“Artman: Elements of Art – Volume 1: Line” by Michael Markman has been released worldwide. This 32-page comic, coloring, and activity book takes a fascinating approach to art education through the exciting hero Artman, The Protector of Creativity, as he shares lessons about the elements of art, the importance of creative thinking, and wisdom about connecting with others. With vibrant illustrations and fun, interactive prompts, Artman leads readers toward discovering their own creative talents and provides valuable tools for skill development.
Inspired by young students mispronouncing his last name as “Artman,” author and teacher Michael Markman combined his love for superheroes and passion for art education to develop a character that promotes creativity, critical thinking, culture, and of course, art!
As an art teacher himself, Markman spent years building a large collection of lessons for his students. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he found that maintaining engagement through virtual teaching was a challenge, and began including Artman on worksheets as an added layer of fun. This practice continued as Markman returned to in-person teaching, ultimately evolving into a series of educational books.
With over 30 pages of art lessons and worksheets, Volume 1 of the series focuses on lines – from step-by-step instructional activities to prompts for identifying different types of line work across art styles. These lessons show art enthusiasts that even simple lines can transform into complex works of art while reinforcing important techniques that support lifelong artistic journeys.
A unique combination of comic book storytelling and interactive education, Markman’s work is designed for ages six and up, and serves as a valuable resource for teachers and students alike. The book showcases the author’s undeniable passion for creativity and inspires the same excitement for art in its readers.
Artman: Elements of Art – Volume 1: Line (ISBN: 9798218485740) can be purchased through retailers worldwide, including Amazon. The paperback retails for $12.00. Review copies and interviews are available upon request.
