Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-8-Packed to the brim with appealing projects and easy-to-follow instructions, this volume makes a terrific case for the argument that everyone can be an artist. Each of the four chapters is devoted to instructing readers in the basics of one technique-drawing, creating with color, sculpture, and mixed-media projects, respectively-and then inspires those readers to let loose and have fun making something beautiful. There really is something for every child to do and enjoy in this book-activities range from simple blind contour drawings to creating mobiles to making stencils to crafting papier-mache hats and masks to building dioramas and room dividers. Adults will be charmed to see sly allusions to Vincent van Gogh, Georgia O'Keeffe, Georges Seurat, Jackson Pollock, and Marcel Duchamp (among many others), and to some of the techniques that made them famous. The book features clear layouts, well-written definitions of terms, full-color illustrations, and more than 90 projects. Parents and teachers (to say nothing of librarians who organize craft sessions) will appreciate the in-home availability and low cost of most items required for the activities. A good basic glossary of art terms and a fine index are also included. This practical, lively, and smart package is a must-have for every art and elementary school classroom, and a welcome addition to most library collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars great resource, December 18, 2007
great resource for art projects. I have used this book in my classroom for a few years and I have taken ideas and full projects from it. It is a great resource for the 6-12 age range.

Clear, colorful instructions. Projects are made with all types of media and are imaginative and dynamic. Drawing skills fostered through sketch book ideas. Packed with information and learning while having so much fun with art.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great jumping off points, well put together., July 15, 2009
First I must say a major pet peeve of mine is when someone "reviews" the condition of a book. This is supposed to address content, not whether or not your seller shipped timely or the book was in top shape. Oy.

That being said, I do like this book a lot. I am a mom who is often looking for more meaningful art projects that offer a bit of instruction as well as being creative, I also seek inspiration. This book does all that and more. The Jumbo Book of Art offers you lots of photos to guide you and ways to change the projects. I am looking forward to seeing the outdoor version of the book. I would encourage parents and teachers to check this one out. Applause for Ms. Luxbacher for a fine book that has become a much used reference guide for our family.
