to use. I liked the message of there are different types of artists/art and it's okay if you don't like what you painted. I could see kids being silly about the small picture of 2 people kissing in an art frame.... K-2nd

[Erin · Rating 3 out of 5]

This would be a great book to use before teaching a group of young ones how to paint. Not sure I would use it in a storytime, unless painting was a topic or activity.

[Brindi Michele · Rating 3 out of 5]

explains about different kinds of painting, feelings while painting...a good one for any topic of The Butler really.

[Jennifer · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good to read to older elementary students who sometimes become self conscious about making art. "Art and Fear" for the younger set!

[Emily · Rating 4 out of 5]

An introduction to painting that emphasizes that there is no right or wrong way to do it, as long as you have fun!
