Book Description
Editorial Reviews
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

Art Fun by Kim Solga,
By Kara S "mike-kara" (Manchester, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Art Fun! (Art & Activities for Kids) (Paperback)
This is a must have for any art teacher!! The ideas will send a child's imagination soaring. All activities are practical, loads of fun and economical. You'll find yourself saying "wow you can do that". I teach K-8 at a parochial school and will be using the ideas constantly.

I love this book. I borrowed it from my college art instructor and had to have one for myself. This is full of usable art projects for any classroom, or group. Color photos of examples are included on EVERY page! I recommend this to anyone, those with no experience to the very skilled in art, needing ideas for art projects.

Art Fun! North Light Books,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Art Fun! (Art & Activities for Kids) (Paperback)
With creative activities being severely curtailed in so many schools, parents come to art supply stores like mine looking for good, easy, interesting and challenging (but easy) things to do with kids to spark their imaginations and get their creative juices flowing. This book provides all of the above and is well-illustrated with clear instructions that are not over-detailed. Perfect for the parent who insists that "I'm not an artist!" but who wants to encourage their children. Also great for a parent who is an artist but needs to be reminded how simple having fun with art can be. Excellent choice!
