First, since there is little information about this title on , I'll give some information.This book is actually three complete books in one: The Usborne Book of Art Ideas, The Usborne Book of Art Skills, and the Usborne Book of Art Projects.The front book cover says: "Over 400 inspiring ideas for things to do with paints, pastels, collage, crayons, inks, paper, pens, found objects, stitches, rubbings."The back cover says: "This inspiring book is packed full of creative ideas. It shows exciting ways of using different art materials. Simply follow the step-by-step instructions exactly or use the ideas to create pictures of your own."There are hundreds of art projects in here, using a wide variety of different media. I love that while many of the art projects are fairly specific, they are really jumping off points, ways of experimenting with the different media and ideas so you can move off with them in your own direction. I am a homeschooling mother of two elementary-aged children, and this book has been very inspiring to the three of us.
This is an excellent book. I first checked it out from the library & then HAD to buy my own copy. It has great techniques; many of which I've seen illustrated in adult painting/crafting books too. This book is leaps & bounds beyond most of the "same old, same old" kids art books out there.
This is a wonderful art projects book that is filled with easy to do creative activities - it's written in a non-patronizing way (you gotta love those Brits) - most of the materials needed are generally already in one's home and - the results are spectacular. My 10-year old grand-daughter was completely caught up and spent hours producing rather wonderful "masterpieces". I highly recommend to parents and grandparents.
THIS BOOK IS AMAZING! FULL OF GREAT ART IDEAS AND COMPLETE PROJECTS. VERY WELL ILLUSTRATED (ALL THE PAGES ARE IN FULL-COLOR) AND EASY TO READ. THE DIRECTIONS ARE CLEAR AND YOU CAN DESIGN YOUR OWN VERSION OF THE PROJECTS. MY DAUGHTER LOVES THIS BOOK AND I REALLY LOVE HER LITTLE "WOW!" FACE AFTER EACH PROJECT.
This book has a great variety of projects using many different techniques and media. Full color photographs and explanations for each project make them easy to duplicate. Also, there are many pictures of other projects done using similar techniques. As a homeschooling parent of elementary-age students, I found this book to be a great addition to our art curriculum. I can teach art concepts and then find projects from this book to reinforce those concepts. I highly recommend this book.
Wow! What a great book. I am THRILLED I got this book for my 4 and 5 year old. I order a ton of art supplies from discountschoolsupply dot com and now I have a structured and organized book of ideas! YAY! If you are on the fence, this is a beautiful book. Every page has gorgeous, colorful illustrations. The paper feels wonderful. Each project is laid out in a simple format and will make working with kids on these projects so pleasant. Usborne books are awesome - I am finding a solid product with every Usborne I buy. What a great brand!
This book has many fantastic art ideas to use with your own children or an art class. I teach an after-school art program with first graders and I found many activities useful, but some were too difficult for my age group. I would not recommend buying the 3 pack of Usborne Art Ideas books because most of the activities are repeated within the 3 books. I would recommend only buying the Complete Book of Art ideas. You will find enough activities in it.
Fantastic book. I have looked at tons of art project type books at the library and after finding this one I had to buy it. Great ideas, wonderful pictures, clear directions and all around a book worth having.I especially like the way they have made it a little smaller and put it together with a ring binder style so it is easy to keep open when working on a project. It would be especially useful for teachers looking for good projects with their class.
