Art Workshop for Children: How to Foster Original Thinking with more than 25 Process Art Experiences (Workshop for Kids) Kindle Edition

I‘m a grandma who really wanted to do art projects as a kid - but we were poor and times were so different back then. I managed to do better for my daughter, and now for my granddaughter and her friends who are here frequently, I‘m constantly looking for ideas. This book is a tremendous asset. Here‘s what I like about it:* provides pedagogical guidance* contains wonderfully imaginative projects* clearly lists all materials* spells out the process - with accommodations for different ages* pictures lovely kid-produced finished art* advocates use of many everyday materials/recycled materials, as well as purchased supplies* as an ebook, this displays wonderfully on my iPad in the Kindle app

This book was exactly what I was looking for. Perfect easy painting projects for my 3 and 5-year old. Easy multimedia ideas. Great supply and instruction lists. Each project has a "variations for next time" section with additional ideas. Very little (if any) work for the parent to prep ahead of time. Set up a station for yourself and do the project with your kids!

I cannot say enough praise of this book! It starts with supplies and how to set up an art space from only a small table to a whole room for art. She starts out with simple projects for the very beginner to maybe 5th grade level. Would be a great book for children with learning disorders or some kinds of limits to help them with eye hand coordination or other difficulties. any one with a desire could use this book to teach art principles to children.

Great book

We love and recommend this book. While we have other books that are simple short crafts, I love that this is PROCESS based and has everything from discussion topics to ideas to change the project for next time. We love how it encourages creativity at our house!

My kids and I love this book! We borrowed it from our library and could not renew it because of its popularity, so I purchased our own copy. I love the open-ended ideas in here. I find it is minimal set up. I spend a few minutes before my kids wake up from their naps getting things out so they have a project to do right away.

It was okay....if you know very little about art with children

Some very great ideas represented in a good quality book with many pictures. I've used it several times in an elementary after school art group. And it has helped guide me to some art supply purchases. I thought a few more projects and a little more variety would have made this a GREAT book.

El libro me gustó mucho, es inspirador y te da buenos tips para empezar tu salón de arte en casa, es ideal para peques que les gusta pintar y hacer manualidades

I am an art instructor for children as well as an artist, and I cannot recommend this book enough! It is perfect for anyone looking for open-ended art projects for children that are not just crafts. There is a great mix of projects for all ages. I taught two of the projects to a group of 10 kids aged 6-2 years old and they could all participate. Well worth the money spent!!

Dieses Buch wird sicher einige Vorlagen für die Arbeit mit Kindern bei mir geben. Besonders gelungen fand ich auch den Teil zur Präsentation der Werke. Alle Daumen nach oben!

This book is absolutely beautiful! And perfect if you're looking for ideas of where to start with art with toddlers/preschoolers. The photography is stunning, the ideas are simple and clearly laid out, and it's very easy to follow. I've bought a number of process art books, but this is by far the best. I love it! Will be using this for many years to come with my two boys (4 years and 2years), and will be sharing with our home educators group.

I read this book cover to cover and loved the values, activities and ideas that were shared. Highly recommend.
