RIP This Book is a creative activity book with prompts to draw, doodle, paint stick, rip, collage, wreck and inspire creativity. Discover fun new ways to create, get messy and enjoy the process of making art. Do you often feel like you want to scribble all over the page, draw outside the lines and make messy art like you did when you were a little kid? Do you feel intimidated by beautifully pristine art journals? Is your creative spark stifled by the pressure to be neat and produce 'proper' art? Or are you a parent looking for a creative gift to encourage screen free time? Then this book is for you! RIP This Book is your invitation to make a beautiful mess, be perfectly imperfect and free yourself of your creative shackles. Embrace the messy, fun, juvenile art you used to love and don't worry if you wreck this book in the process. Remember those days in preschool when art was all about having fun, trying out new textures, processes and materials and getting really messy in the process? Striving for a perfect end result was never the goal...... It was all about experimenting, having fun, and the freedom to explore new ways to be creative. RIP This Book is filled with arty, crafty, creative challenges to take you on a journey of creativity, back to those finger painting days in preschool where you did leaf rubbings and butterfly pictures and came home covered in paint glue and glitter. Rediscover your creative roots and fall in love with your arty crafty side all over again (just don't eat the paint this time!) Get ready to smudge, smear, scratch and sprinkle your creative glitter all over the pages of this book. It's time to rest your intentions and make creativity about the process and not the end result. WARNING: This creative journal may get ruined on purpose. Do I really have to RIP the book? I like ripping because it feels uncontrolled, impulsive and a little bit 'naughty', like it's againast the rules, and the results aren't always predictable- that chimes with my ethos for this book. A couple of prompts which involve ripping or cutting the pages of the book in a creative way but it isn't all about ripping...... The title RIP this book is also a play on R.I.P (Rest In Peace) because the book is going to get messy, wrecked or completely destroyed through the creative process and will never look the same again. The final challenge is to create an obituary for the book- a kind of celebration of the book and a look back on it's journey.
