Art Life. Fast Art. Project Collage

Bev Speight
Art Life is for everyone. It is an invitation to take a creative journey – making your own fantastic art along the way. A collection of captivating projects designed to unleash your creativity, with an engaging structure based around four distinct categories for exploring ideas – line, book, traces, and paper. For each of these there are numerous projects and accessible methods for creating art, and you are encouraged to try whatever inspires you, without pressure or any preconceptions. Enjoy the element of surprise and satisfaction in creating something that evolves, rather than following a rigid plan. You will be amazed by what you can achieve.
Introducing work in every conceivable medium with sensational art and new photos, this book will let you enjoy the creative process, relax, and enjoy the art escape.

Project Collage is my exciting new book will be available from March 2019 – published with Octopus books and Tate. Project Collage is the first in new series of art books that I have designed for the Tate.
