Art Lab for Kids: 52 Creative Adventures in Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Paper, and Mixed Media-For Budding Artists of All Ages (Volume 1) Review: A plethora of ART projects for kids! - I used this book for project ideas and as a guide when teaching an art elective to elementary school students ages 9-11. It's filled with unique projects that are based in real art techniques and styles, making it an incredible teaching tool. As a former music teacher in the public schools, I can greatly appreciate the organization and layout of this book -- very easy to navigate and follow. Each project is presented in lesson plan format, including materials needed, how to present the project, stepped-out instructions with demonstrative photos, and a list of ways to go further with the project. Beautiful art examples are given from a variety of artists, both professional and inspiring young student artists. You'll find tons of ideas for drawing, painting, printmaking, paper, and mixed media! The kids I worked with LOVED the string painting project! There are lots of crafty books out there for kids which are great, but what sets this book apart is that it truly teaches ART to kids! I recommend this book to anyone who teaches art to kids, caregivers looking for ways to include art in their child's life, adults who are budding artists, classroom teachers, daycare providers, and activity coordinators for people of all ages. Fantastic book! Review: Another brilliant book in the Lab Series - Looking to homeschool the kids next year I was trying to find something to fill the art gap. I love all aspects of art, but when it comes to getting my kids involved it can be somewhat challenging to say the least. Already owning the Mixed Media lab book and using a few lessons with our summer camp last year, I was excited to find this book at the library so I could check it out first. The Lab Series is great on so many levels. It gives lists of supplies that are recommended, and then reminds you that if you're lacking specific materials, just start with what you have and build your stash slowly. Teaching well rounded art to my kids is important, and alone I was afraid that I would make things too difficult, or (gasp) boring for them. This is a great starting point. So much so that I didn't return it to the library until they told me I couldn't keep renewing it.... so I bought it. As with all Lab books I have encountered, all the exercises are seperate from each other. Yes, they have themed units, (such as Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Paper, and Mixed Media) but you can skip things you don't have supplies for, or aren't in the mood to do, and still be able to pull off a successful experience. As my children are in the 7-12 age range, this book will work well for us. Each lab is based on a different artist's style, so some art appreciation will be had as you talk about the original master, and may even be interested to do more research on your favorites. Different mediums are used as stated before, so you are able to dabble in different forms and get your feet wet without the need for perfection. One of my favorite labs has to be #13- painting like a fauvist. There is no way to make a perfect picture when you have to do the whole thing in shades of green or blue... helps us not be too intimidated and take art so seriously when our picture looks like the Wicked Witch when it's over. I highly recommend this book, and all books from the Lab Series. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #32,448 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #12 in Mixed Media (Books) #37 in Crafts for Children (Books) #69 in Children's Drawing Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,547) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.75 x 8.55 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | Grade level | Preschool - 5 | | ISBN-10 | 1592537650 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1592537655 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Lab for Kids | | Print length | 144 pages | | Publication date | February 1, 2012 | | Publisher | Quarry Books | | Reading age | 4 - 10 years, from customers | ## Images ![Art Lab for Kids: 52 Creative Adventures in Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Paper, and Mixed Media-For Budding Artists of All Ages (Volume 1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91kW-G4V3yL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A plethora of ART projects for kids! *by S***0 on January 22, 2014* I used this book for project ideas and as a guide when teaching an art elective to elementary school students ages 9-11.

I bought it used and it looks brand new! Its just a little too advanced for my 8 yr old daughter who is already an amazing artist. However with me helping her understand it, the techniques in the book will most certainly help her advance even further. It explains how to use watercolors, oil pastels and other mediums which is nice since, although she likes to use these, she has no idea how to use them correctly. With this book that will no longer be an issue! At the used book price of only about $5 (including shipping) it was a GREAT purchase that I am very happy with!! ## Frequently Bought Together - Art Lab for Kids: 52 Creative Adventures in Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Paper, and Mixed Media-For Budding Artists of All Ages (Volume 1) (Lab for Kids, 1) - How to Teach Art to Children, Grades 1-6, Learn and Use Elements of Art, Line, Shape, Color, Value, Texture, Form, & Space.
