This review is from: The Usborne Book of Art Skills (Hardcover)

This is a great book, full of wonderful ideas and I highly recommend it! Just be careful when purchasing, there are two sizes: $8 for the 5"x6" version and about $15 for the 9"x12" version. As far as I can tell they are the same book, but if you want the bigger one and end up with the smaller one, it's a bit disappointing. Good luck!

This review is from: Art Skills (Art Ideas) (Hardcover)

An excellent, well explained art book, with beautiful and easy to follow illustrations. The book is a treasure chest of ideas suitable for the primary classroom. This book provides plenty of opportunities to explore the various strands of the visual arts field. A great resource for any teacher, parent or doting aunt.

I teach 4th and 5th grade art, and on a very tight budget none the less. This book has wonderful ideas that I can either add to or shorten depending on my class level. It has given me great ideas and I am looking forward to trying more.
