I struck the jackpot with this art book!
Art Lab for Kids (add the 52 Creative Adventures part) is a fabulous book with easy to follow photographs. Budding artists or explorers will love paging through to find the perfect project.
Wonderful features make this book a complete volume with 52 different adventures in art. The author lists materials, gives detailed instructions, asks readers to "Think First," and includes photographs that illustrate key points. She also has a feature called "Meet the Artist" for each art lab adventure. Readers can read about and see the artwork of 52 different artists. And just when you thought she was done, Schwake added yet one more piece - "Go Further." This is provided for each art adventure and encourages readers to continue the process and go further with the project.
If you want to dabble in different art media projects, this book will suit you just right.
