Draw with Confidence and Creativity!

New in paperback! Creativity occurs in action. It is not a trait; it is something you do. To be creative, you need to engage in the art-making process. When you are "in the flow," you shift out of the future and into the present, making connections, generating variations and surrendering to the process.

   • Take your doodling from mindless to masterful
   • Create your own reality by crumbling, melting or breaking objects
   • Flip the familiar on its ear to create something utterly original
   • Experiment with visual paradox and metaphor
   • Tell vivid stories through the details in your drawings
   • Play with patterns to create captivating compositions
   • Build your drawings by borrowing ideas from different cultures
   • Develop a theme in your work

Kami and the Yaks 6 Jul, 2022

by Andrea Stenn Stryer, Bert Dodson

( 8 )

₹ 396.00

Just before the start of a new trek, a Sherpa family discovers that their yaks are missing. Young Kami, anxious to help his brother and father maintain their livelihood, sets off by himself to find the wandering herd. A spunky deaf child who is unable to speak, Kami attempts to summon the yaks with his shrill whistle. Failing to rout them, he hustles up the steep mountainside to search the yaks' favorite grazing spots. On the way he encounters the rumblings of a fierce storm which quickly becomes more threatening. Surmounting his fear of being alone in the midst of treacherous lightning and hail, Kami uses his heightened sense of observation to finally locate the yaks. Reunited with their animals, the astonished family is once again able to transport their gear and guide the mountain climbers into the majestic terrain.
This tender, evocative story of the empowerment of a deaf child received the Schneider Family Book Award of the American Library Association in 2008.
