Art Fun!

Help young artists develop their creativity, imagination and talents, and have hours of fun along the way! Kids will love these fun-filled art adventures, including:

Print Making! Experiment with patterns and shapes using bars of soap blocks, buttons, leaves, vegetables and, the simplest of tools of all, fingers.
Sculpting! Making clay "critter pots," cardboard tube towers, life-size self-portraits and time capsules.
Drawing! Encourage kids to try watercolor paints, felt-tip pens, crayons, pastel chalks and charcoal and colored pencils on everything from paper bags to adding machine tape.

From School Library Journal:

Grade 1-6?Ten previously published books from the "Art & Activities for Kids" series (North Light) are reissued as chapters in these two large volumes. Art Fun! includes Paint! Draw! Make Prints! Make Sculptures! and Paint Adventures!. A wide range of materials and techniques are employed in the attractive and inventive crafts. Easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions and full-color photos result in a clean, crisp presentation. Hard-to-find basic drawing techniques, including 3-D effects and shading, are particularly well done. Craft Fun! includes Make Crafts! Make Clothes Fun! Make Cards! Gifts! and Make Costumes! Again, the activities and design are of high quality. One regrettable exception is the stereotypical "Indian" costume found side-by-side with clowns, monsters, vampires, etc. Both books provide instructive information for parents/adults, but safety icons found in some crafts are often difficult to spot and at times inappropriate. These titles may be useful to libraries looking for supplements to their arts' area, but those who purchased the original titles will find nothing new.?Paula A. Kiely, Milwaukee Public Library, WI
