Introduction

Rocks are the perfect canvas for making beautiful art. Typically, when people think of creating art on rocks, they imagine using a brush and some paint. But did you know that almost anything you can do on paper or canvas can also be done on rocks? This rock art handbook will take you through more than different techniques for fun and creative ways to decorate rocks.

Heres the best thing about creating art on rocks: rocks are not intimidating. Theres something quite different about looking at a simple, natural rock compared with staring at an overwhelming blank canvas or piece of paper. Many people often freeze when it comes to creating art because they just dont think they can. With rocks, you cananyone can!

Rock art is nothing new. In fact, the oldest known rock art dates back to the late Stone Age. Throughout history, rock art has been found all over the world as part of many different cultures. Today, rock art is being enjoyed even by people who have never before felt comfortable creating art. Adults, children, parents, grandparents, and teachers are all sharing this beautiful activity together. Its an art that crosses all generations. What brings so many people together over the simple idea of decorating a rock?

For adults, decorating a rock brings us back to our childhood, when we created from our heart with no expectations other than simply to enjoy the process. For children, theres something magical about turning a treasure into something more personal that they can be proud of. If you want to see someone shine, give that person a rock and let him or her create.

Whether youre an adult or a child, a natural-born artist or unable to draw a stick figure, theres something for you in this book. Let go of your art expectations and just enjoy decorating rocks. I promise youll love it.
