I kind of... loved this. Great for art class ideas. This one is geared towards children a little older than mine... so maybe 8 and up, but we still used a few of the ideas in this one with success.

What a great introduction to art techniques, artists, and mediums! These projects are inexpensive, require little initial skill, explain learning concepts, list materials, and include step-by-step fully illustrated instructions, plus suggestions for ratcheting up for older kids. Most are designed for children ages 7 - 12. I was able to simplify selected projects for children ages 3 - 6. You'll seriously want to do them all!

The table of contents features a photo of the finished product which serves to both whet the appetite and find your project at-a-glance. The first three of the twenty-six projects are:

Crazy Cactus (using squeeze paint)
Abstract Cityscape (using tissue paper collage)
Fantasy Space Art (spatter paint, watercolor wash, oil pastels, and collage)

I'm definitely going to have to own this book.

Some really beautiful art projects in this book...looking forward to completing a few by the end of the school year. Lots of color which I LOVE!
