o Father’s Day is June 17, and May and June are graduation months, so be sure to remember the special people in your life. Frame your Dad, Gift your Grad! UArt has all kinds of cool stuff to make your Dad’s & Grad’s days great.
Gift Someone an”Art Basket”
Art supplies of all kinds always make a great surprise gift. Consider making an “art basket” of a picture frame, canvas, brushes, watercolors, acrylics, pastels, a sketchbook, a journal – maybe even an easel! Traditional, freestanding easels are great, especially if there’s adequate space, UArt carries portable “tabletop” easels that are compact, easy to carry and travel with. If your Dad or Grad is artistically inclined, there’s no better gift to spark their creative juices. If not, give them a jumpstart! You may not think of your Dad (or grad) as “artsy-craftsy,” but most everyone has an inner-artist just dying to get out. Giving them tools close at hand might encourage them to try something new and explore a whole new side of themselves.
Remember to Play!
UArt is an art store, a crafts store, a gift store, a frame store, a hobby store…you name it – if it’s creative, it’s here : ) Studies show that doing things that are out of your usual routine can be terrific for your memory and cognitive skills. So when you dabble with paint on canvas, sketch in a journal, sculpt with clay or get zen with mindful coloring books, your brain lights up and your senses ignite. “Play” is probably one of the most under-practiced activities by adults. So remember to remind the people you love to make some time for just plain fun : )
