Book Reviews of Kids Art Works!: Creating With Color, Design, Texture & More (Williamson Kids Can! Series)

Book Review: Art with great results!
Summary: 5 Stars

Teachers and parents, don't miss this art resource for your kids! The author has done a wonderful job of compiling a variety of activities using a variety of materials, at a range of skill levels. I have completed a few of these projects with students aged 6-16, and they have turned out great. The materials are easily obtained, the projects generally uncomplicated, and the instructions clearly illustrated and easy to follow.

Projects include designs and pictures made with paint, glue, string, sand, cut-out paper shapes, markers, foil, beans, macaroni, glitter, plants, fabric. Techniques include drawing, experimenting with shape, line, texture and color, contrasting shapes and colors, stamping, splatter and spin, weaving, shadowboxes, 3-D sculptures of various materials, crayon resist, sponge painting. Not only can all these projects keep your kids being creative, they really turn out attractive. I have several art books for children by this same publisher and they are all excellent.

Summary of Kids Art Works!: Creating With Color, Design, Texture & More (Williamson Kids Can! Series)

This title is suitable for ages 9 to 12 years. You won't believe the masterpieces kids can create with Sandi Henry's encouragement. She turns kids loose with a wellspring of unusual ideas - everything from printing with sneaker soles to patterning based on hairstyles. And the results are awe-inspiring. Here are more than 60 adventures in printing, sculpture, weaving, drawing, painting (and much more) that explore the use of colour, texture, and pattern while celebrating each child's most important artistic tool - her imagination.
