Art Lab For Kids

Es una publicación muy interesante para trabajar el arte con niños. Lo recomiendo.

This is a really excellent book. I've been using it with my children this summer to bring more art into our lives. They range from age 4-13, and everyone participates and enjoys it. This is not a book with detailed instructions for each medium, but gives nice projects to introduce kids to a variety of mediums with some suggestions on how to accomplish it. Because I have some art background I will sometimes give more detailed suggestions for method. I actually like that it isn't too detailed, for it allows for a freedom of expression without being bogged down by form. I have been blown away with my kids' finished pieces. I am using this book as an outline for my own art class, and we haven't actually used any other material yet. We've completed four projects and I think we will use most of the lessons in the book. (I'm less interested in things like the printing lessons, but that has to do with my own interest and ability to set it up for four kids at my kitchen table) this book likely works best when the process is explained for younger children. My 11 and 13 year Olds could follow it on their own, but my 7 year old may hesitate and benefits from a real life, real time example.

Libro in inglese su laboratori artistici per bambini della scuola primaria e magari primi anni delle medie. Corredato di foto e spiegazioni, mini-manuale su 52 opere da laboratorio. Lo consiglio, mi sembra ottimo

Fun activities for kids... Without much hassles of extravagant materials...beautiful results in the end...

I am a homeschool parent and I love doing art with the kids, but usually my projects are haphazard and too much time in between. This book has been an awesome way to learn some new techniques and try projects we've never done before. We are just going through chapter by chapter, which helps me to stay organized! My boys, 10 and 7, are really enjoying it a lot. I highly recommend it!
