Description

Author Susan Schwake has laid out 52 art lessons for parents and teachers to use with one or more students. Photos make her directions easy to follow and she uses materials that are readily available, like white glue, road maps, plastic wrap and foam trays. With each project, a contemporary artist is profiled as inspiration. The projects are quite original and go beyond arts and crafts to teach kids some real art skills, like drawing negative space and creating a torn paper landscape. There is a master list of materials which includes newspapers, plastic containers, waxed paper, watercolors, charcoal pencils and aluminum foil. Kids of various ages could easily do these projects together at their own ability levels and have a good time! 144 pgs, pb ~ Sara

Publisher's Description of Art Lab For Kids
Art Lab for Kids is a refreshing source of wonderful ideas for creating fine art with children. This step-by-step book offers 52 fun and creative art projects set into weekly lessons, beginning with drawing, moving through painting and printmaking, and then building to paper collage and mixed media.

Each lesson features and relates to the work and style of a contemporary artist and their unique style. The labs can be used as singular projects or to build up to a year of hands-on fine art experiences. Grouped by medium, the labs are set up loosely to build skills upon the previous ones; however, you can begin anywhere.

Have fun exploring:
 
  • drawing by creating a whimsical scene on a handmade crayon scratchboard.
  • painting by using watercolors and salt to create a textured landscape.
  • printmaking by using lemons, celery, mushrooms, and other produce to make colorful prints.
  • paper by creating an expressive self-portrait using pieces of colored tissue paper.
  • mixed media by making insects from patterned contact paper and watercolor pencils.

Color photos illustrate how different people using the same lesson will yield different results, exemplifying the way the lesson brings out each artist’s personal style. Art Lab for Kids is the perfect book for creative families, friends, and community groups and works as lesson plans for both experienced and new art teachers.
