Art lab for kids: 52 creative adventures in drawing, painting, printmaking, paper, and mixed media

---

The book begins with drawing, then moves through painting and printmaking, and then builds to paper collage and mixed media. Each lesson features and relates to the work and style of a contemporary artist and their unique style. The labs can be used as singular projects or to build up to a year of hands-on fine art experiences. Grouped by medium, the labs are set up loosely to build skills upon the previous ones; however, you can begin anywhere.

Have fun exploring:

drawing by creating a whimsical scene on a handmade crayon scratchboard.
painting by using watercolors and salt to create a textured landscape.
printmaking by using lemons, celery, mushrooms, and other produce to make colorful prints.
paper by creating an expressive self-portrait using pieces of colored tissue paper.
mixed media by making insects from patterned contact paper and watercolor pencils.

Color photos illustrate how different people using the same lesson will yield different results, exemplifying the way the lesson brings out each artist’s personal style. Art Lab for Kids is the perfect book for creative families, friends, and community groups and works as lesson plans for both experienced and new art teachers.
