The Guerilla Art Kit

Everything You Need to Put Your Message out into the World

Keri Smith

A positive and fun way to counteract the powerlessness that the current political climate has brought to young people, The Guerilla Art Kit is geared toward creative 20-somethings. Readers are encouraged to share their messages with the world, demonstrating that they can directly affect their environment on a regular basis by leaving art and ideas in public places such as their street, their front yard or their office.

The activities are simple, fun and have a positive result. Created with an innovative small notebook-style design with spiral binding, the book has a homemade, eclectic look, implementing found paper and simple line drawings. Quick exercises include leaving a book for a stranger to find or chalking a message on the sidewalk. There are also more involved projects such as making a wish tree, guerrilla gardening or designing your own stencils. Whatever the choice, The Guerilla Art Kit is all about leaving a mark on the world in a fun and creative way.

KERI SMITH is the author of Living Out Loud: Activities to Fuel a Creative Life and Tear Up This Book! The Sticker, Stencil, Stationery, Games, Crafts, Doodle, and Journal Book for Girls! She blogs daily at Wish Jar Journal, which has over 10,000 readers every day.
