This is a wonderful non-objective coloring book. The print of the lines is very clear and the intricate shapes to color are a nice size-- even for children. There are 30 sheets to color with a nice variety of simpler forms to much more detailed (and time-consuming) forms. For what you get, it's a good value for the money.
This coloring book is recommended if you like detailed artwork and can follow abstract patterns. You have to possess patience to do some of these. Lines are close together, and it requires some thought to work out your coloring scheme. Some of the designs are real "mind benders". Well worth the time for me, and I enjoy the challenge. Dover did a great job on this one.
It should say; 'Ages 6 to 110'. This book is really fun. But it takes planning and forethought to make a picture work right. One must remember that you are creating an illusion. That takes a bit of a different mind set. I learned early on to make two of three Xerox copies, because I could mess thing up very fast. As simple as it looks, this book is a fine brain exercise.
Fun for adults or kids.Not an overly difficult coloring book so it doesn't take forever to finish a design. But when you are done the optical illusions are very cool. It makes me a little dizzy to look at some of them. The pages are double sided so wax crayons, wax pastels or color pencils work better than markers. We like the wax pastels because the color is richer than crayons or pencils.A very relaxing way to pass the time. Can be done while watching TV, or if you want to escape for awhile into a world of illusions.
I love coloring with my elementary-aged boys, and these are fun for both my 5 and 9-year-olds. We chose they more simple designs for my younger son, and I teach him about making patterns. They are also great for improving fine motor control. We love sharing our finished designs and patterns with each other!
The designs are excellent, however....... I'm very disappointed to find that they are printed on both sides of each page. I prefer markers to crayons or pencils. Even the pastel markers show from the other side. Even colored pencils will have to be used with a very light hand.Since I bought four of design books printed on both sides of each page, I guess I'm going to have to either skip designs if I use markers, or get used to colored pencils.
Disappointing. Card stock is horrid and designs are on both sides of page which means you need to Xerox them to color because the markers bleed onto the design on the back of the page. Marginally interesting designs.
Got these for my adult daughter as a stress release. She loves it, said that it really does help to de-stress after work.
