As in Susan Schwake's first book, Art Lab for Kids (Quarry Books, 2012), each project or 'Lab' can be used on its own, or to build up to a year of hands-on fine art experiences. To help inspire children's creativity, each lesson is open-ended and intended to be used time and again with different results. Each Lab takes inspiration from the work of a prominent artist, helping children gain a practical and fun grounding in art. This motivational book is a unique reference for creating fine art with children through finding the student's own voice, marks and style and with playful lessons that build key creative skills.
