There is not enough time for creativity on weekdays. Ahead is a long winter vacation, a chance to catch up. We offer a selection of books from the publishing house "MIF". They will help you start drawing, writing, creating crafts - in general, creating!

While we spend the winter

With this book during the holidays, you will do what you did not have enough time and moral strength for the whole year: you will come up with a cute decoration for your home, prepare a warming dessert and even knit warm mittens. Author Emma Mitchell describes step by step how to do it all in great detail. If you have never done needlework, try it: this activity will give the holidays a special emotional atmosphere, and the crafts will remind you of your talent for a long time.

How to make a movie in 39 steps

Here is a ready-made plan for a creative vacation: during the New Year's celebration, you do not let go of the gadget with the camera on, at this time you ask the guests questions, record your own "congratulations", have fun. And on January 1, you start … to create your own film about the celebration of 2018! Great, isn't it? The book "How to make a movie" will be your assistant. With her, technical moments and creative crises are not scary. Your creativity will definitely not go unnoticed!

The magic of paper

Artistic paper cutting is sheer magic! Imagine a lace tablecloth: want to learn how to cut the same delicate openwork patterns, but out of paper? This is easier than you think. In the book "The Magic of Paper" you will find 20 ready-made templates and ideas. Just enough for the whole vacation! And so that there is no unnecessary, invite your friends to create magic together.

Watercolor sketching

Probably, every person at least once in his life dreamed of learning to draw. Artists (even amateurs) see the world differently: they notice the details, feel the mood of the moment, catch the beauty at the tip of the brush. Illustrator Felix Scheinberger tells everything about the intricacies of watercolor painting: from the choice of colors to composition and professional techniques. Vacations are a great opportunity to learn something new and inspiring. If you've dreamed of drawing for a long time, don't miss the moment!

Start writing

There is no simpler and more effective way to develop creativity than writing. You will need a piece of paper and a pen. Another book with tips to overcome the fear of a blank sheet. Commit to writing one page a day, and at the end of the vacation, note what has changed in you. You will find that it is easy to start writing, more difficult to stop.

Calligraphy and lettering basics

If you are a sophisticated creator and you will not surprise you with drawing or writing, try to delve into one narrow area. For example, calligraphy and lettering. You probably won't have time to master this art so quickly that you can beautifully sign postcards for the New Year. But on the Old New Year, your friends may well count on luxurious congratulations made by your talented hand.

How art can make you happier

What do we do every vacation? As a rule, we are going to visit a museum or art gallery. Open the year, so to speak, with a cultural program. But we always put off this venture. This time, read a better book about art, which will teach you to understand and love it. And you will become happier from this, the author convinces.

What i want to tell you

Adam Kurtz, the compiler of this collection, is a great inventor. This time he decided to save us from endlessly inventing congratulations to numerous relatives, colleagues, and friends. However, inspired by his postcards, you yourself will want to make your own versions of Happy New Year greetings. If the fuse remains, and "uncongratulated" relatives and friends run out, make postcards in stock, for the next holidays!

Creativity helps us live. Fun, interesting, exciting. Like a movie you can make on vacation. Or a novel that you can write during the holidays. Creative new year!
