Art Lab for Kids: Express Yourself: 52 Creative Adventures to Find Your Voice Through Drawing, Painting, Mixed Media, and Sculpture Kindle Edition

Perfect for children

I love the ArtLab Series. They are filled with great ideas, with easy to find materials!

Art Lab for Kids Express Yourself was written by Susan Schwake and is a follow-up to the book Art Lab for Kids.Summary: This book provides 52 creative adventures for kids-enabling them to discover new art techniques, as well as their own personal style.My Thoughts: I am a big fan of the lab series for kids, and this is another fun one.One of my favorite things about this book-all of the step-by-step pictures. I am very visual when creating art, and seeing exactly what each step should look like, really helps me communicate the projects better to my kids.The instructions were very clear and concise, and there were plenty of diverse projects to choose from-meaning you are sure to find something your child or student would enjoy.The projects start out quite simply, with minimal supplies, and kids will find plenty of varied projects to explore. In the beginning units, I would say students five and up can complete the projects, but as the units progress, there are definitely a few I would leave for those ages 9 and up.Overall, this is a great start-up book for anyone that is looking for easy, clearly-defined art projects for kids.I would like to thank Quarry Books for providing me with a digital copy of this book in exchange for my review. Thank you.

I am a veteran art educator, who has purchased and perused MANY art books, so I know a book that is worth the investment and those that are not. THIS one is chock full of UNINSPIRED ideas, and halfhearted results! Few, if any, surprises... I paged through this in record speed (which is telltale for me). Don’t waste your money on this one... It is a shame, because the author’s first Lab book is so wonderful! Buy the first one, and pass by this one... Wish I would have😔

The author's main intention is to stimulate the creative thought process in children through artwork. Children are strongly encouraged to express themselves through their own ideas - their own interpretations. It is suggested that for many children creativity needs to be nurtured. This process takes time and is most easily accomplished through repetition. Quite inspiring, wonderful illustrations depict children in the process of being creative in their own way. This is a must-have book for the development of a child on many levels.I offer my gratitude to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group / Quarry Books for this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

We have several of Susan Schwake’s books now. This is another great one. Love how it sparks our daughter’s creativity. She immediately got to work when she brought it home. Got some copies for friends as well

Tons of great information and ideas packed into an easily accessible book. Lots of fun projects ahead

We love this book as much as all of Susan's previous Art Lab Books. It is full of inspiring and accessible ideas for kids of varying ages. Most of the projects use materials that most people have on-hand but the projects in the book encourage you to use them in a new and exciting way.
