Art, working with colours and media is an inherent magnet for kids of all ages, even adults. With all the distractions offered by electronic gadgets we may not realise that we may end up competing for time to socialise with family and friends. It's hard to ignore the positive side-effects that the internet and computers offer, such as accelerated learning, interactive media and a wealth of information at ones fingertips; but getting addicted to it to the extent we rather be at our computers instead of talking or enjoying actual interactions is definitely not healthy behaviour.
Making art together is one productive and fun way to entice children, even youth to get their hand dirty and enjoy making stuff. Parents can bond with children, teacher with students and friends can show off to each other.
The problem for us non-artist types are ideas on how to make art. Without some kind of a guide it can be a daunting task. But to go for art class just to learn fun art may be time consuming. Enter ART lab FOR KIDS.
This book teaches 50 different styles of doing art which gives plenty of choices as far as ideas with activities for children.
With techniques like scribble drawings, crayon scratchboard, drawing with an eraser, dream animals, reverse colour landscape painting, watercolour and plastic painting, finger painting on wood, string painting, polystyrene plate printing, paper masks, text as texture. You will be spoilt with creative choices.
With simple techniques, simple instructions, household materials and art supply list, this book is very handy for whipping up ideas that can get parents and children working together. Then after all that fun the memory can be scanned into a cloud and shared around in social media.
This 500 odd page book is simply presented in a manner that is inviting for anyone who just want to have fun with art to try their hand.
