"Do it because you're thinking it and feeling it and it's got to be expressed. So just get on with it." These are the words of British Afro-Caribbean artist Sonia Boyce on the creation of art.

Boyce is one of the many artists included in the book Women's Art Work: More Than 30 Female Artists Who Changed the World. The book's illustrations help introduce these Five Women Artists' Stories in the Tate Kids video above.

Featured artists include Boyce, British sculptor Barbara Hepworth, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, American artist Georgia O'Keeffe, and Indian bookmaker and photographer Dayanita Singh. They are just a few of the book's biographies on women who have changed the art world through their questions, explorations, and creations.

Using rolled strips of repurposed newspaper, cut and painstakingly placed using wood glue, Japanese artist Chie Hitotsuyama creates beautifully detailed, three-dimensional sculptures of wild animals... walruses, rabbits, sea turtles, iguanas, monkeys, dugongs, and more. Her work is inspired by the unnoticed daily perseverance of animals in nature. From Kokusai Pulp & Paper:

"I came across a wild rhinoceros at a national park in Zambia, Africa, which I visited at the request of one NGO in 2007 when I was working as an illustrator," recalls Ms. Hitotsuyama. "The rhino was injured because of human egos. I heard from the park ranger who guided me that rhinos have been killed brutally by poachers who want their horns. From my wish to share this reality with many more people, I created my first work, a rhinoceros ...

After that, I became strongly aware of what life is all about, what it means to live," explains Ms. Hitotsuyama. "Animals that live in nature are equal to us in the sense that we live together on this planet. Sometimes they sleep. Sometimes they eat. They are living ordinary everyday lives just like us. I would like keep insisting on reality and producing my life-sized work as much as possible in order to convey their lives."

Hitotsuyama's paper work is multi-generational: Her Fuji-based studio is located in the old warehouse of a paper strip manufacturing plant that was once operated by her family.

Award-winning artist and author Christoph Niemann has quite a few books and apps for kids of all ages - , , as well as Petting Zoo and Chomp. In this Quartz video, he shares examples from his new book Sunday Sketching and talks about the perception-bending play that goes into his art-making. With equal parts boldness and whimsy, that play can turn an ink jar into a camera, headphones into a gorilla, and an avocado into a catcher's mitt.

Making art with everyday objects ... an excellent art project to try at home.

Look at the examples of artwork by Adam Hillman in the link below. He makes art using everyday objects you can find around your house. Look around! What supplies can you find at home for this? Pasta, buttons, pennies, crayons, socks, kitchen utensils? Anything goes!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Calling himself an "object arranger," Adam Hillman sees the beauty in things organized neatly. Taking everyday things like matches, cotton swabs, and push pins, he meticulously places them in mesmerizing patterns that transform them from the ordinary into the extraordinary. Divorced from their original function, the items hardly look like themselves, and with Hillman's intervention, they function as a single form that electrifies the composition.

While every one of Hillman's pattern arrangements is impressive, his food organization is some of his best work. Preparing these edible materials often involves delicate peeling or precise slicing, which is both time consuming and unpredictable-you never know how an Oreo's icing is going to look until you twist it open. It requires the utmost patience; a trait best shown in his photograph of Fruit Loops cereal that's arranged in a square gradient pattern suspended in a milky bath.

Hillman sells prints of his obsessively arranged art on Society6.

Through meticulous pattern arrangement, Adam Hillman creates visually soothing photos.

From everyday objects to food, Hillman organizes it all.

Some are arranged in rainbow colors, while others place an emphasis on shape design through negative space.

Whatever the items may be, Hillman shows how satisfying it is to see things organized neatly.

Using water to diffuse the watercolor paints helps create a delicate, weightless effect. Drying the painting between layers increases their transparent qualities.

This layered petals technique can be applied to different kinds of flowers with any color, or even multiple colors. Or why not try it with other plants and objects: Leaves, wings, fabrics, glass, and more. This second petal layers video, below, demonstrates with different species and colors.

Gather some different kinds of paper... you can use magazines, newspaper, envelopes, paper bags, food wrappers, etc.  Look for parts of the paper you can  cut hearts out of. Once you have your pieces, start to cut your hearts. Try to cut 10-20 hearts from all of the different paper you have. Try to make your hearts all different sizes. After you have made all of your hearts, arrange them on a base in a way that is interesting. Overlapping and going off the page helps to make your artwork more interesting. Glue your hearts down when you are happy with your arrangement. Then hang your artwork in a window to show support for our heroes!

Find an object at home you would like to draw. Think about an object that expresses an idea or something about you. It could be a favorite stuffed animal, a pet, your favorite toy, or any other object. Look at it very carefully trying to see the shapes and lines that make the object. Draw the object with pencil. Then color it with whatever materials you have.
