Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who is a fan of Abstract expressionism, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider for this Christmas. These gift ideas will not only cater to his interests but also allow him to explore and express his passion for this art movement.

1. Artwork or Prints: One of the most obvious choices for an abstract expressionism enthusiast is to gift him an artwork or a print by a renowned abstract expressionist artist. You can choose a piece that reflects his taste and aesthetic preferences. This can be a valuable addition to his art collection and provide inspiration for his own creative endeavors.

2. Art Books and Magazines: Help your son delve deeper into the world of abstract expressionism by gifting him books and magazines about the movement. Look for publications that explore the history, techniques, and philosophies of abstract expressionism. This will not only expand his knowledge but also provide him with new perspectives and ideas.

3. Painting Classes or Workshops: If your son has expressed an interest in creating his own abstract expressionist artworks, consider gifting him painting classes or workshops. These classes will provide him with guidance and techniques to further develop his skills and enhance his understanding of the art movement. Look for local art schools, community centers, or online courses that specifically focus on abstract expressionism.

4. Art Supplies: Encourage his creativity by gifting him high-quality art supplies. Abstract expressionism often involves bold brushstrokes, vibrant colors, and unique techniques. Opt for acrylic or oil paints, various types of brushes, canvas, and palette knives. Investing in quality art supplies will allow him to experiment and explore his own artistic style.

5. Museum Membership: Consider getting your son a membership to an art museum or gallery that showcases abstract expressionist works. This will provide him with the opportunity to immerse himself in the art movement, attend exclusive events, and explore different exhibitions. It can be a source of continuous inspiration and a chance to encounter artworks by his favorite abstract expressionist artists.

6. Studio Space: If your son is serious about creating his own abstract expressionist artworks, consider transforming a part of your home into his own creative space. Set up an art studio with proper lighting, easels, shelves, and a space dedicated solely to his artistic endeavors. This personalized studio will be a perfect space for him to express himself and let his creativity flow.

Remember, the key to finding a meaningful and personal gift for your son is to consider his interests and provide him with opportunities to explore and further develop his passion for abstract expressionism. By choosing a gift that caters to his unique artistic taste, you will not only support his pursuits but also demonstrate your understanding and support for his artistic journey.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
