Art Lab for Kids: Express Yourself

In a follow-up to her 2012 activity book, artist and educator Schwake presents 52 all-new creative projects. Units are focused on drawing, painting, printmaking, mixed media, and paper art. The activities vary in complexity level, number of materials required, and the amount of structural guidance provided. Readers are offered more leeway to explore in a “Map of My World” project and in creating a still life drawing, though “Selfie Pop Art Prints” and bookplates require more focused attention to instructions. Photographs demonstrate the steps involved while also capturing the joy to be found through art exploration. Ages 8–12. [em](Nov.) [/em]
