The books that inspire me Art Made Easy podcast with Patty Palmer

Whenever I find myself stuck for inspiration, I always turn to books. Picture books are a secret passion of mine. I love looking at the exquisite illustrations as it puts me back in touch with why art is important.

Children learn much about the world through books and as educators we can use books to help children understand what we are teaching.

This episode shares my list of favorite art books not just for the art room but for everyday inspiration.
