So, you want to provide art lessons for your older children, who are past the color and paste stage, but you’re a little short on inspiration? This sourcebook presents 300 inexpensive, short-term projects that’ll get you started. With so many options, you’ll be able to pick and choose those best suited to the tastes (and supplies) of your family. I wouldn’t hesitate to use these activities with even younger children. Since activities are denoted by competence level (beginning / intermediate / advanced), it will be easy for you to select ones that they are capable of doing. Each lesson plan lists the purpose of the project, materials required, step-by-step procedure for completing the artwork, and a guide to help you evaluate the finished projects. Divided into seven chapters: drawing, painting, other 2-dimensional media, 3-dimensional media, unique spur-of-the-moment activities (author must have been homeschooled!), art appreciation exercises, and “miscellaneous” projects. 141 pgs with black/white illustrations.
