ARTS / CRAFTS
CURRICULUM
Complete Programs
in the manual beforehand, as there will be some
art supply set-up and occasional additional
visuals or resources to gather in advance. A
substantial chunk of the manual that is common
to all 8 levels. This provides you additional
resources relevant to the program as a whole
including an overview, background information, art concepts introduced in the program, a
list of the artists studied, tips on visiting an art
museum, how to hold an art show, evaluation
guidelines, objectives for all levels, a master list
of materials, a glossary and a bibliography.
The lesson content and progression are wellrounded and seem well thought out. Lesson
progression was designed to first lay a foundation in the core art concepts and media, then
to provide more open-ended lessons that allow
students to use what they’ve learned to develop
their own style. Core art concepts (line, color,
shape, pattern, texture, space and composition)
are emphasized or reinforced in every lesson,
along with experience in using different media
and techniques. When you also consider the
tie-ins to children’s literature, cross-curricular
connections and art appreciation, it’s impressive
how everything has been carefully “packaged”
into very manageable lessons! The years of
classroom testing in developing the program
seem well-used as far as keeping “the best of
the best.” Each lesson stands on its own and
taken as a whole, is a refreshing mix that probably wouldn’t get old even if you repeated a
level’s lessons a second year. The lessons also
strike a great balance between being structured
and open-ended. For instance, the first lesson
in Level 1 explores lines. Students then create
a large caterpillar made up of round segments
and fill in those segments with all kinds of lines.
Although everyone is drawing a caterpillar, no
two will look alike!
One other appealing aspect of the program
is its flexibility in terms of use with students of
different ages. Although there are eight levels,
these are targeted to students in overlapping age
ranges. If you have multiple children similar
in age, you can pick a level that fits their age
range best and everyone can do art together.
In fact, because it was designed originally as
a classroom program, some lessons will work
better or will be more engaging as a family or
small group. Suggested ages are listed with
each level, and you can also visit the publisher’s
website at www.homeschoolart.com for a chart
which shows the progression much better.
Although art appreciation is tied into several
lessons per level, you can flesh out this component further with the addition of the optional
“Great Art Appreciation Program.” There are
three levels of this program, one designed for
Levels 1-3, one for Levels 4-5 and one for
Levels 6-8. Each program consists of a pack
of 8” x 10” art reproductions and loose-leaf
cardstock informational pages (designed to be
added to the Parent/Teacher manual). The first
several sheets outline objectives, provide background on the program, describe art criticism,
offer teaching suggestions and include LOTS
of general questions for discussing, analyzing,
interpreting and judging an artwork. The rest of
the packet provides background information on
each masterpiece and artist featured in the pack,
Atelier Homeschool Art (PK-12)
Looking back on my homeschooled years
while Rainbow was still a primarily family-run
endeavor, I am impressed and thankful that
Mom made an effort to include art as a constant
part of our curriculum. Not that it didn’t occasionally take a backseat some weeks (or months,
when we were traveling to conventions or
working on the catalog!) but she never left it off
the list as something we just “didn’t have time
for.” As an adult, I can see that the constant
exposure to the creative process and the ready
availability of art supplies influenced the way I
learn and work. When I was in biochemistry
and had to memorize all of the amino acids, I
didn’t think twice about sitting down and creating my own set of illustrated flashcards. In one
anatomy class we had to learn not only all of
the muscles, but also the origins and insertions
on the bones so I created my own color-coded
poster. So when I started examining the Atelier
(ah-teal’-yea’ – yes, I had no idea how to pronounce it either!) program, I could appreciate
the publisher’s commitment to teaching art and
their belief that a foundation in art enhances just
about every other area in life, from academic
performance to self-confidence. And because
they are so dedicated to art education, they
have designed this program to remove just about
every art instruction “roadblock” imaginable.
The first thing you’ll notice about Atelier is
that it is video-based, which is about the next
best thing to having an art teacher come into
your home! This sets Atelier apart from other
art programs which attempt to remedy the “I
can’t teach art” mindset by either being more
student-directed or providing video instruction
as an optional resource. Each level contains 18
lessons on three DVDs (Modules) and a Parent/
Teacher Manual in a binder. I appreciate the
completeness of the video lessons. Each one
begins with a look at the actual materials used
in the lesson, so you don’t have to guess at what
size paper to use, or how which colors of paint
you'll need. The art concepts and related project
are introduced by the art teacher, often followed
by a short “warm-up” which gives the student
some experience in using the chosen medium or
lets them focus on a simpler exercise before they
start their main project. The lesson’s art project is then introduced, discussed, and viewers
actually get to see it to completion between the
art teacher demonstrating parts of it, and then
seeing children in a classroom setting working
on the project. Each lesson features examples
of completed works from other students at that
age level, which is encouraging and inspiring
as far as making you want to pick up your own
paintbrush and get started right away!
While the DVDs do most of the actual teaching, the Parent/Teacher Manual arms the parent
with complementary instruction including lesson objectives, a list of materials, an outlined
procedure and assessment information. This
enables you to be the on-site supervisor and
facilitator, even if you can’t even draw a stick
figure. You will want to read through the lesson

as well as discussion questions and activities/
extension opportunities for each one.
Now that we’ve covered the basics of the
program, let’s talk materials. If you’re guessing
you’d have to amass a mountain of art supplies
each year to use the program, you’ll be pleasantly surprised that the core materials used in
all levels are pretty basic! In fact, there is ONE
art supply kit designed to be used with all levels
of the program. While this kit doesn’t include
everything needed at each level, it includes the
main art supplies that are used at all levels. You
will need to provide a few additional materials
and household items for some lessons, especially for Level 8 projects and extension activities.
The program's pacing is up to you. Ultimately,
the 18 lessons are designed for a year’s worth
of art. The Parent/Teacher Manual suggests
spending one hour per lesson at Levels 1-4, and
1¼ hours at Levels 5-8. While some lessons are
naturally divided into parts, other projects may
just take longer to complete, demanding more
lesson time. If you incorporate the art appreciation program, you may also end up spending
some days focusing more on art appreciation or
pursuing extension activities. All in all, you’re
looking at spending about one hour per week
on art, with some flexibility on how much you
cover at a time.
While there are a lot of potential roadblocks
for including art as a part of your curriculum, I
feel this program successfully eliminates quite
a few of them. Parents or co-op teachers don’t
need any art experience to use the program, the
lessons are effective but don’t require a huge
time commitment, you can use it with children
of multiple ages and you don’t need to acquire
a mountain of art supplies. The program is also
non-consumable, so you can reuse it again and
again. And to cap it all off, the lessons are
engaging, fun, and children will be exposed
to many different artists and techniques even
if you don’t pursue the art appreciation option.
You can easily use this program at home or in
a small co-op and I can almost guarantee that
students will enjoy the projects and be proud of
their work. Now I understand why we’ve had
customers ask us repeatedly for Atelier! – Jess

ARTISTIC PURSUITS (PK-12)
ARTistic Pursuits (3rd Ed.)
Once in a great while you will come across an
art program that is so easy-to-use, open-ended,
and brimming with all sorts of exciting possibilities that you just want to use it yourself. This
was certainly the case with ARTistic Pursuits
when I first reviewed it. The basic philosophy of
ARTistic Pursuits is to combine what it defines
as the four essential areas, or categories, of art
into a short, easily manageable and flexible
lesson. The first category is Elements of Art,
or “what art is made of” which include what
we would think of as the basics of the actual
drawing (line, shape, color, etc.). The next is
Composition, or “how art is arranged” (balance,
proportion, space), third is Media (variation),
and finally, History (becoming familiar with different artists, styles, and periods). This seems
like a lot to cover in one program, but ARTistic
Pursuits does it surprisingly well and very naturally. The early elementary (K-3) level covers
these same four areas in each lesson, but in a
less in-depth and more informal manner. The
whole series has been revised for 2013, and
each volume now features 36 lessons (previously 32). You'll notice a slight shift in grade
levels (books previously titled 4-6 are now 4-5
and 6th grade has been rolled into the Middle
School titles), and the publisher also expects to
add two books on sculpture by the end of this
year. All books are comb-bound to lay flat.
Upper elementary, middle school and high
school levels of ARTistic Pursuits are currently
divided into two books each. The first book
focuses on drawing including line, texture,
form, shape, value, etc., while the second book
focuses on color (tinting, shading, mixing, etc.).
As an example, let's look at the high school program. In the drawing portion of the program,
the book begins with a lesson on observation
and imagination, challenging art students to
“see creatively”. This starts them off on the right
foot for drawing scenes and objects which they
will be doing extensively. From there it moves
into line, texture, shape, form, value, and contrast, covering each of the basic “Elements of
Art.” The other half is devoted to the elements
of composition, including balance, rhythm,
depth, and proportion (learning much of this
in the context of the human face, figure, and
clothing). The materials needed for the drawing portion are relatively few; pencils, charcoal,
erasers, and drawing paper. Book 2 dips into
color, tinting, shading, complementing, and
mixing and also implements composition, in
the context of emphasizing size, value, color,
etc., and adds watercolors to the list of supplies.
The K-3 level is made up of three books,
1106
Art
which together provide students a chronological
overview of art history along with art lessons.
Book One teaches young students what artists
do, what they see, and how to interpret these
in light of ancient to medieval art, including
cave paintings, palaces, pyramids and cathedrals. Book Two guides young artists through
the Gothic, Renaissance and Romantic Periods.
Book Three continues the journey, covering
Impressionism and Modernism (both European
and American) through painting and sculpture.
As the following volumes are a continuation of
the first volume, I would recommend that users
begin with the first volume, particularly as it
explains a lot of basic art concepts that are not
revisited in much detail once you hit the appreciation lessons.
The lessons are structured similarly throughout the program, although progression through
concepts is slower and more bite-sized at lower
levels. The first portion introduces the concept,
gives a short discussion on its importance, and
offers an introductory activity for the student to
start thinking about it. The next section is based
on a reproduction of a masterpiece that demonstrates the concept being learned. This gives
students the chance to simultaneously learn the
concept and see how the great artists used the
same elements in their work. The other half of
the unit is where the “how-to” is brought in.
For example, in the high school unit on form,
the how-to part of the lesson concentrates on
using a light source to produce the desired effect
in a three-dimensional drawing, using a simple
snowman to illustrate the effects under various
light sources. The student is challenged to find
a simple object to study (and draw) under different lighting situations. Finally, we reach the
last part of the unit, culminating in a project.
Brief but clear instructions are given, along with
a list of needed materials, and a few hints; and
then you’re on your own. Pick up that pencil
and cut loose! This open-ended approach offers
nearly unlimited room for creativity on the part
of the student, as far as what to draw and how.
He or she is reminded not only to concentrate
on the concept learned, but also to continue to
use all the concepts previously learned (this is
exemplified by the many examples of student
work displayed in these lessons). Projects at
the lower levels are more likely to include
simpler activities like drawing a picture from a
photograph, and also use less complicated (and
messy, incidentally) supplies, such as watercolor pencils rather than the pan watercolors
used in the Senior High level.
From a teaching standpoint, the lessons are
very easy to use. You can read the lessons
together, or teach from the textual lesson given.
The discussion questions are all included in the
book, but you are by no means limited to those
if you both really get into an artwork or style.
Because the art reproductions are included
right in the books, you don't have to search the
library or internet for examples to use. The projects are well-thought out with a lot of potential
for creativity, and require mostly common arts
and crafts supplies. However, because the lessons in each book expose students to a variety
of different mediums, you will need to have a
variety of art materials on hand, and specifically
recommended ones are listed after each level.
While the format is similar throughout the
program, the emphasis on specific artists and
periods varies. In the high school level, the
emphasis is on European artists, including:
Da Vinci, Raphael, Toulouse-Latrec, Monet,
Renior, Picasso, Vermeer, Van Gogh, Cezanne,
and Constable. The middle school level focuses
on World Art, while the Grades 4-5 level examines American Art. Grades K-3 cover art history
from ancient to modern. I would suggest using
the levels in the titles below as a general guideline. Young students (upper elementary) who
are very artistic and already fairly skilled will
likely get more out of the middle school level
than the Grades 4-5 Level. Regardless of the
level you choose, you will want to start with
the first book to lay the foundation of art basics
before you jump into more advanced concepts.
All in all, this is a flexible, user-friendly program which seamlessly blends art history, art
technique and exposure to different media. At
the same time, it keeps the subject understandable for beginning artists and more experienced
ones alike. Though the format is fairly simple,
it will spark excitement and creativity through
each lesson, especially as the student progresses
and surprises even herself with her new skills.
I'm confident that any student interested in art
at all will enjoy the variety, the use of different
mediums, and the practical art appreciation,
and the open-ended projects.
The Way They See It is Artistic Pursuits for
3-5 year-olds (and their parents). It's formatted a bit differently from the rest of the series
in that it is written to the parent to help them
understand children’s artistic development, as
well as develop a child's creativity and fine
motor skills. The book is composed of two
main parts: “The Nature of Children’s Artistic
Development” and “First Skills.” Each lesson
contains a portion written for the parent followed by a project for the child. The parent's
portion will help them appreciate and foster the
child's creative process while offering practical advice for tackling the project. 36 projects
include finger-painting, looking at the colors of
the sky and coloring a picture of the sky with
crayons, rolling or pressing textured objects into
dough, drawing a picture from life, creating a
paper bag puppet, drawing a plant, drawing a
life-size outline of the child and coloring it in
and much more. Many projects also include
art reproductions and accompanying questions
about the art for discussion. The last section of
the book provides guidance for parents to teach
their children how to use art supplies properly,
such as scissors, pencils, crayons, markers,
glue, tape, brushes and paint. For each tool,
practical skill-building exercises are suggested.
If you want to provide gentle but purposeful art
instruction to your youngest students, this is an
excellent resource to guide you.
Materials used in each level are listed below
each title. With the arrival of the 3rd edition
books, we have tracked down all of the recommended art supplies and have made complete
packages for each book. Where specific brands
are recommended by the author, we have
included those exact items. In other cases, we
have tried to match the art supplies as closely as
possible to what Artistic Pursuits offers in their
own art supply kits. For more details on a supply item, see individual item descriptions in our
Art Supplies section. - Jess

The Lamb’s Book of Art (1-8)
The Lamb’s Book of Art is an excellent starting
point for any beginning artist. The lessons and
instructions are easy to follow and could be used
for self-study for an older child. A variety of
concepts are taught like drawing, color theory,
portraits, anatomy, nature studies, cartooning,
perspective, shading, lettering, and more. The
lessons are fun, and you won’t find yourself getting bored with monotonous activities. Plus, the
book comes from a Christian publisher and Bible
verses accompany most lessons. Art doesn’t
have to be hopeless! Lessons are reproducible
for in home use and there are plenty of blank
pages in the book to create art on.
This book was revised in 2006 and is higher
quality than the original. The basic lessons and
format are the same, but there are now 168
pages instead of 128, with easier to read text
and a fun set of five “marker cards” for additional assignments. Instead of the spiral binding
of the original book, this edition sports a perfect
binding. With this upgraded edition, they’ve
taken a good thing and made it even better.

God and the History of Art (3-AD)
An ambitious undertaking by Barry Stebbing of
How Great Thou Art that focuses on Christian
artists and the periods of art (Early Christian,
Byzantine, Romanesque, Gothic, and Early
Renaissance) that strived to glorify God. This
book incorporates art history and art instruction
into one 4-year curriculum. Art lessons teach
basic fundamentals in drawing, painting, and
color theory. With over 250 lessons and 450+
pages, a set of 36 master postcards, 25 “Paint
Cards”, 10 “Marker Cards”, and exams covering each period of art, this program sounds like
a great value.

God and the History of Art DVD Set (7-AD)
If you’re looking for a fairly conservative,
Christian overview of art history without additional art instruction, you’ll want to take a look at
this DVD set. In 12 lessons, author and Christian
artist Barry Stebbing examines art masterpieces
and great artists from a biblical perspective.
Lessons include: “What is Art?,” “The Second
Commandment,” “Early Christian Art,” “Godly
Periods of Art / Byzantine,” “Christian Artists,”
“The Dark Ages / Monasteries,” “The Gothic
Period,” “The Renaissance,” “The Reformation,”
“French Neo-Classical Art,” “American Artists,”
and “Other Artists and Styles.” Each lesson runs
approximately 15 minutes and is like sitting in
an informative art lecture, with lots of examples
of great masterpieces shown on-screen as they
are discussed. Mr. Stebbing raises excellent
questions and topics for the Christian and art
lover to consider, and does a really nice job
highlighting some Christian artists that you may
not stumble across in a secular art appreciation
book. If you are looking for additional activities
to supplement the video lessons, you can find
them online at the How Great Thou Art website,
and there is a reminder to this effect at the end
of each lesson. There are printable PDF files of
selected How Great Thou Art lessons that the
student can download and complete following
each video lesson. Although recommended for
ages 12 and up, (probably because the content
is not likely to spark a young child’s interest),
the artwork depicted tends to be biblical in content and shows little nudity. In an area like art
appreciation where many families feel like they
must tread very carefully, it’s refreshing to find
a resource that emphasizes the Christian aspects
of art. – Jess

The Book of Many Colors (7-AD)
Tired of black and white? Here is a course

a variety of creative media: colored pencils,
markers, pastels, watercolors, acrylics, and oils,
as well as different painting surfaces. The book
includes 30 “paint packs” - sturdy white posterboard sheets containing painting exercises. This
book starts out black and white, but it will soon

who have had an introductory drawing course and who

skills. The set contains six
lessons on 6 DVDs with a
total running time of 470

After reviewing the basics with Mr. Stebbing,
students will be drawing still life, animals,
portraits, anatomy, and nature studies, as well
as using perspective in their drawings. Like

and students can draw right along with Mr.

Beginning Painting DVD (7-AD)
This is an entire art course
in one set of DVDs! Barry
Stebbing has been an artist
and educator for a long time.
His style is relaxed, neat,
structured, yet open to the
happy accidents that often
occur in art. His voice is easy
to listen to and he narrates
as he is painting and demonstrating. I watched
the entire first oil painting lesson and feel I can
go get some canvas paper, paints, turpentine,
some brushes and start practicing the techniques
he demonstrated. Mr. Stebbing begins with the
basics and recommends that students be about
12 years old for oil painting. There are 2 DVDs
each on oils, acrylics and watercolors for almost
11.5 hours of instruction total. This would be
fun to use with multiple kids or even for parents
to do along with students. Materials needed are
basic, but should be of good quality for beginners to get the best results. Each video tells you
what you will need to practice the techniques
kids will learn. You can gather your own supplies based on Barry's reccomendations or purchase the boxed set which includes supplies and
the DVD set. In general, he suggests that you
practice with less costly materials to develop
your skills before beginning a real painting.
The whole approach is practical and homefriendly. Even if you are an artsy Mom or
co-op teacher, the techniques in his videos are
beyond what most of us artsy folks are familiar
with. Small kids will need close supervision, but
middle grades and up could probably do this
program pretty independently. This is a good
choice for a family looking for an elective and
not wanting to use a structured art curriculum.

VISUAL MANNA ART PROGRAMS (PK-12)
Preschool and Elementary Art Basics (PK-3)
Start the little ones on an incredible journey
in art education with art appreciation! Young
children can easily learn art concepts and
techniques by studying from great masters and
then applying them to fun, simply projects
of their own, helping reinforce what they’ve
learned about the master works of art. The
key here is keeping things simple and fun,
while also encouraging creativity. This art curriculum contains 10 art lessons for kids covering Center of Interest, Positive/Negative Space,
Lines, Expressions, Shapes, Six Colors of the
Color Wheel, Patterns, Eight Ways to Draw a
Bird, Nine Ways to show Scale, and Ten Ways
to Draw Structures. Each art lesson and project
includes simple art vocabulary that is set in bold
throughout the book. Most art supplies needed
for the art projects are simple, everyday staples
such as pencils, crayons, markers, scissors,
glue, scrap paper and fun sparkles or embellishments. Develop fine motor skills and learn
appreciation too! Offered in book form (72 pgs,
pb.) or in PDF format on CD-ROM.

Visual Manna’s Complete Art Curriculum
(1-12)
What if you had a good friend, who happened
to be a wonderful art teacher, come into your
home and help you teach art? That’s the flavor
of Visual Manna. It incorporates art concepts,
techniques, and appreciation all in one curriculum, uses a wide variety of media, and lets you
teach all your children at the same time. The
Jeffus’ obviously not only understand art and
how to teach it - they understand children as
well. There’s nothing dry or boring here. Even
when presenting new concepts or instruction,
the narration is captivating - filled with interesting tidbits drawn from science, history, or about
people or events. Throughout the lessons, it’s
as though the author is conversing informally
with you. There’s an awful lot of “good stuff”
packed into these 45 lessons - and so many
extra ideas that you can use this curriculum and
reuse it! Because of the breadth of concepts,
materials and types of art here, there isn’t a lot
of depth - rather, it’s more of a wonderful introduction to the many facets of art. Each of the 45
lessons begins with a materials list and a stated
objective. There is heavy emphasis on use of
recycled materials, and the authors devote a
full page in the beginning to ideas for obtaining
inexpensive or free supplies from local sources.
The lesson narrative explains the new concepts
being presented. Then, an art project is suggested for children in grades 1-6 and another
for older children, grades 7-12 (usually several
ideas for each range). These have the students
putting into immediate practice the concepts
they’ve just learned. (The lessons devoted to
drawing people and faces in proportion are
done particularly well, in a format for even
younger children to use.) After every 5 lessons
is a “test” to review what’s been covered in that
section. 31 different colored art prints of works
by major artists are also included, mounted on
pages with very short biographical sketches and
a discussion of the art style on the reverse side.
Most of these are correlated to topics in adjoining lessons. They are not part of the lessons,
but more like “asides” scattered throughout the
curriculum. A unit study is also included in
this curriculum. Finally, a list of 55 additional
ideas for art projects are included at the end. It
sure looks to me like the Jeffus’ could have written several volumes of curriculum with all this
material! This year, authors plan to include a
“complete art history time line” in this curriculum. In a nutshell, this curriculum is complete,
“user-friendly,” and has lots of variety. While
you can use it for all ages, the presentation is
decidedly geared toward the younger half of that
range, since it’s more of an introduction to art
concepts and formats. This curriculum comes
"no frills" - we suggest having a binder ready.

Art Teacher in a Package (PK-12)
If you like Visual Manna art courses, you
may want to check out this bundle package
which features four different Visual Manna
art programs on CD-ROM (PDF format). The
package includes: Visual Manna’s Complete
Art Curriculum, Art Basics for Children, Visual
Manna’s Master Drawing and Preschool and
Early Elementary Art Basics. For more detail
on each course see the descriptions in this section. The only one of those courses that we do
not offer separately at this time is Preschool and
Early Elementary Art. This course teaches young
artists the basic concepts of art in 10 lessons:
center of interest, positive vs. negative space,
lines, expressions, shapes, the color wheel, patterns, drawing birds, showing scale and drawing
structures. In each lesson, children learn the
main ideas by looking at great art masterpieces,
then completing art activities, based on the
piece and concept studied. Please note that for

Art Basics for Children (1-12)
Rich and Sharon Jeffus are like the “Backyard
Scientist(s)” of art! Their books remind me so
much of Jane Hoffman - it’s like they can’t wait
to share everything with you about art! It’s
delightful to peruse a book in which the authors’
enthusiasm is so obvious! Before the actual
lessons in this book, you get a wonderful section on using art supplies (finally, someone has
taken the time to explain those pencil grades!).
Here are lots of “how to’s” and incredible tips
for drawing with pencil and charcoal, using
oil pastels, tempera paints, water colors, and
chalk pastels. Following is a page of “recipes”
for different modeling compounds, including
an edible clay! Before encountering the “real”
lessons are 7 full pages of exercises in drawing
from basic shapes. This is similar to the technique endorsed by Mona Brooks in Drawing
with Children. The heart of the drawing book
is the 26 lessons, corresponding to the 26 letters of the alphabet, entitled, The ABC’s of Art.
Here, in their typical breezy, chatty style the
authors have given us much to consider and
do on every page. Each lesson contains one or
more art principles or definitions, one or more
art activities, and information or practice on
color and techniques. Plan on spending more
than one art period for some of the lessons. As
usual, sample artwork and illustrations provide
excellent models. It is difficult to decide an
“appropriate” age level for this course. While
it looks as though Mark, at 7 would be able to
do and enjoy the exercises, an adult would be
equally instructed! This is an art course you
can definitely use with all of your children at
once! We only wish it didn’t have to end at “Z”
(actually, it doesn’t really end at “Z”, because
they’ve packed an additional goody at the end
- a brief overview of the major art styles, along
with illustrative examples). We hope Visual
Manna will produce additional “beginner-type”
books in the future!

Visual Manna’s Master Drawing (6-AD)
If you liked the original Visual Manna Drawing
Book, you’ll love the new, improved, and
larger version they’ve just released. Like the
previous edition, the only tools you need are a
drawing pencil (they recommend a 5H or 6H
to start off with) and paper. Like the previous
book, this one covers all the bases of a serious
drawing program including shading, texture,
proportion, perspective, drawing people, buildings and more. But that’s as far as the similarity
runs. Visual Manna’s Master Drawing covers
each of these drawing topics in more detail
than the Visual Manna Drawing Book, and also
includes lessons on using grids, rhythm and
value, drawing motion, and also gets into more
specifics such as still life, animals, landscapes,
cartoons and caricature. As a special treat, a
section which features many field sketches of
birds by renowned bird artist David Plank are
also included in the animals section. Other
very helpful lessons include using creativity
and how to concentrate on what you are seeing as you draw - both important for the serious
sketcher. Lessons are open-ended, and easy to
understand, while covering all the basics such
as the face being five eyes wide, and finding a
vanishing point to draw accurate perspective
drawings. This could be implemented with a
group of budding artists, or for the older or more
driven art student. All the way through, students are reminded to practice, practice, practice... or, should I say, sketch, sketch sketch
to improve their mastery of the skills taught.
Characteristically Visual Manna, this is a good,
solid, Christian-based drawing program that will
give aspiring artists a solid start to becoming the
next Rembrandt.

Art Adventures in Narnia (2-9)
C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia books are so
rich in visual imagery and fascinating characters, it seems completely natural to incorporate
art and crafts to bring the subjects to life. Thanks
to Sharon Jeffus, you can easily do this, whether
you’re studying the books in school or just reading them for pleasure. In Book 1, Sharon offers
a variety of ways students can apply their own
creativity to the subjects of Narnia, whether it
be through pencil and paper, paint, clay, cardboard, or a craft project. Subjects examined
are lions, heraldry, knights, armor, weapons,
crowns, thrones, portraits, printing, rabbits,
beavers, gargoyles, fauns, stags, trees, castles,
birds, ancient writing, dragons, unicorns, and
maps. Along the way, Sharon mixes in art
concepts, including perspective, shading, using
a grid, scale, and positive and negative space.
Because the topics are chosen from the Narnia
books, this is not a cohesive art program; rather,
it’s set up as a book you can wander through as
you read through the Narnia books, choosing
topics that suit your fancy. Topical lessons vary
quite a bit in content, and may include a craft
project, a drawing challenge, thought-provoking
questions, creative challenges, a website to look
up works of art, examining a given picture,
learning an art principle, etc. The suggested
activities are very open-ended, and would
be easy to tailor to children of different ages.
Occasionally, several different activity options
are offered for a topic; some will appeal more to
older children, and some to younger children.
The instructions for an activity are very simple
and freeform (more like suggestions), allowing
as much adaptation as you want. As with their
other very practical art books, you won’t need
any special art equipment for the lessons, just
pencils, drawing paper, construction paper,
glue, yarn, markers, crayons, and anything else
you’d like to use. Book 1 is also available in
CD-Format (PDF Files)
Book 2 introduces some new topics like sea
themes (ships and sea monsters), night scenes,
and royal accessories (clothing and furniture),
but also expands on some favorites from the first
lesson such as armor and animals.
The “Art Adventures in Narnia CD” includes
the entire text of Books 1 and 2 in electronic
form. If you’re anxious to explore Narnia with
all of your senses and sharpen your artistic skills
at the same time, you’ll enjoy using this book as
an art companion.

Meet the Masters Art Program - Homeschool
Edition (K-AD)
If you can squeeze in one afternoon a month
for art, you can successfully use this program.
No art background (or talent!) is necessary.
What's more, little preparation time is required,
other than to gather the art supplies needed.
If you purchase the pre-assembled Art Supply
Bundles, even that dwindles to almost nothing.
So - not having time or talent is no longer an
excuse for not incorporating art into your curriculum! And this one is very simple to use well-organized, well-formatted, and well-done!
It approaches art as a three-step process: first.
students learn about the masters (art appreciation), then they become acquainted with their
techniques (art technique) and finally, they
apply the techniques they have learned to an
art project reminiscent of the featured master's
work (art application). The three steps are found
in three lesson segments: a slideshow presentation that introduces the artists (narrated by you
with the help of the printable PDF lesson), student packets to help students understand techniques used by the masters (also printable PDFs
to download) and art activities (projects based
on those techniques)
There are six tracks to the program, each of
which contains 6 units. Each unit focuses on
one artist (with the exception of Track A which
has 1 preview lesson and 5 artist lessons).
Tracks are available at three different age levels.
Multi-track or age bundles of 3 tracks are also
available, at a discount. These offer the best
deal if you like the program and are wanting to
use it with all of your children, or to study all
featured artists at one age level. The program
is entirely online and is accessed through the
publisher's website, www.meetthemasters.com.
Upon purchase from us you will receive a
packet of information that includes program and
log-in information. Single tracks have a 3-year
expiration date from the time of purchase and
bundles have a 4-year expiration. You can go
back and revisit the artists several years in a row
if you wish. The only other equipment you'll
need for the program are the art supplies and a
computer with internet access.
Artists studied by track are:
A: Van Gogh, Cassatt, Mondrian, Picasso, Monet.
B: Homer, Remington, O'Keeffe, Hokusai, Matisse.
C: Degas, Kahlo, Miro, Rembrandt,
Bonheur.
D: Lawrence, Calder, Gauguin, Lautrec,
Escher.
E: Wood, Chagall, Klee, Seurat, Ringgold.
F: Cezanne, Da Vinci, Renoir, Rockwell,
Warhol.
G: Rousseau, Hopper, Martinez, Klimt,
Michelangelo.
Each lesson begins with an introduction to the
master being studied. This is essentially a slide
show (under your control), but does contain
several audio clips and even some audio/visual
presentations. You are the narrator through
much of this, and a script is provided for you
along with very clear instructions about what
and when to click. This presentation will take
from 20-40 minutes, depending on age level.
The next step is "Learning From" which concontinued...
Art
1111
sists of several worksheets on which the student becomes acquainted with and practices a
technique or characteristic of the artist's work.
This takes about 20 minutes and is kind of a
warm-up for the longer art project to follow.
Plan on spending at least 1-2 hours on the art
project itself. In this last portion of the lesson,
your student will actually create a work of art
similar to all or part of the master's, using the
techniques he's practiced. Your participation
is essential as you will be demonstrating some
of this. Fortunately, step-by-step instructions
take you by the hand here, along with helpful
illustrations - making your job all very clear and
easy to follow. Art exercises and projects for
each unit vary by grade level both by concept
and level of ability required.
To give you a better idea of the types of activities included, I'll refer to a sample of Track A,
age 8-9 curriculum. The preview unit uses the
online presentation to introduce and overview
the artists and their works to be studied in the
unit - with some brief information about each.
The Learning Activity is on optical illusions
(learning to look carefully) and the art project
is creating a portfolio to keep the rest of the
course's artwork in. Unit 2 focuses on Van
Gogh. The presentation incudes biographical
information, specific artworks, actual audio
presentations quoting from some of his correspondence, and good accompanying analysis in
the narrative portion. A very nice audio/visual
presentation showing selected Van Gogh pieces
set to Don McLean's "Vincent" is played at the
end of the session. The learning exercises are
about texture and have the student practice
showing textures via drawing, drawing concentric broken-line circles, building texture around
shapes, and creating a drawn textural composition. This is all done on PDF worksheets. The
art activity focuses on "The Starry Night" which
your student will try to recreate using black construction paper and oil pastels. A print of that
work is included for inspiration (and reference).
Other units are similarly constructed. The same
presentation is used regardless of age level. You
can print as many exercise worksheets as you
need, making the curriculum non-consumable.
Art supply bundles are sold separately and
include most of the art supplies you will need
for the projects (you will still need to gather
some household items, like cotton swabs or a
permanent marker). We carry many of these
items individually also; check our "art supplies"
category if you just need a few items.
Tracks and bundles are for single family homeschool use. Public, private, charter schools and
groups should contact: support@meetthemasters.com for pricing and licensing information.

☼Home Art Studio DVDs (K-5)
Are you struggling with adding art into your homeschool
when you are busy with math
and reading? What if an art
teacher came into your home
and taught lessons to your
children, with really cool projects that required minimal art
supplies and didn’t take all
day to complete? Art teacher Lindsey Volin has
put together a set of instructional art videos that
do all of this! In her program for kinders to 5th
graders, she brings you lessons that build your
children’s art repertoire. They will learn about
various art materials, techniques and processes.
As the parent/teacher, your job is to look over
the lesson plan before you watch the videos
together and have all of the materials laid out for
the day. You will want to cover your work table
with newspaper or a drop cloth.
She recommends starting with one project per
week. Grades K-2 each have 18 lessons; grade
3 has 16 lessons; grade 4 has 14; and grade 5
has 15: all on 1 or 2 discs. When it’s time for
a lesson, watch it all the way through the first
time. Then as you work, you can play and pause
the video as needed. Each lesson plan includes
national art standards for content and achievement, a project materials list, tips for parents
(like how to integrate a little science or some
additional skill practice suggestions), vocabulary
words, and step-by-step instruction. As students
get older, the projects get more detailed, but
still apply principles learned from the beginning
about color, shading, and perspective. Get a
gallery wall ready because you will be making
some masterpieces!
We have assembled art supply packages by
grade level for your convenience, based on the
materials lists provided in the lesson PDFs. As
specific brands are not typically listed, we’ve
included some of our favorite paint and art supply brands, and good quality paper (Strathmore
and Canson). The art and craft supplies are all
included in the packages, but you will need to
supply some household basics like a ruler, scissors, aluminum foil, salt and some special items
like fake flowers, found objects, and dental
floss. Get creative and have fun! You may have
a little Picasso on your hands who needs some
guidance. Being a creative parent or teacher
yourself is not a requirement of this program.
Lindsey Volin is doing that part for you. Don’t
stress about art; enjoy it! ~ Sara

See the Light Art Class DVDs (1-8)
Joining the ranks of DVD or online-based art
programs is See The Light, which will appeal
especially to Christian families looking for a
“pop-in-and-go,” easy-to-use art program. The
emphasis is on building art skills, particularly
drawing skills, and the video lessons are presented in bite-size chunks – most are under 20
minutes. The instruction is all on video, presented by Master Artist Pat Knepley, an enthusiastic and energetic personality who seems quite
natural in front of the camera.
Each DVD holds four related lessons focusing
on one broad element of art. In each video,
Pat speaks straight to the viewer, as if the
children were gathered around right in front
of her, and works primarily from a large easel
in front of a black background. Pat introduces
each concept by discussing it and drawing
examples, often finishing with a project that
students will be completing on their own. She
ties scripture and Bible stories into each lesson,
often opening her Bible to share an applicable
verse. While some older students may find this
distracting, or even maybe a bit predictable, I
think younger children or those looking for a
strongly Christian art program will appreciate
this aspect. Some examples of art masterpieces
are included, but overall, there is limited art
appreciation (however, the “sister” series, Art
Projects, does incorporate this). The emphasis
is primarily on drawing, although several different mediums are explored, including colored
pencils and chalk pastels. The first DVD starts
off simply, looking at basic drawing supplies,
types of lines, composing a picture, and doing
a contour drawing of a shoe. The lessons are
clear and well-presented, and the video production is professional. I think that parents will
also appreciate that supplies are minimal and
student-quality. In the first lesson, Pat begins
by using a standard #2 pencil and has Crayola
colored pencils and crayons lying nearby. There
isn’t a master supply list provided, so you would
need to peek ahead at the next few lessons to
make sure that you had everything. However,
if you have drawing paper (9” x 12” and 12” x
18), regular or drawing pencils (HB or similar),
a set of colored pencils, a set of crayons (16 or
more), a white eraser, a kneaded eraser, a black
permanent marker or felt-tip pen, and a set of
chalk pastels available, you should be set to
tackle most of the lessons. The first three DVDs
also feature a bonus lesson featuring a different
artist and medium and a specific project to be
completed.
If your children are interested in learning to
draw and you want them to have some exposure
to the basic elements of art but aren’t looking for
a major investment, an art appreciation course
or exposure to a variety of art forms and mediums, I think you’ll be happy with See The Light.
You can easily use it with children of different
ages and abilities, and students will benefit from
repeating the lessons in subsequent years. You
could also easily tweak the suggested projects
to feature different subject matter just to switch
things up. You won’t need to make much of
an investment in art supplies, and you can
definitely get by with inexpensive or beginner
brands. Because the content isn’t deep, if you
have students that have a real talent or interest
in art, you may want to continue with a meatier
program, or one with more breadth like Artistic
Pursuits, Atelier, Feed My Sheep or Book of
Many Colors (HGTA). An additional option is
adding one or more of Pat’s Art Projects DVDs.
Each of these focuses on one project based on
the work of a famous master. This would add a
dash of art appreciation as well as exposure to
other mediums. – Jess

have used several levels in
our school and they do an
excellent job teaching coloring, shading techniques,
elementary drawing, painting
(mixing and technique, basic
composition principles, and
lettering (calligraphy). Using common supplies
like crayons, glue, paints, and scissors and with
detailed and clear directions, preparation time
is about nil. Our children have really enjoyed
these projects. In their new format, teacher
instructions are included right in each pac. You

Exploring Art Media (9-12)
If you haven't done much art instruction in the
early years, it's not too late for your highschoolers to become familiar with a wide variety of art
media and skills. This book offers high school
students a complete one-year art course. It was
written directly for students, so teacher involvement is generally nonexistent or limited - your
students should be able to pick this one up and
go. Nevertheless, the lessons are extremely
well done, appropriate for students with little
or much art experience who are self-motivated
to explore different media. The lessons are
grouped into chapters, each focusing on a different medium. These chapters cover color and
design, drawing, commercial art, cartooning,
painting, and three dimensional arts and crafts.
Each chapter includes close to or over twenty
lessons. The first five or six lessons in each
chapter are essential, and the students should
complete these before moving on. Then the student can choose the number and order of other
lessons in the chapter they want to complete.
Besides representing a wide range of media,
the lessons also offer a nice variety of projects,
concepts, and difficulty. For an example of the
scope of each chapter, here is an outline of the
drawing unit. The essential lessons cover value,
basic shapes, texture, still life drawing, perspective drawing, and cylinders - perspective and
foreshortening. After completing these, the student may choose to complete any number of the
following lessons: one point perspective, toned
paper drawing, two + point perspective, fill in
drawing, combination photo and drawing, pen
and ink, scratchboard, contour line drawing,
figure drawing, portraiture, and more. Each lesson introduces the student to the concepts and
skills being taught and then outlines a simple,
attractive project for them to complete. Many
of the lessons can last as long as students want
them to - just enough time to complete, or several hours to perfect. I predict this course will
be enjoyed by most students, and devoured by
students who have any interest in art, as the lessons can be repeated and varied to help sharpen
students' skills. If you have multiple high school
students, it would further enrich the course if
they used it together (constructively) to compare
and critique each other's work. The pages are
glossy and in full color, with plenty of helpful
pictures. Spiral hc, 373 pgs. - Melissa

Starline Art Set (9-12)
A one semester art course that can be done
independently by students will please many
parents, especially if they are not too artsy themselves. Five units in five books cover the basic
elements of art and some art history. Students
will prepare a portfolio of both two and three
dimensional work. Parents grade the work using
rubrics provided and students will also do selfevaluations.
Students need a computer and internet access,
as well as traditional art supplies. Here is a
materials list: 2 graphite pencils, 2 charcoal
pencils, 1 gum eraser, 1 pack plain printer
paper, several sheets of photographic printer
paper (optional) several manila folders, glue or
tape, poster boards, 1 sketch pad 11” x 14” or
larger, set of 6 tube watercolors, set of 6 acrylic
tube paints (no oil paints), box of 8 pastels, 3
sheets of 11” x 14” watercolor paper, 2 canvas
boards or stretched canvas 11” x 14” or larger,
a palette, and a variety of brushes.
Subjects and projects include: design principles, choice of artist to research, material and media, graphic art design, origami,
paper stained glass, illustrate a children’s book,

☼Big Book of Art: Draw! Paint! Create! (K-2)
Emily, from our marketing department, recently recommended in a Q and A about art and
young children that it was helpful to allow
children to experience a variety of artistic mediums. This book definitely fits the bill! Learn to
make awesome art using all kinds of fun tools
like crayons, colored pencils, markers, chalk,
watercolors and acrylic paint. Some projects
even combine these for a mixed-media creation! Introduce kids to the color wheel, mixing
colors, making patterns to fill in space, making
a rubbing, printing, followed by lots of watercolor techniques - and then you get to play with
acrylics! Four perforated pages in the back are
used for coloring practice & for a couple of the
activities. Your child can practice many of their
skills right in the book! There are several common arts & crafts supplies needed, including a
palette, watercolor paper, a variety of brushes,
scissors, glue, a stamp pad, construction paper,
& found objects. The book is full of color photos
walking you through the steps of each project.

The Most Complete Beginner’s Art Book (K-5)
While the title is pretty ambitious, you’ll probably agree that it’s one of the largest art-kits-ina-book that you’ve seen! This 11” x 14” “book”
is actually a package of art supplies inside one
cover, with a large, spiral-bound book of art
projects and paper attached to the inside of the
opposite cover. A nice variety of art supplies is
included, such as markers (set of 10), watercolor
paint cakes (10), oil pastels, 6 colors of modeling clay, a paintbrush, glue, a 6” ruler, and a
pair of tiny scissors (cute, but they might not
be able to compete with your child’s regular
pair of scissors). The book features 42 pages of
projects divided by type of art supply used. The
introduction gives children a list of other basic
items to have on hand and acquaints them with
the color wheel. The bulk of the book offers
young artists a wealth of ideas and techniques
to use with the art supplies provided to make
their own art. For instance, in the clay section,
children are shown how to create basic clay
shapes (squares, ropes, balls, and flat shapes),
how to mix colors to get different tints, how
to make effects like stripes and swirls, how to
create some objects from simple shapes, how
to make expressive clay characters, and how
to create clay vehicles. From the selection of
art supplies included to the variety of ideas and
techniques featured, this is a nice introduction
to art for young people. ~ Jess

☼ARTIntegration (K-8)
If you follow a unit study approach, or simply
don’t have time to incorporate a stand-alone art
program in your curriculum, this is an incredible resource to “plug in” art to your current
curriculum. Subtitled “Multidisciplinary Lessons
That Teach Across the Curriculum Through
Art,” this full-color resource holds 30 art lessons
that tie in with math, science, language arts or
history topics and include a variety of instructional material for the teacher. Written by a
classroom teacher for classroom teachers, each
lesson includes a list of the featured elements
of art, materials used, suggested art works for
reference, art vocabulary, discussion questions,
national standards, learning objectives, background information, instructional steps for the
project, alternate projects (for some lessons),
and grading criteria; but this is all presented
in brief, almost bullet-point format making it
easy to read, peruse, and pick-and-choose what
you want to use. Lessons include designing
Gothic-style stained glass window with scratch
art paper, drawing overlapping shapes using
compass and protractors then coloring in with
watercolor pencils, creating a cave-like painting of animals using sticks and neutral paints,
color mixing by spraying simple marker designs
with water, making a multi-media collage out
of black paper, pastels, candy and candy wrappers to illustrate the poem, “The Sugar-Plum
Tree” by Eugene Field, illustrating the human
anatomy with major organs and more. The art
materials used range by lesson, and there are at
least a handful that use scratch art paper. You
will probably need to purchase some materials
unless you have a well-stocked art area. In other
cases, specific materials are suggested, such as
Lick-A-Stick shapes, but you could cut shapes
from construction paper and adhere with a glue
stick instead. The projects are well-thought out
and complement studies of other cultures, time
periods, science topics and other academic subjects, but there is room to tweak and modify as
desired based on the supplies and tools you have
available, to modify for students of different ages
or skill levels, or to adapt more specifically to a
lesson. This would also be a great resource for
an art co-op. 72 pages, spiral-bound.

Art Lab for Kids (K-8)
Author Susan Schwake has laid out 52 art lessons for parents and teachers to use with one
or more students. Photos make her directions
easy to follow and she uses materials that are
readily available, like white glue, road maps,
plastic wrap and foam trays. With each project,
a contemporary artist is profiled as inspiration.
The projects are quite original and go beyond
arts and crafts to teach kids some real art skills,
like drawing negative space and creating a
torn paper landscape. There is a master list of
materials which includes newspapers, plastic
containers, waxed paper, watercolors, charcoal
pencils and aluminum foil. Kids of various ages
could easily do these projects together at their
own ability levels and have a good time! 144

Busy Teacher’s Guide: Art Lessons (1-5)
That describes all of us - busy teachers. These
lessons try to give you a helping hand, combining art appreciation, instruction in basic elements of art, easy-to-follow directions for art
projects, several assignment alternatives and
patterns for or illustrations of finished projects.
Two books cover primary and intermediate
level. Each book contains 36 lessons. If you
have art twice a week it would be ideal. One
day, do the main art project together. The
other, let your child(ren) select from the assignment choices to do a variation on the method
or theme which they should be able to complete
(mostly) on their own. Each lesson begins with
a statement of purpose so you can see what
concept is highlighted. The Art History section
discusses a famous artist and his or her artwork.
It would be good to locate reproductions of this
art for a more complete, visual appreciation
of the work. Materials lists are included both
for the main project and variations. The main
lesson procedure is very clearly written. These
are simple projects which explore the elements
of art using basic art materials but a variety
of media (paint, chalk, crayon, marker, clay,
fabric, collage materials, etc.). Assignment
choices (for additional, related art projects) are
listed next, again with clear and simple instructions. At least two (and usually more) choices
are given, so you can extend the usefulness of
this book farther if you want to spend more
time on each concept. A final “Connection”
paragraph ties the art project and highlighted
art work together. The facing page for each
lesson contains either patterns to be used for
the art project, or it shows a picture of what the
finished project(s) should look like.

How to Teach Art to Children (1-6)
So, you feel you should provide some basic
instruction on the elements of art, but what
are they? Four basic elements (color, pattern/
design, line/shape, and texture) are included in
this volume with lessons highlighting specific
concepts within each area. The color section,
for example, contains multiple lessons for each
of the following concepts: primary colors, secondary colors, color values, black and white,
contrast, warm vs. cool colors, complementary
colors, tertiary colors, and the color spectrum.
A variety of activities is provided for each. As
children explore the concept of secondary colors, they complete a color wheel, play a color
memory game, experiment with mixing colored
water and mix graduations of color using tempera paints. When they explore repetition in
texture, they use repeated line and shape to
create texture, make crayon rubbings, create a
textured abstract still life with colored pencils,
and construct a textured landscape mural with
crayons and textured surfaces. Each section
also references selected children’s literature
and fine art examples that you can use to illustrate the concept. No exotic art supplies are
required; as most of the art projects are done
on or with paper using paints, crayons, colored
pencils and various around-the-house collagetype materials.

How to Use Child-Sized Masterpieces (PK-8)
A wonderful, early introduction to art appreciation and artist recognition from Renaissance to
modern art. (This 2nd edition updates the cover
only.) Based on Montessori principles, even the
smallest child can perform the simplest activity:
matching paintings. As they become more familiar with each artist’s style, they learn to classify
several different paintings by artist. Later, students learn to classify artists’ works according to
the various “schools” of art. Manual describes
eight progressively more difficult steps or levels
of activities as follows:
Step 1 - Matching identical paintings
Step 2 - Pairing two similar paintings by the
same artist
Step 3 - Grouping four paintings by each of
three artists
Step 4 - Learning the names of famous
artists
Step 5 - Learning the names of famous
paintings
Step 6 - Learning about the schools of art
Step 7 - Sorting schools of art
Step 8 - Placing paintings on a time line

☼Veritas Press History of Art (2-7)
Why study art, or art history, for that matter?
Well, as Michelangelo said, “Every good painting
is noble and devotional in itself and therefore is
able to honor God, whether or not the artist is
a believer.” This art history curriculum utilizes
that concept through studies of great works of art
from Creation to Contemporary (as the subtitle
indicates) from a decidedly Christian perspective. While significant works of western art are
included, the course also highlights distinctively
Christian art. Within these constraints, folk art,
Eastern art, etc., are, therefore, not included.
First off, this is perhaps the most luxurious
“workbook” I’ve ever seen. The illustrations are
absolutely outstanding! I felt as though I was
reading an actual art history text. Most of the
images included are full-color representations of
originals. I can see children pouring over these
pages again and again (I did!). The text gives a
sound overview: you’ll learn major art movement terms, vocabulary, art in chronological
sequence, recognition of art and also art movements (art periods), key historical events during
that art movement, and more. The main goals
are to learn these key movements of Western
art history, viewing them through the lens of
Christianity, while connecting them chronologically in history.
The course is designed to cover 32 art movements (one per week, 5 days per week) if using
the one-year plan. After introducing the art
movement with the workbook’s reading material
and that week’s flashcard, students repeat and
review this material in different ways throughout
the week (discussion, drill, playing included
games, vocabulary review, etc.). Then, one day
is designed for an art-related project or activity
and the final day culminates in a quiz (provided).
A hefty volume, the Workbook serves simultaneously as the text and as a consumable
workbook: each student will complete readings
and comprehension questions right in the book.
Younger children could work orally alongside older students. The workbook components
include an introduction, a student worksheet
in which questions progress in difficulty, an art
study, vocabulary review, quizzes and periodic
cumulative reviews. In the back you’ll find a
full-color timeline and an art memory game,
as well as the written music and lyrics for The
Great Art History Song (set to the tune of Jesu,
Joy of Man’s Desiring). Activities are varied to
encompass a wide age range: those for younger
ages are more hands-on and those for older ages
are more text-based. Supplies needed are listed
with the activities and are easily obtainable.
One unique, inspiring feature is periodic “interviews” of historical and modern-day professional artists who are Christians. I also appreciated
the discussions regarding some of those controversial art topics such as nudity. For example, a
reading assignment for older students is entitled,
Naked vs Nudity and hints at a distinction the
author makes. However, pictured images are
appropriate for all ages.
The 32 Flashcards contain a full-color example
of each period’s art on one side and an in-depth
discussion (and sometimes an additional example) on the other. Answers to all worksheets
will be found on the flashcards. Therefore, if
you are using the workbook, you must have the
flashcards. However, as a supplement to your
1116
Art
art curriculum, you could use the flashcards
without the workbook. Flashcards are 5” x 8”,
laminated, with rounded edges.
This course can be fully integrated with the
Veritas History program, utilizing it periodically
from second through sixth grade. To correctly
sequence the art curriculum, each of the Art
Flashcards contains a colored bar across the
top that matches Veritas’ history cards and the
timelines on the Art workbook overview pages
use the history card number system. I can see
this course also dovetailing with other historyfocused curriculum, though not quite as seamlessly. However, this course can also be used in
one year as an Art History course on its own. In
this case, the publisher recommends using it in
the middle school years. Whether you follow a
history-focused curriculum or not, History of Art
is a solid addition to your curriculum. This will
very well be a student book you’ll keep around
as a reference. Highly recommend! Workbook

☼Child’s History of Art (4-8)
I have to start by saying that I actually read
all three of these texts! Now, I really like all of
the topics, and they are written to about a 5th
grader or so, and they are really good! Each
Calvert School course has three components:
a textbook, a spiral-bound lesson manual and
a spiral-bound art card portfolio. These are all
small-format books, about 5.5 x 8.” Textbooks
are divided into chapters that are engaging and
interesting to read. You can read these aloud
with a group or one-on-one. I think an older
student could easily do this program independently. Black & white pictures and illustrations
are scattered throughout, with color photos
found in the art card portfolio. Authors Hillyer
and Huey start out the chapters with a cute
anecdote from their childhood regarding art. I
quite enjoyed the tone that these set. It is not
like reading a children’s storybook, but the
language is not intimidating either. This helps
a student who may not be keen on learning
art history! The lesson manual corresponds to
the textbook and includes an art activity using
common household materials and basic art/craft
supplies. Some lessons will only have an activity, but some have comprehension questions as
well. These could provide an opportunity for
group discussion or for an independent student
to answer in writing as an assessment of their
learning. Lessons also include a link for further
exploration online. An answer key in the back
has answers to the comprehension questions
and notes on what to prep for the next lesson
(like collecting 3 cardboard paper rolls). The
art card portfolio includes color post cards
of paintings, photos, sketches, illustrations, &
maps. They are all identified clearly with notes
on where they can be found now.
Architecture: Text has 274pp and 29 chapters. Topics include: pyramids, temples, ancient
cultures, arches, columns, domes, decoration,
cathedrals, mosques, homes, chateaus, tombs,
symmetry, eras, bridges, & skyscrapers. The
lesson manual has 54 projects such as creating
a trilithon (a la Stonehenge) or designing a rose
window (a la Notre Dame in Paris.) Art card
folio has 44 images including a mud hut in
Kenya, St. Basil’s in Moscow, Reims cathedral
in France and the U.S. Capitol.
Painting: Text has 242pp & 33 chapters. Topics
include: caves, Egypt, palaces, vessels, Christian
art, Renaissance, Rome, Flemish artists, portraits,
the poor, impressionists, post-impressionism,
Early Americans, & modern painters. There is
some nudity, but the images seem to be intentionally blurred. Lesson manual has 60 lessons
including projects such as drawing people in
profile as seen in Egyptian painting and on Greek
vases, or practice drawing people in motion
using tornado-like strokes. Art card folio has 40
images including an Assyrian tile, the Birth of
Venus (blurred for modesty), several Cathedral
paintings of the Madonna and Child, Charles I
at the Hunt by Van Dyck, the Death of General
Wolfe by West, & The Parley by Remington.
Sculpture: Text 187pp &29 chapters. Topics
include: Egyptian sphinxes, Assyrian cherubs,
athletic looking Greeks (blurred for modesty,)
natural human poses, miniatures, medals, busts,
carved columns, reliefs, gargoyles, doors/gates,
churches, animals, tombs, myths, Gods, heroes,
symbolism, American Presidents, memorials
& modern sculptures. Lesson manual has 54
activities such as creating a composite animal
from salt dough, and cutting out silhouettes of
family members. Art card folio has 25 images
including the Colossi of Memnon, a bust of
Emperor Hadrian, an ivory tablet from Syria,
the Pieta by Michelangelo, Statue of Liberty and
Winged Victory. ~ Sara

Short Lessons in Art History: 35 Artists and
Their Work (6-12)
These lessons could very easily be used with
younger children if you read the interesting,
informal biographies aloud. Starting in the
14th century with the Italian Renaissance,
this book proceeds chronologically along geographic lines, tracing the major art movements of their times. Just a sampling of artists
included: Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo,
Raphael, Dürer, Rubens, Rembrandt, Goya,
Manet, Monet, Renoir, Matisse, Wyeth. Each
chapter begins with general background information, followed by 2-4 pages of biography
on each artist. Typeset is fairly small, so these
are substantial overviews of their lives and
works. Several black and white reproductions
of their artwork are contained within. At the
end of each biography are a few questions for
discussion and a glossary to help with pronunciation or understanding. Color plates with
22 reproductions of paintings from the various
artists are bound into the center of the book. If
desired, pair this with the correlated Exercises
and Activities book to extend your study into
art! This reproducible book contains exercises
and activities paralleling the study of each artist
in Short Lessons. Each contains simple comprehension questions in the form of word puzzles,
crosswords, matching, or fill in the blanks.
Other questions require more careful thought
on the part of the student, as they are asked to
define terms, contrast artists’ styles, etc. Longer
“Writing Questions” call for independent writing or research. The student might be asked to
construct a time line of the artists’ major works,
or describe how certain events influenced an
artists’ work. Answers to these questions and
exercises are included. Finally, each section
has a student project correlated to the artist
under study. From sketching a scene Giotto
might have drawn as a boy to constructing a
Calder-inspired mobile, students create various
art forms in the style of the artists under study,
adding their own special touches as well. The
components together would constitute a very
complete art course. I would not hesitate to
use this with even younger children - perhaps
covering a chapter per week, and ending with
the art project.

Discovering Great Artists: 150 Art Ideas for
Learning (K-8)
Here are 150 activities that teach the styles,
works, and techniques of the great masters - Van
Gogh, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and more.
To imitate Michelangelo’s Sistene Chapel, the
young artist paints while reclined on his back
with paper taped to the bottom of a table. To
experience Van Gogh’s style, children mix
paints into a thick substance called “impasto”
and then paint with heavy, swirling brush
strokes. Each activity contains a brief history
of the artist, a project, and an example of that
artist’s work.

Great American Artists for Kids (PK-7)
By the same authors of Discovering Great
Artists, above, this project book features 75
art activities, all based on the work of famous
American artists. The very helpful table of
contents groups the artists into four categories,
based on periods and style and also provides
at-a-glance guidance on the art activity used,
the style, the technique used for the project, the
recommended age level, and the level of adult
help. Each artist and corresponding project is
featured on one or two glossy, full-color pages
which offer background on the artist, a portrait
of the artist as interpreted by a child, a description of the activity, a list of materials, and a stepby-step procedure. You’ll enjoy activities such
as designing a magazine cover like Norman
Rockwell, drawing a busy scene in the style of
Grandma Moses, creating a stained glass window with colored “bubbles” like Frank Lloyd
Wright, creating your own “Seussel” character
in the style of Theodor Seuss Geisel, and much,
much more. You can also visit the author's
website (www.brightring.com/americanartists.
html) for links to examples of each artist's work.
If your art appreciation course includes a study
of American artists, you won’t want to bypass
this one! 142 pgs, pb. – Jess

on a spread of pages along with a few short,
interesting paragraphs of information about the
work itself, the techniques used, and the artist
who created it. Then you flip the page to see
how you can imitate that work and style using
simple materials and methods. For example,
the first work highlighted is Van Gogh’s “The
Starry Night.” After looking at the painting and
reading about it, you turn to the next page,
which has step-by-step directions to help you
make your own swirly landscape using thick
paints and a plastic fork. In six steps you go
from drawing a simple landscape sketch, adding color, and using the fork to manipulate the
paint into swirly patterns like those found in
Van Gogh’s painting. The end products are
very attractive, and completing the projects will
help students remember the distinctive styles of
the artists they’ve studied. The projects pages
are very colorful and offer beautiful illustrations
of the finished projects to give students a visual
aid. Throughout the 22 works/projects, students
will be introduced to 3-D art, paintings, abstract
art, prints, collages, Chinese brush painting, and
other styles/types of art for a well-rounded but
fun early art education. Hc, 96 pgs. – Melissa

☼Eye for Art: Focus Great Artists & Their
Work (4-12)
More than just artist biographies, this book goes behind
the scenes of many great works
of art from a variety of periods and styles. Everyone from
the Dutch masters to modern American artists are here.
Gorgeous color photos accompany interesting text. There are 40 projects for
students to try themselves, ranging from writing a
poem to making a collage to creating an action
figure or puppet and writing a story about it. Over
50 artists including Rembrandt, Matisse, Degas,
O’Keefe, and Calder. It’s a different approach to
an art book and I quite liked it. In fact, I read the
whole book! It could be a good starting point for
a unit study or just add it to any art program at
home or at school. 175pp, sc. ~ Sara

See the Light Art Projects DVDs (5-12)
Whether or not you’re familiar with Pat
Knepley’s Art Class DVDs, anyone with a
creative spirit or an interest in art is sure to
enjoy Art Projects! Each DVD highlights one
detailed art project which incorporates the style
of a great master. Along the way, viewers are
also exposed to art concepts like the “Rule of
Thirds,” color theory, line and shape, and much
more. Each DVD is between 1-2 hours in length
but is broken into several segments. However,
the project itself will take about 3-4 hours for
students (or anyone else following along) to
complete. The projects are typically introduced
with a good amount of biographical information
on the featured artist, and at least one segment
during the project is devoted to discussing
art concepts. There are different art materials
needed for each project, and these are detailed
on the back of the DVDs (which you can find on
our website) or at SeeTheLightShine.com. These
are excellent, well-produced DVDs with excellent and interesting projects, and Pat is a terrific
teacher. I would use these along with any art
curriculum as a special emphasis or project,
with an art appreciation program, or individually just for fun. These would also be great for
a group or co-op setting! There is no particular
order to completing the DVDs, but you can
purchase a set (includes all of the titles except
for Cartooning) at a discount. – Jess

☼Daily Warm Ups: Art History (5-8)
Turn extra classroom minutes into valuable
learning time or use this as a way to easily
work some art history into your homeschooling
day without taking the time for a full program.
180 quick activities cover key artists (Giotto,
El Greco, Dali, etc.), artistic styles (Rococo,
surrealism, contemporary, etc.), and time periods (pre-historic, Roman, contemporary, etc.).
Because the book is small (7.75” x 5.5”), you
have to find another resource for viewing the
paintings, but in the back, a list of websites is
included to view the paintings/sculptures that
go with the activities. Make that search part of
the student’s assignments! You will touch on
everything from cave paintings to street graffiti
as your students are asked compare the Roman
Colosseum with modern sports arenas; describe/
draw patterns & shapes found in an animal head
carving in Norway; create an advertisement
after looking at Toulouse Lautrec’s use of text
in his posters; and describe some of the themes
in more modern photographs. Though recommended for middle grades, this can cross over
into all ages with some creative discussions.
Reproducible (though not perforated) or you
can print copies off of the companion CD-ROM
(included). Answer key in the back, 223 pp,

swing was just a painting… Kids are natural artists and they love to talk about their work. These
books are teaching tools to give kids the right
words to use to describe their art. You see several color photos of masterful works of art, but you
also get some ideas of what to ask kids about the
pictures. Activity ideas are included with every
technique explained. For example, in Seeing the
Light in Art, readers examine Renoir’s painting
The Swing, with people in a park under dappled
shade. You get a simple narrative of how the
Impressionists painted quickly to properly capture the light in their paintings. Then there is a
caption with an activity for kids to try. This one
talks about how dappled sunlight is excellent
camouflage for forest creatures and asks kids to
make a picture where animals with spots, stripes
and patches merge with their background. Body
Language in Art focuses on determining what
an artist is trying to tell us about the figures in
their paintings. Kids become art detectives following a trail of clues. Facial expressions and
body posture reflects the mood, inner feelings,
and attitude of the subject and perhaps the artist
as they painted the picture. Questions like how
the subject’s lives may have been encourage
kids to really think about the art, not just look
at it and decide if it is pretty or not. In Really
Smart Art, 17 works of art are examined in light
of dimension, movement, perspective, portraits,
realism, imagination, technique, cultures, collage, angles, meaning and more. Questions
ask the reader, “Do you notice anything odd?”
and, “When you go to sleep, do you sometimes
dream?” Works include Escher, Durer, and Dali.
Critical thinking begins by looking further into
a topic than what meets the eye. These books
are a tool to encourage young thinkers and
young artists. 45 pgs, pb. ~ Sara

Art Books for Children (K-5)
Artists have many different ideas and styles, and
each one offers a new expression of imagination
and creativity. Each book explores the works
of 30 different artists, challenging children to
think “outside the box” about art and notice the
unique elements of each work. Here you learn
quirky things about the artists and their work
like how Raphael included his own face in all
of his paintings, or how Kandinsky tried to paint
things we can’t see or touch, like music. Fullcolor reproductions are accompanied by short
blurbs of interesting text, filled with questions
directed at students to help them “discover” the
work of art and appreciate its nuances (“what do
you think about the person in the painting?” “Do
you doodle when you get bored?”). In the back
are resources to find out more on the artists.
Perfect for a laid back art appreciation resource
for a wide age range of children, as younger and
older children alike can make insightful observations about the works. This high-quality book

art . Multiple flaps on each page show famous
paintings and sculptures. Art pieces (mostly
Western) from the 1600’s to modern age are
labeled by name, artist and date. Readers will
investigate how art is made and how artists use
color, line, movement and symbols to create

Famous Paintings Usborne Art Activity Cards
(1-AD)
Hold 30 great works of art in the palm of your
hand! Using the format of a deck of flashcards,
these art cards are a fun and informative student
learning activity. Color images of the art are on
one side, while the other side tells kids stuff like
the name of the artist, date and place it was
painted, what materials were used, where is it
now, what the artist was thinking as they were
painting, and things for kids to look for that may
not be initially obvious. Take A Sunday on la
Grande Jatte by Parisian artist Georges Seurat
for example. Did you know it is made of about
3.5 million colored dots and dashes? Or that
if you look hard you will find a pet monkey,
three dogs, and a tiny butterfly? How about that
it took him two years to complete? Its home is
at the Art Institute of Chicago, so those in the
Midwest can incorporate a field trip to the city
to see the real painting too! ~ Sara

☼Discover Great Art & Create Your Own (2-9)
Subtitled, Get Into Art, this series by author
Susie Brooks propels you into art! I reviewed the
Places book, but they all follow the same format. Students see a famous painting by a famous
artist on a 2-page spread. On the right page is a
4.5” flap with the title of the painting, the artist
and year it was painted, interesting facts about
the painting and some details to notice. A short
biographical blurb tells you about the artist. The
best part is revealed when you open the flap!
This is where the student is guided step-by-step
with instructions & illustrations to create their
own masterpiece in the style of the famous
painting. These are very workable projects and
give you the essence of the artist translated
for a young student in 4 easy steps. Books are
hardcover and lay open nicely. This is a great
way to introduce art and artists to your children
at home, in a classroom or in a co-op setting.
Supplies needed are common (paints, brushes,
construction paper, chalks, markers, glue, ruler,
etc.) but you will want some heavy art paper for
the best results. Twelve lessons, 31pp. ~ Sara

Art (DK) (2-AD)
When you take in the 600+ page count, the
large trim size, and the glossy, full-color pages
packed with gorgeous art reproductions, I feel
that the price on this “coffee-table-quality” art
book is extremely reasonable. This has been
a popular book around our office; its visual
appeal is undeniable! After an opening chapter
on looking at art and understanding basic art
concepts (subject and composition, light and
shade, etc.), the rest of the chapters progress
chronologically from prehistory to the present
day. Within each chapter specific geographical
areas, cultures or artistic movements are covered. Most chapters focus on a group of artists
that represent that time period or style, each
with a short biography or biographical information and examples of their artwork. Often there
are “closer looks” where the reader is invited to
zoom in on a particular segment of a painting
to appreciate a technique or a special feature.
Occasionally, a themed page with a black
background features a collection of works by
different artists based around a similar subject,
such as children or work. Like other DK books,
the pages are packed with captioned full-color
art reproductions. It’s easy to believe that over
2,500 works are featured in this hefty volume!
The art reproductions vary widely in size; some
of them are page-size, while others take up
only a few inches of space. Whether you use
this as an art reference or a coffee table book,
it’s almost irresistible to browse. One important
note: although the book is an excellent reference, it is not geared specifically for children.
There are plenty of nudes and partial nudes
throughout the book. You will want to “edit”
with sticky notes or selectively preview which
pages you use with your children depending
on their ages and your own family preferences.

This attractive, hardcover book provides a
thorough introduction to art and its history.
The book is arranged chronologically, divided
into five different time periods covering ancient
and medieval art, the renaissance, baroque
and rococo periods, the revolution, and modern world art. Each page in these chapters is
covered with interesting text, lots of pictures of
paintings, and brief captions. While I enjoy art
books anyway, this one is especially attention
holding and very reader friendly. Techniques
and other signs of the times are pointed out in
the paintings so readers can see how the painting process changed and developed over time,
including the way people were painted as well
as the fashions and other preferences of each
period. Aside from these main sections, there
are two other section, one at the beginning and
on at the end, which provide an introduction
and a look behind the scenes, giving students
even more information about the subject. Also,
internet links where readers can find more information about paintings or artists are scattered

Usborne Book of Famous Artists (4-AD)
Most art books talk more about the painting
itself than the artist. Here you learn about the
person first. Kids learn things they won’t get in
just any old art book. Learn about the artist as a
kid themselves, what they liked to do, and who
inspired them. Most of the 35 artists are featured over two-page spreads, with more prolific
artists getting four pages. There is a narrative,
examples of their work, some representation
of the person and where they come from, with
snippets of information around the pages with
funny little illustrations so it’s not all so serious
looking. Your students will like the easy-to-read
format. This is not a text book, though there
is a lot of information in this book. Use it as
a starting point for a unit study on art and let
kids choose a person to focus on. I think kids
who are interested in art or museums will really
enjoy this one. ~ Sara

100 Artists Who Shaped World History (5-AD)
This book is ideal for supplementing any art
curriculum. It offers brief biographies of 100
great artists. One page is devoted to each
biography, along with a drawing or picture of
that artist. It covers Monet, Picasso, Grandma
Moses, Audubon, Cassatt, Van Gogh, Matisse,
Kandinksy, and tons of others, including many
you may not recognize. The interesting, informative biographies recount the artists' lives from
their births, through their major life events and
works of art, to their deaths. While not packed
with details, the biographies offer enough information for students to learn the basics about
each artist's life. This book should be sufficient for those wanting to complete an overall
study of the artists but not an in-depth study.
The biographies are arranged in chronological
order, so students can read straight through the
book or you can use it as a reference for artists
mentioned in your art curriculum. Several trivia
questions and an index are included. 112 pgs.

Benjamin West and His Cat Grimalkin (1-6)
Some of the best stories are the ones that come
from real people in history. One such story
starts with a boy who was raised a Quaker in the
Pennsylvania region before the founding of the
United States. Benjamin West enjoyed painting
so much he did what most would never think
of doing: He made paint from clay, plants, and
dirt, and fashioned paintbrushes from the tail of
his cat, Grimalkin! Follow the great American
writer Marguerite Henry as she traces the early
years of this young man and his cat in this exciting tale. 147 pgs, pb. – John

The Second Mrs. Giaconda (3-9)
Leonardo da Vinci was the greatest artist of
his time. Gian Giacomo de' Caprotti, called
Salai, was an apprentice with a larcenous heart
and an aversion to truth. The third character
is a young duchess whose plain face belies her
beautiful soul. Could the complex ways these
three lives intertwine hold the key to a historical
riddle as enigmatic as the Mona Lisa's smile why Leonardo da Vinci devoted three years to
a painting of the second wife of an unimportant merchant when all the nobles of Europe
were begging for a portrait by his hand? Only
a master storyteller like E.L. Konigsburg could
create such an intriguing answer to the puzzle
behind the most famous painting of all time.

unique bit of creative historical interpretations

Anholt’s Artists Series (PK-3)
These slim historical fiction books offer a
glimpse into the lives of famous artists and real
children who knew them. The story is told
from the perspective of the child. In Degas and
the Little Dancer, Marie is a ballet student from
a very poor family. She dreams of being the
most famous dancer in the world, but her father
becomes ill and they no longer have enough
money to pay for Marie’s lessons. Degas, an
ill-tempered artist who comes to the studio to
draw the dancers, just might be able to help
Marie. The books are fully illustrated, featuring
beautiful illustrations to accompany the stories.
Each one also includes a few reproductions of

Dover Masterworks: Color Your Own
Masterpieces (PK-AD)
Each of these books contains 30 blackline
reproductions of great works for young artists
to color. Use them as a supplement to art
appreciation courses, or just color them in for
fun. Full color pictures of the actual paintings
are printed on the insides of the front and back
covers, so kids have the option of coloring the
pictures “true.” Please note that these books do
feature great works of famous artists, and may
contain a little bit of nudity. (The only book
that we’ve noted to include nudity is Gaugin.)
Titles that are at the higher price point below
are ones that have transitioned to the newer
"Dover Masterworks" series where the perforated pages are printed on only one side, so you
can more easily remove and display finished

Pomegranate Coloring Books (PK-AD)
Realistic coloring books for
the serious crayon enthusiast! Even your older kids
will enjoy this series. Line
drawings of works by these
famous artists are to be colored with pencil or crayon by
your own young artists. Let
them experiment with different media and techniques, or try to recreate the
original then frame it in your learning space.
Inside the front and back covers are color prints
of the 22 paintings. Use these to recreate the
masterpieces, or use your own colors and see
how they compare to the original. In comparison to the Color Your Own Masterpieces collection, this set has a more simplistic outline of the
original art. Color Your Own… is more detailed
overall, but the series contains more books with
compilations of multiple artists while this series
offers more artist-specific books. I would say
to choose by the artists or periods you want to
study. Both brands are quite good. ~ Sara

Master Kitz (1-8)
Each of these sturdy art tool boxes includes
all of the materials you need to recreate famous
artist's masterpieces with your own touch.
Materials generally include paints, uniquely
patterned rollers, pastels, and pastels, but differ somewhat depending on the kit. Each kit
includes two pieces of 16"x20" deluxe art paper
for your creation, but there is enough paint
that along with the reusable supplies you could
make a couple more if you purchase additional
paper, or unlimited if you buy more paint! If
you plan to hang the masterpiece, you may
even consider using a canvas instead for an
even nicer finished product. The instructions
and illustrations are very easy to follow and they
also contain interesting information about the
original artist and his style, along with tips to
emulate it. Grandma gave my 7 yr-old daughter
the Starry Night kit for her birthday, and with
just a little help taping stencils, she turned
out a magnificent recreation! These are simply
fantastic kits to complement your art appreciation studies and connect styles and well-known
paintings to the artists. ~ Steph

Color Yourself Smart: Masterpieces of Art (7-AD)
Is this a coloring book? An art history book? A
collection of artist biographies? An art kit? The
answer is YES to all! This long, landscape format
book includes a set of 8 full-size, Faber-Castell
colored pencils with rich deep colors, a sharpener, and an eraser. The pages conveniently
lay flat. On your left page is interesting information about the painting and artist, the time
period and location, and a quick-view list of “10
Things to Remember.”. “Did You Know” facts
are at the bottom in a blue text box. The right
hand page of the spread is a blackline outline
of the painting for you to color in. Small, fullcolor copies of each are in the back of the book.
Students can imitate the originals or decide not
to look at the original until they have colored
their own, and then compare. This would make
a great writing assignment! The colored images
in the back are not of the exact paintings; rather
they are done as if the artist had colored in the
provided black outline of the real painting, like
a coloring book page of the real picture. An art
history quiz is also included. Please note there
is some nudity. 127 pgs, hc. ~ Sara

Games & Puzzles
☼My Big Art Show (PK-AD)
My Big Art Show is a card game (art rummy)
which can be played by 2 or more players.
Shuffle the cards and deal out 7 to each player.
The remaining cards go face down in a pile in
the middle, with the top card turned up on a
second pile. Look at your cards & decide which
paintings to collect. Each card shows a color
image of a painting, its title & date, the artist’s
name, the movement & theme, a number of
stars for fame & value (up to 5 stars each) and a
Find Out! question which can earn you an extra
star. Each card is about 4” x 6” w/rounded corners. You need to collect one set with the same
theme, one set with the same movement, and
you have to have a set of 3 & a set of 4. The 6
themes include: animals, still life, stories, people, places and religion. The 12 art movements
include: Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassicism,
Romanticism, Realism, Impressionism, Postimpressionism,
Expressionism,
Cubism,
Futurism, Surrealism and Pop Art. When it’s
your turn, take a card from either pile and discard 1 card to the face-up pile. The winner is
the first player to get a set of 3 and a set of 4
in theme & movement. At the end of a round,
the winner counts the stars as points. The player
with the most stars wins. Five bonus cards
can either add or take away stars from your
score. You can keep it simple or get trickier by
answering the Find Out! question every time
you pick up a face-up card to earn another star.
Instructions for 4 more games are also here,
but there is much more to be found in this little
book! There are summaries and examples of all
12 movements and the 6 themes shown on the
cards. Then, you have information about the
47 artists on the cards! Artists include Blake,
Cezanne, Dali, Goya, Klee, Lichtenstein, Miro,
Raphael, Tanner, Velasquez and Warhol. This
part of the book is color-coded by movement
and can be used as a reference when playing
the various card games. The last page is a glossary of 18 art terms such as fresco, impasto,
etc. The cards are durable and the set comes in
a box that will keep it all together nicely. Use
to introduce art or reinforce your art appreciation study. The rummy game is easy to catch
onto and a variety of ages can play together.
Though I think the text in the book would be
directed to upper elementary and middle grade
students, older students can appreciate learning
about the paintings and artists as they play the

Art Playing Cards (7-AD)
These versatile, inexpensive decks of playing cards will delight art lovers—and come
in handy for art appreciation class, too. Each
deck contains a full set of playing cards, with
the traditional images replaced by 54 full color
reproductions of famous paintings. You will recognize many of these classics from the Western
world - Mona Lisa, Ophelia, Henry VIII - and
works by Rembrandt, Rubens, Van Gogh and
many other great artists. Each card lists the
name of the painting, artist, and year below the
artwork image. The Art Pack contains reproductions of entire paintings while the Art Detail Pack
zooms in on portions of larger paintings. There
is a small amount of overlap between paintings
covered in the two decks. Please note that there
is some nudity. The Art Pack set contains five
cards with (classically tasteful) nudity, such as
Botticelli’s Birth of Venus and Michelangelo’s
Creation of Adam. The Art Detail set contains
less nudity, but one of the Joker cards is an
image of a woman’s bare backside (Boucher’s
Reclining Girl). ~ Lisa

Starting Art – 1 2 3 I Can... (PK-2)
Sweet and simple, bright and encouraging
are all words to describe this series by Irene
Luxbacher. Even the littlest artists can learn
some new vocabulary terms and try some new
hands-on creative techniques with these colorful books. I went through the a couple of the
books and took away three common principles:
use materials you have on hand, focus on the
process not the product, and mistakes often
become an unexpected and delightful part of
the design. Each book shows students how to
complete several projects (from a clay city to a
painted ocean) while inspiring even more original creations after that. You may have to lock
your bathroom and kitchen cabinets from your
artsy little monsters after using this charming
series! 9.5 x 9.5” and 24 pgs, pb ~ Sara

Art Lessons for Children DVDs (3-AD)
If you’d like your children to be able to take
art lessons but don’t have an art co-op or an
artsy friend, and if you don’t have the time to sit
down and lead an art lesson yourself, you might
check these out. Each of these DVDs features
3-4 complete art lessons taught by art teacher
Donna Hugh. Volumes 1 and 3 of the DVDs
focus exclusively on watercolor, while Easy
Art Projects introduces oil pastels, foil art, and
printmaking. It would be most helpful to watch
a lesson (or lesson portion) and then let students
do their own, or have them do their own while
watching the lesson again. Donna is a very
warm and encouraging art teacher, and she is
always reminding viewers that their art does not
have to look like her example and that there is
no one way to do the project. She often shows
examples of students’ work along with her own
examples. In my sample of Easy Watercolor
Techniques, I was impressed at how all of the
projects are designed to let children explore
the joy of using watercolors and are simple to
complete. They seem to always turn out well,
regardless of “talent” or age. In the first project,
you begin by making freeform blotches of bright
watercolor paints all over your paper, filling in
with darker greens and blues. When the paint
has dried, you can go over the blotches with
a felt-tip pen and turn them into a bouquet of
flowers! What starts out looking like random
painting turns into something very special. The
lesson order does not rely upon skill progression, so you can feel free to visit them in any
order. The lessons are also fairly freeform, so
they would work well even for a group of students at different ages, and I could see returning
to them maybe once a year, so students could
try them again when slightly older. Another
bonus is that the materials for each project are
relatively few, so you won’t need to spend a lot
of time gathering supplies. Required materials
are listed below each DVD. – Jess
EACH DVD . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29.95 23.95

DoArt Kits (2-9)
It can be hard to find art kits that introduce
younger students to art supplies with basic
instructions and technique helps that won’t
overwhelm them. These kits fill that void and
include quality, Faber-Castell materials as well
as a full-color beginner’s guide. The glossy
guides introduce young artists to the materials
included, then provide short, to-the-point suggestions for techniques to try or simple exercises
to build their skills. While not extensive, the
booklets provide a good introduction and would
prepare a student to continue their exploration
with more advanced beginner art instruction
books. The only thing we’re not thrilled with?
The rather small, 6” x 8” pads of paper. You
may want to quickly supplement with a much
larger sketchbook or watercolor pad.

003678 Block Printing Kit . . 20.00 15.75
Starter block printing set introduces youngsters to the technique known as relief, which
originated in China over 1700 years ago. In
this kit the “block” is a thin section of foam
into which a drawing is etched. Etching
can be done using the stencil or 4 drawing
sheets included or can be done freehand
with the drawing tool. Cut out the section of
foam with the drawing, then roll blue, red,
yellow or green paint over it. Then place
it in the work tray, put a sheet of bordered
printing paper upside down in the tray, and
roll over it to transfer the work of art. Kit
contains everything you need, including 8
sheets of foam, 2 rollers, 20 sheets of printing paper, and tracing and transfer paper for
use with freehand drawing.

subject matters have a young, fresh feel that will
keep kids focused and ones they’ll enjoy as they
are recreating. These kits encourage beginning

☼Trace & Color (7-AD)
Are you better at painting than drawing? Do
you need some guidance in laying out your
work? These books from Walter Foster are an
interesting blend of art instruction with various
media and patterns for you to trace and color in
as you wish. Each book begins with 14 pages
showing you color wheels & combinations, followed by tips & techniques for colored pencils,
oil & acrylic paints, watercolors, oil pastels,
markers & pens. Then, you see the recommended color palettes with a finished product as an
example. Each book includes 6 black-line patterns and 4 sheets of graphite paper. You place
the graphite paper under the pattern to trace
it onto whatever paper (or canvas or board)
you choose to use. Each pattern is 8.5” x 12”.
While they have some detail, there is still plenty
of room for your own style to come through. If
you have a middle or high school art student,
one of these books is a good way for them to
try the various media and see if they like one
in particular. They are really good for teaching
color theory & simple techniques for creating
a realistic finished product. Because you are
tracing the patterns, you can use them again
and again, maybe one in cool colors and one in
warm tones. Or, play with the light & shadows,
painting the same image several times like the
Impressionists! 32pp, pb. ~ Sara

All in all, it’s a great basic course that you
can use with all of your children at the same
time, without the older ones getting bored or
the younger ones being frustrated. Everyone
can take learn or refine their own skill while
working through the lessons. Because the
“models” are usually photos included in the
lesson material, the students could apply the
same techniques to photos of their own selection to expand the lessons or practice further. I
think that the CD-ROM format is an interesting
choice, but I can see how it is a practical way
for everyone to be able to see the lesson without
sharing a book, and the student handouts can
all be printed which avoids the issue of having
student packets or even having to reproduce
pages for each student. A lot of concepts are
covered here, taught mostly from example and
the student’s drawing experience. Because the
lessons are so straightforward and foundational,
I could see a definite advantage in revisiting at
least some of them each year, as students grow
older and more skillful. The folks at Practical
Homeschooling are fans too - The Phonics of

The Big Yellow Drawing Book 7th Ed. (2-AD)
This deceptively simple, cartoonish drawing
workbook with a yellow cover was always a
staple in our house. Written for all ages, you
start by drawing a simple circle, turn it into a
cartoon face, then try lots of variations to reflect
different emotions. Just a page or two later,
you're drawing a group of round cartoon heads,
learning about overlapping and perspective in
the process. The exercises progress from there,
but the basic drawings are simple and cartoonlike, while emphasizing concepts and practice
in foreshortening, perspective, shading and
more. Every page shows examples which you
copy in a plain white box provided next to the
original. By the end of the book, you’re drawing
more complex cartoon people. Perfect for all
ages of beginning artists, this is a great book for
everyone in the family to work through at the
same time. - Jess

An A-to-Z journey through the art and fun
of making 3-D cartoons. Third in a series of
interactive drawing books by Mark Kistler, this
book provides new and stimulating suggestions
on how to bring adventures to life. Brimming

to Drawing in 3-D, with perforated pages crossreferenced to that volume. There’s ample space
here for re-creating all 333 illustrations and
all the amazing versions of the 3-D alphabet.
Following the lessons in the text, drawing spaces range from partial to full pages, based on the
size of the image to be produced, and include
instructions as well as an example of what the
finished drawing should look like.

Drawing Lessons for Beginners DVDs (3-AD)
Watching these DVDs is like having an art
teacher come into your house and give the
whole family drawing lessons – but in this case
you can repeat the lessons as often as you want!
Each DVD contains three or four lessons, each
one focusing on one important drawing concept
and using a different subject to illustrate. The
art teacher, Donna Hugh, besides being masterful with a pencil herself, is also encouraging
and friendly. She makes drawing approachable
and understandable for everyone, and I think it’s
very helpful to be able to view the drawing in
action instead of out of a book. In my sample of
Vol. 1: Simple Shapes, viewers will learn how
to really “see” objects while drawing bell peppers, how to use shading and shadows by drawing a shoe, how to finish a drawing with colored
pencils by drawing a conch shell, and how to
make a mixed-media still life. I really enjoy
the way each DVD covers different drawing
skills using different subjects including animals,
people, and plants. Each lesson runs about
15-20 minutes in length, during which Donna
introduces the topic, begins the drawing, and
finishes it, instructing the whole time. It would
probably be helpful to watch the lesson first and
then begin doing the lesson yourself, watching the DVD as you go if you find it helpful.
Materials required are few, including a basic
set of drawing pencils, paper, colored pencils,
a simple frame, pan watercolors, watercolor
pencils, and water-based pen. If you find learning to draw out of a book difficult, these DVDs
would be a refreshing change! - Jess

to them, instead it reads like it was written for
adults. The reason for this is the author is actually addressing artists - and the effect is wonderful! She knows that all kids are artists, and
becoming a wonderful artist is something they
are all completely capable of. Consequently,
the text and instructions are filled not just with
encouragement, but with complete confidence.
I really love the coverage and progression of
this book. It explains many wonderful drawing
techniques and tricks that I learned in a college
drawing course and should be taught to children
when they are just beginning. It starts with the
simplest concepts, like appropriate materials
(nothing fancy here, just a brief summary of different types of basic pencils and paper), exploring how to really see what you're drawing, and
various types of lines. These lessons provide
the foundation for the later lessons, which
cover light and shadow, proportion and scale,
perspective, drawing faces, and drawing bodies
(don't worry - no nudity here!). Throughout
each lesson, lots of great advice and a handful
of effective, beneficial drawing exercises help
children practice each concept. Another great
thing about this book is that it is high-quality the pages are thick and glossy, with color used
throughout - it's hard for children to learn drawing with black and white pictures and then try
to move on to real objects and suddenly have
to translate color into their drawings. Any child
with the motivation for working through this
book will reap huge benefits in their artwork,
and the exercises can be done again and again
for additional practice, so even after it is complete it's worth having around. 112 pgs, pb.

Jon Gnagy Learn to Draw Kit (3-AD)
While I am a little too young to remember
Jon Gnagy, I can appreciate good art and good
value! The kit includes a black-and-white
64-page instructional book, fifteen 12” x 18”
sheets of drawing paper, a 12” x 18” drawing
board, 3 sketching pencils, a carbon pencil, a
kneaded eraser, a tortillion (or “stomp”), a piece
of gray chalk, two pieces of black chalk, and a
sandpaper pad. Armed with these materials, it’s
time to investigate the book, a short course in
learning how to draw. The first pages focus on
the basics: using your pencil, stomp, and chalk
to make different tones. Then you practice
drawing lines, shapes, and forms (3-D shapes).
A “crash course” on composition and perspective follow. Then you jump into the lessons,
which guide you in six or less steps to making
a picture, complete with shading and texture.
The steps are somewhat lengthy, with the goal
being a very realistic, three-dimensional representation. Thankfully, the example drawing progresses with you. The lesson subjects increase
in complexity, incorporating more complex
shapes and a range of subject matter, including
pumpkins, a steamboat, snow-covered landscape, a Great Dane, and a Mexican boy. The
end of the book provides guidance on drawing
the human figure in action. While I have some
issues with the layout and readability of the
book (all instructions are in three languages,
which makes every page seem crowded), this
is the only kit I have seen that includes all of
your supplies, gets you up and running quickly,
and emphasizes shading to produce a “finished”
look. – Jess

Discover Drawing Series (4-10)
This drawing series implements the “grid”
technique to create very realistic, lifelike, and
impressive drawings of people and animals that
everyone will wow over. Each book contains
early chapters encouraging the beginning artist
with amazing before-and-after pictures, information on the necessary materials, a review of
blending, shading, graphing, and basic shapes,
then culminates in a graphing exercise. As they
delve deeper into their drawing subjects, the
exercises become graph drawings of individual
parts of people and animals, before beginning
to put these together in full-figure drawings. As
the art student becomes more proficient with
this method, more complicated scenarios are
introduced, such as emotion, movement, positions, complicated features,and other details.
After working through these books, the young
artist should be able to draw any subject from a
photo, with beautiful, lifelike results. Everyone
will want them to draw their portrait! - Jess

Learn to Draw Step-by-Step (5-AD)
This oversized book is easy to use and surprisingly thorough. With a few short steps and lots

in perspective, fruit, flowers, birds, animals,
people, caricatures, silhouettes, and more. After
introducing you to different tools and styles, the
author then shows you how to create wonderful
pictures. Each page shows sketches of the object
in a few phases that end in a beautiful turnout.

Art Elements (7-AD)
Sometimes all your budding artist needs is a
model to follow and lots of practice. Author
and former Walt Disney animation artist Bruce
McIntyre covers a lot of drawing tips in a
unique, appealing way. Rather than starting at
the beginning and running through basic art
concepts, here you get a condensed page of
hand-drawn illustrations that exemplify the element covered on that page. A short explanation
or tip on that element appears at the bottom,
and the fun illustrations offer tips themselves
through word balloons and signs as part of the
drawing. This is not a step-by-step how to guide.
The pages look rather like a comic book done
in black and white. Each page covers a specific
element and the illustrations depict how to use
it effectively. Even the titles across the top of
each page are visually exciting as they illustrate
the element being taught on that page. Over 60
tips are explored and include: grouping, stripes,
balance, variety, tilt, shading, sunbursts, texture
& more. With the simple explanations and apt
illustrations, students will quickly grasp each
element and be ready to incorporate it into their
own sketches. It is a small book at 5.5 x 8.5”
and 61 pp, just right for throwing into a portfolio
with a sketchpad! If your student is into illustration, graphic design, cartooning or such, they
will appreciate the lessons found here. ~ Sara

You Can Draw in 30 Days (7-AD)
Mark Kistler, cartoonist and author of the everpopular Draw Squad and Drawing in 3-D with
Mark Kistler, has taught children to draw for
years. In this book, he takes his fun, yet startwith-the-basics approach and offers it to adults
who think they can’t even draw a straight line!
He promises that yes, anyone can learn to draw
if they set aside 20 minutes a day for a month.
If you’re game, you can grab any old pencil and
sketchbook and embark on an adventure that
will take you from drawing spheres to tackling
the human face! I like the balance of simple
form and more advanced skills he meshes
together here. Although you begin by drawing
a circle, you immediately turn it into a threedimensional sphere by adding shading. So you
skip that whole “drawing a straight line” thing
and head straight into the world of 3-D. Lessons
progress in difficulty, beginning with the basics:
spheres and cubes. From there you build onto
the cubes and spheres, creating koalas, roses,
cylinders, houses, rippling flags, pyramids,
mugs, trees, rooms and cities in one-point
perspective, buildings in two-point perspective,
and the human eye and face. Each lesson goes
step-by-step, with Mark’s illustrations showing
the student exactly what to add each time. His
written instructions are clear, easy-to-follow and
entertaining. Many of the lessons are reminiscent of those in Draw Squad, but the pace is a
bit quicker, and the subject matter slightly more
sophisticated. Lessons often end with a “Bonus
Challenge” where you can take your new skill
to the next level, and several examples from
Mark’s other adult students offer inspiration as
well. Drawing supplies are minimal, although
Mark makes suggestions and recommendations
in several lessons. With its 30-day commitment
and incremental lessons, I would recommend
this one as an introductory drawing course for
your high-schoolers, especially if they have not
had much drawing instruction in the past.

☼Drawing for Older Children and Teens (7-AD)
If I could express the essence of this enlightened book in one phrase it would be to
quote the author, Mona Brookes (internationally
acclaimed art educator and founder of Monart
Drawing School): “designed to encourage you
to draw for yourself.” The title says it all and is
ideal for teens and adult beginners who want
to enjoy drawing, learn fundamentals and discover their true potential. Brookes’ style is not
a step-by-step project book or for those wanting
to be a professional artist, but a psychological
exploration of your inner mind and feelings
mixed with pure enthusiasm. The book’s drawings and examples are a progression of students’
artwork as they work through her method of
teaching—they were either terrified of drawing, had very basic skills or never could draw
the way they wanted. The book is very copy
heavy, but easy to read. It does a wonderful
job of exploring various drawing media, as well
as explaining styles—abstraction, flat, realistic,
perspective—and helps the new artist develop
a style their own. The book has a helpful list of
basic supplies to get started and optional list for
further exploration. Each concept presented is
followed by a project with instructions, so you
read and then apply. The book should be used

from this book even if you only have time to

Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain 4ED
(8-AD)
This hefty drawing book provides instruction
for the serious drawing student. Without assuming much prior instruction, the author begins
simply and progresses in difficulty. 12 chapters
include "Drawing and the Art of Bicycle Riding,"
"Crossing Over from Left to Right," "Perceiving
Spaces," "Drawing a Profile Portrait," "Using
Your New Perceptual Skills for Creative Problem
Solving" and more. While there are many exercises included, most of the book is meant to be
read, with accompanying illustrations and diagrams. Topics include negative space, portraits,
light and shadows, perspective, edges and contours, color, and features. The author offers lots
of practical advice, sound instruction, and helpful tips. A drawing classic! 284 pages. - Melissa

Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain
Workbook (9-AD)
Created as a supplement to The New Drawing
on the Right Side of the Brain, this spiral-bound
workbook offers 40 exercises that act as “guided
practice” in drawing. The exercises are divided
into the five basic skills of drawing, including
“Perception of Edges,” “Perception of Spaces,”
“Perception of Relationships,” “Perception of
Light and Shadows” and “Perception of the
Gestalt.” Each exercise includes a short section
at the beginning which explains the purpose for
the exercise, a list of materials needed, stepby-step instructions, helpful illustrations, and
examples. Blank pages and large open spaces
are included in the workbook for the student to
complete the exercise, which keeps everything
neatly in one book and makes it easy to look
over your progress. A motivating forward, a
list of all the materials needed for the workbook, and a glossary of drawing terms all get
you started on the right foot. If you’re working
through The New Drawing on the Right Side
of the Brain, this will give you plenty of extra
practice! – Jess

☼Just Draw It! (9-AD)
Just as with any other skill, the real key to
drawing is practice. But if you think that all
drawing practice has to be dull and tedious,
think again. This drawing course is packed
with projects that push the boundaries of what
you will think of as drawing, with unique challenges and projects that I haven’t seen in other
instructional books. For example, you’ll brush
glue onto paper and “draw” with a ball of string,
draw a sculpture from different viewpoints with
different colored markers, draw a manhole
cover from different perspectives, make a nature
drawing with India ink and branches of different sizes that you collect, draw a full – then
crushed – can of soda, throw a die and draw a
face using different techniques depending on the
number rolled, draw your shopping list instead
of writing it, and so much more. There are a few
projects that are a little edgier, such as keeping a sketchbook by your bed to draw dreams,
drawing a piece of fruit in different stages of
decomposition, and even the suggestion to keep
a sketchbook (instead of a book or newspaper)
in the bathroom! Each project is presented on
one or two pages with brief instructions, examples and illustrations. Only one or two drawing
tools are used per lesson, and often the drawing
implement choice is left up to you – basically,
these are designed to be quick and easy activities. However, if you want to get the most out
of the book, it will be helpful to have a range
of drawing tools on hand, including pencils,
pens, India ink, markers, charcoal, and colored
pencils. Most activities can be done in a sketchbook, but some projects specify a specific paper
type or size, such as newsprint or large sheets
of paper. The instructions are in simple, stepby-step format, and there are suggested works of
art to look up online for each project as well. If
you have even one creative bone in your body,
you’ll be itching to pick up a pencil as you flip
through the pages! This would be an excellent
resource to use with highschoolers who have
had some experience or basic instruction in
drawing, an art co-op, or you could adapt some
of the activities to use as family art time as well.
You will probably want to preview the paintings
listed with each lesson to make sure they are all
appropriate for family viewing. With the wide
range of out-of-the-box projects, everyone is
sure to enjoy the variety of challenges as they
build drawing skills subconsciously! 160 pages,

Drawing - Beginning / How-to-Draw Books
Watch Me Draw Series (PK-AD)
Use engaging stories to inspire your children
to draw! As your child follows along with the
story, they will be prompted to draw one of the
characters in the story with the help of a special
flip-down drawing pad that can be used while
the book is open. The pad has 11 unfinished
drawings for your child to complete with the
help of step-by-step instructions provided. Each
drawing is a simplified, realistic-cartoon of animals, insects, plants, and objects. After they’ve
completed the drawing, there is a reward sticker
in the middle of the book for them to post on
the story page. There is also a page of 30 storythemed stickers that they can use for their own
general enjoyment. A great way for kids to build
confidence in their drawing skills before they’re
ready to draw their own characters. - elise

Usborne Big Drawing Book (PK-2)
A simple and cute drawing book that uses basic
shapes such as triangles, ovals, and squares
to create varied subjects. Simple step-by-step
instructions guide children as they fill the pages
with anything from spaceships to bunny rabbits
to fairies. More of an activity book than something you would use as art curriculum, this book
might serve well at restaurants, on car trips or
on a rainy day. Each two-page spread is a different setting, beckoning for different creatures
or objects. For example, one page is a town at
night and the artist is prompted to draw alley
cats atop the walls. The drawing instructions
usually have 4-6 steps, starting with a subject’s
most basic shape and gradually adding to it.

It’s Fun to Draw Series (PK-3 unless noted)
All aspiring artists need to start with the basics
and to have fun while learning. It’s Fun to Draw
is a fantastic series that any youngster can use to
start honing their skills. Each project has easyto-follow instructions that will clearly guide the
child through the step-by-step process of creating vivid whimsical characters or animals. In a
matter of minutes a novice will learn to create
a wide variety of animals, insects, knights,
pirates, princesses and even wee beasties from
the deep! Most of the projects are done with
pencil or crayon drawings, but a few are cardboard cutouts that require scissors. Divided by
subject matter, each book is published on high
finish paper, reasonably priced and cleverly
simplistic. The author clearly had a blast designing each project, sprinkling every other page
with a little trivia and naming certain characters, like Barnacle Butch and Sophie Storm (the
pirates book is my favorite, by the way). ~ Nick

illustrations, while the opposite page is blank,
to use for practice. There are no written steps to
accompany the illustrations—just the sequence
of shapes (so even children who are too young
to read can try their hand). A total of 30 items
are featured in each book, such as a cat, cheetah, or elephant (Animals), or vehicles, foods,

Ed Emberley’s Drawing Books (K-4)
These simple books guide you in drawing
humorous looking but realistic animals using
the simplest of shapes. In Ed Emberley style,
the directions for each of the many different
drawings are shown step-by-step starting with
a basic shape and adding shapes, dots, lines
and other minimal marks to acquire a finished
representation of an animal, person, vehicle, or
object. The process is simple, and the finished
product looks quite good. You could almost say
that this style of drawing is “creative doodling.”
Best of all, it requires no advanced artistic talent
to master! If you can draw shapes, squiggles,
and lines, then you can draw everything in these
books! Full color, 32 pgs, pb. - Melissa

Ralph Masiello Drawing Books (K-6)
These books, by illustrator Ralph Masiello, help kids
begin drawing through clear,
step-by-step picture instructions. While each step is
short and simple, the end
result is a realistic and fairly
detailed creature. Each drawing is explained on a twopage spread – on the left are the directions
(starting with a simple shape or line, and then
being built up, with the existing lines in black
and added lines of each step in red so kids can
clearly see what is being done at each step) and
on the right is a full-page picture of the finished
creature, colored realistically with different
materials. Extra challenge steps are given for
each drawing, for slightly older students who
want to add realistic details. About 14 drawings
are included in each book. Great for beginners.

How to Draw 101... (K-6)
Each book in this series shows kids how to
draw 101 objects relevant to the overall theme
of the book. There is no instructional text, as
the directions are shown through a series of six
(with a few exceptions) simple drawing steps.
Each step is shown in its own frame (rather
like a comic strip) for a clean, easy to follow
layout. The steps are clearly shown and do
not require any erasing – kids are only drawing lines that will be visible and necessary in
the finished drawing. (In some how to draw
books this is not the case, as kids start with an
overall shape and then have to erase bits as
they add legs, tails, etc.) The end products are
realistic, although some tend more towards the
cartoon (i.e. in Things That Go each drawing
looks realistic yet somewhat simplified, but in
Animals the drawings have more of a cartoonish appearance – chubbier proportions, subtle
expressions, etc.). 48 pgs, pb. – Melissa

Draw • Write • Now (K-6)
These are unusual books, combining art
instruction with handwriting practice, and
incorporating more than a little history and
science instruction along the way. Based on a
successful formula created by a now 75-yearold former teacher to inspire her students,
these inviting books might become your child’s
favorite part of the school day! They are nonconsumable, as your child will do the actual art
work and writing on separate paper. Each book
is divided into three themes (see below) with
a total of 21 lessons. In the spirit of Drawing
with Children, most of the lessons begin with
seeing the targeted objects as basic shapes
and lines. In each lesson, a colorful picture
shows the author’s model artwork, with neatly
penned text on ruled lines underneath. Stepby-step drawing instruction for the main object
in the picture is contained on the facing page.
Usually, this begins with basic shape(s), then
details are added a little at a time. After you
introduce the subject of the lesson, your child
follows these directions (with help, if needed)
to reproduce the subject. Then, a similar or
original background and details are added to the
student’s picture. After this is done, the accompanying text is copied. (Although text is shown
in manuscript, you might want to have older
children practice cursive.) Text is informational
and in short sentences; the author believes this
is more motivational and useful than forming
isolated letters. It seems to me that, after carefully creating such beautiful artwork, children
will be very careful to use their neatest and best
writing underneath! After the handwriting is
finished, your child can color the picture with
crayons, colored pencils, or felt tips. Additional
lesson-specific drawing tips and suggestions are
offered in a Teaching Tips section at the end
of the book. Some additional ideas and helps
for increasing art awareness or new techniques
1130
Art
are also found at the end of each themed unit.
Each lesson also includes a related question to
promote thinking and discussion. Answers to
each are also provided at the end of each unit,
along with a suggested book to read that will
expand on the topic. If you incorporate this literature, each theme could become a complete
unit study! We recommend using Blank Top
writing paper or My Illustrated Story Journals
(the latter would be perfect if you plan to extend
your study and need more writing space, since
each journal could contain 12 lessons with an
additional lined page for recording more info).

These beginner's drawing books help students
learn to draw accurately. The step-by-step
instructions begin with just a few simple shapes,
adding a few more shapes or lines with each
step until the drawing is completed. The last
step shows the completed drawing again, but
in color, so kids can use watercolors, crayons, colored pencils, etc. to really finish off
their fantastic drawings. My sample is Horses
& Ponies, and it covers twenty-five different
breeds. Each breed is introduced with a short
sentence or two, highlighting the distinguishing
features of that particular breed. Fun Facts and
trivia quiz questions are sprinkled throughout
(with quiz answers in the back), providing more
information about some of the breeds. 40-112

1-2-3 Draw Books (1-5)
Children often grow frustrated because they
can't draw anything that they feel looks "good,"
and often this is simply because their minds
haven't developed the observation skills necessary for lifelike drawings, and their motor
control skills are still developing. That's why
drawing books like these are helpful, because
youngsters can use a series of basic rounded
shapes to create animals, objects and people
that look, well, "good!" Each of these full-color,
64-page books includes scores of subjects to
learn how to draw, to draw, and to color. At
the beginning of each book, the basic shapes
that they need to learn are featured, and students are encouraged to practice at drawing
these shapes. Then, each lesson begins with
the student drawing the basic shapes, and adding more details and refinement from there to
create cute, but easily-recognizable objects,
animals, and people. I've had the chance to
look at Wild Animals, and I love the variety of
animals, including bush babies, hippos, lions,
wildebeests, orangutans, yaks, armadillos, and
much more. While the results aren't exactly
realistic, they are soft and adorable, fit to run in
any children's picture book. In Knights, Castles,
and Dragons, young artists learn to draw "basic
people" in several different positions such as
running, sitting, standing sideways, etc., along
with impressive castles, suits of armor, shields,
dragons, and all the exciting ingredients for
illustrating their own fantasy. Not only do these
act as good guidelines to help them draw more
easily, but these books also subtly introduce a
lot of important concepts such as movement,
facial expressions, and adding details. - Jess

Lee Ames' Draw 50… Series (3-AD)
Over the years, I have seen how-to-draw type
books from nearly every major publisher come
across the desk, some bad, some O.K., some
good, and some just terrific. These definitely
fall into the terrific category. We've carried
one title in this series for several years (Draw 50
Horses), and it has always been well-received,
so we were excited to come across the rest of
the titles in the series. Lee Ames, a talented and
well-known author and illustrator breaks down
a dizzying array of objects, from machines to
animals to people, and shows clearly in several,
easy-to-handle steps how to begin drawing the
object, how to build onto it, and how to finish
it off for a solid, satisfying, even professionallooking result. Each book features 50 items to
draw, each detailed on its own page, with the
drawing-in-progress clearly illustrated in a single
color (such as blue, red, or brown). For instance,
if we are going to try drawing a small moving van
from Draw 50 Vehicles, the first step is a simple
line (the ground) with three circles for the wheels.
In the next step an open box is added atop the
wheels, as are the base for the cab, and centers
of the wheels, while the circles and line from
the last step are faded a bit, so that each new
addition is clearly recognizable. The completed
drawing is shown in black and white, unlike the
blue and white in the progressing drawing, and
stands ready for you to add whatever colors or
finishing touches you feel inspired to add to your
own finished masterpiece. The black-and-white
finished drawing is also great for tracing for the
younger kids - or for those who like shortcuts.
Let me reiterate as well that unlike some other
how-to-draw books, the finished drawings featured here are high-quality and detailed, far from
more cartoon-ish results gathered from other
books I've seen. In short, the race cars and
airplanes will please the mechanical artist, while
the animal-lover will be satisfied with their renderings of realistic, expressive animals. If I was
going to splurge on one how-to-draw book this
year, it would definitely be one of these. - Jess

basic shapes. Blank white
pages with border designs
give you a place to do your

you will appreciate having small color versions
on the inside front & back covers to guide your
color choices (not that you have to follow them,
of course!). I love the perforated pages. They are
perfect for sharing & displaying your art! I also
like that these look a little “older” than some
other coloring books. The coloring pages have
one item on them (one dog, one flower cluster,
etc.) and are not too full or busy. That means
you can color in the background however you
want or leave it white to showcase your coloring
skills. By Dover. 30pp, pb. ~ Sara

☼Sketching Made Easy (3-AD)
Drawing is basic to many forms of art.
Graphite drawings can be beautiful, but for
beginners they can be daunting and discouraging when they go poorly. While these sets do
not have as simple a system as a “by number”
set, they encourage experimenting and practice
to achieve handsome results. Each project starts
with a drawing board that has important lines
pre-printed – so proportion and placement, two
of the most troublesome parts of drawing – are
already taken care of. With those steps out of
the way, you can focus on shading and mark
making. A guide is included that covers types
of marks, value scale, and shading techniques.
Each standard set includes one 8.75” x 11.25”
drawing board, six graphite pencils (3H – 6B),
one pencil sharpener, one eraser, and a drawing
guide. Each mini set includes one 5” x 7” drawing board, six tiny graphite pencils (3H – 6B),
and a drawing guide. Art Activity Set includes
four 8” x 10” drawing boards, six graphite pencils (3H – 6B), six graphite sticks (3H – 8B),
one pencil sharpener, one eraser, and a drawing guide.

Learn to Draw (6-9)
For the slightly more advanced artist, who
has conquered drawing cute little animals and
cartoon people with basic shapes, comes this
series, ready to accelerate you into drawing
more realistic, more detailed, and more "wow",
kinds of objects and animals, using a similar,
but more complex "basic shapes" technique. I
have in front of me Cars, 3-D, and Insects, and
each of them are equally impressive in their
broad scope of various subjects, as well as the
very step-by-step, easy-to-follow guidance to
allow you to achieve greater realism in your
drawings. Each exercise begins with careful
observation of the model (the artist's finished
product in this case), and then a few sketched
lines of the basic shapes upon which you will
build your drawing. As the exercise progresses,
the basic shape is completed, and more detail
is added, paying attention to scale, perspective,
and shading. This sounds a little unimpressive, but in Cars, although you start small, the
first exercise is drawing a profile of a Dodge
Stratus, and it only gets better from here, let me
tell you. Soon they'll be sketching Corvettes,
Lamborghinis, Dodge Vipers, and any other
of their dream cars from any angle, in motion,
and with all kinds of fun details. I predict very
impressive results here. Insects is much the
same, with the same steps taken to result in
very (almost too) lifelike creepy crawlies. 3-D
is slightly different, and while the end results
aren't going to be immediate, in the form of
snazzy racecars or lifelike animals, but will give
them a sense of how to use proper perspective
in every other drawing they create afterwards.
Exercises included give them practice with
various points of perspective in a wide selection
of settings to hone their skills on. This series
really makes it seem possible that anyone, with
enough practice, can draw well. - Jess

Tangling
☼Art of Tangling Drawing Book & Kit (5-AD)
Drawing and doodling can be a very calming
activity with interesting results. Tangling is a
focused form of doodling using detailed patterns
and effects. After learning a few basic tools &
materials, you can explore tangling through
a variety of prompts. You will learn to create
your tangles step by step. This kit comes with
everything you need to get started with your
tangles! You get a soft graphite drawing pencil
& sharpener, a kneaded eraser, 20 archival
paper tiles (3.5” squares), 2 archival ink pens
in 0.1 and 0.2mm, and basic white drawing
paper for working out your ideas. Several pages
of instruction have you practicing random lines
& squiggles, effects like shading & sparkle,
patterns & borders, beginning creatures, flux
patterns, Hollibaugh woven looks, Roxi (looks
like beads on a string) and nature motifs. There
are loads of tips and inspiration followed by
prompts which show an outline image that you
then complete as you like. You can apply these
techniques to other crafts as well, such as a
picture frame (shown in this book). Your 40 pg
book and supplies are contained in a snazzy
portfolio/box with tangling on the cover. Any
young art student would appreciate having a
go at this meditative art form, but many adults
would like it as well. The kit makes a lovely gift
since it includes everything needed to create
and comes in an attractive package! By Walter

Drawing - Cartooning
Cartooning For Kids (K-6)
According to author Mike Artell, anyone can
draw great cartoons. The key, he says, is to
think funny because humor is the origin of
cartoons as opposed to art. This book provides
step-by-step instructions on how to draw various cartoon animals and people. Skills such as
how to add personality and movement to your
characters are also covered. ~ Enh

Throughout the journey, the elf teaches simple
drawing techniques. Elf also teaches concepts
such as: panels and how they show movement
and progression; word bubbles showing words,
ideas, and sounds; dotted lines meaning the
characters are inside something, and more. This
is definitely a fun and entertaining way to learn

Whether you’ve already read Adventures in

your foray into comic strips, this activity book
will teach you the elements of comics as you
fill in the missing pieces of an adventure story.
More interactive than the first book, this activity book prompts aspiring cartoonists to finish
strips, while also leaving plenty of room for
artistic license. Use a pencil to complement the
existing grayscale drawings, or color in both
the original illustrations and your own additions
as you go. Blank panels are also included at

☼Adventures in Cartooning: Characters in
Action (2-AD)
If you have a child who is crazy for cartooning, this book is perfect (it’s crazy!). Essentially,
it gives young artists tips and ideas for their
own creations through, well, a really nutty story
about a movie being made in a castle where
most of the characters don’t know they are in
a movie. In the course of this kooky tale, you
learn about drawing body shapes, costume
choices, body language, and facial expressions
all to bring your comic characters to life on
the page. It’s silly and funny and I liked the
roundabout approach to teaching through story
telling. It fits the media after all! Knights, castles,
robots, wizards, witches…elephants, broccoli,

Comic Sketch Book (2-9)
I fell in love with this sketch book the minute
I saw it! It’s the perfect solution for kids who

assistance with the formatting. You get a standard top-spiral sketchbook with 40 heavyweight
pages – plus a few essentials for creating some
impressive comics. If you flip it open, you’ll
see the first few pages are a little different;
there are four pages of cardstock stencils (three
with different-size “panels” for formatting and
one with a variety of speech balloons, thought
bubbles, and a few spiky shapes just waiting
for a “POW!” or a “KABAM!” Just pop out the
stencils, grab your pencils and you’re ready to
bring those sketchbook pages to life with your
own league of superhumans! – Jess

and more! The kits offer all the art supplies
you need to get started (minus paper). As your
artists develop their techniques, you’ll want to
expand their color palettes in paints, pencils,
and perhaps even adding color markers. Each
kit includes an 80-page project book, 3 watercolors, 2 paint brushes, paint palette, drawing

Art of Drawing Manga & Comic Book
Characters (7-AD)
Bang! Ka-Pow! Zoom! Other forms of onomatopoeia! It’s rare to see two different artists
collaborate in order to combine two vastly
different styles within a single title, but Art of
Drawing Manga & Comic Book Characters
manages to hit all the essentials. The first section details essential techniques and tools to
start creating from either genre. The next part
delves into some of the tropes and conventions
of manga, providing a crash course on example
characters, the concept of manga’s use of
embellished expression to convey drama, chibi
or super small characters and has quite a few
hints on the use of Photoshop and other digital
illustration software. The third segment is all
about comic book super heroes, villains and the
crazy situations they manage to get themselves
into. This section includes tips on altering the
anatomy of your characters to reflect a bulkier,
lankier or larger frame, how to make the best of
your panels and even advice on how the pros
arrange their page layouts to give a scene the
sense of action, suspense or even fear. Artists
Bob Berry and Jeannie Lee do a fantastic job of
showcasing a wide variety of character designs
and can explain their methods to comic and
manga construction in a readily approachable
manner. 144 pgs, pb. 12x9 in. ~ Nick

☼Creative Illustration & Beyond (9-AD)
Finding a crafty art book for a teenager can be
tricky. They don’t want something too cutesy
or juvenile, and if they have been a crafter for
a long time, they can be hard to impress! There
is an assumption that you probably have many
arts and crafts supplies around as well. This
book includes tips and techniques to transform
doodles & drawings into actual projects. Your
teen can build a portfolio with their creations
or even start a business selling their products or
artistic services! Some of the projects include
jewelry, family trees, cards and invitations, wall
art, fancy lettering, retro signs & more. It’s a
rather large book, and would make an impressive gift for those hard-to-impress teenage girls.
Yes, girls. The projects have a feminine appeal,
in my opinion. Remember I said this was for
the household with many art supplies. Some
projects will use the following: watercolor &
colored pencils, archival ink pens, kneaded
eraser, watercolor pan, paintbrushes, acrylic
paints, paper, craft knife, liquid frisket and a
light box. If you have all but a couple, you can
add those items later. There is also a project
using a computer, scanner, color printer and a
digital camera. There is a bunch of work to do
in the book itself: loads of space to practice your
patterns and sketches! I found the ideas to be
very original and not for crafting newbies. This
is a beautiful book from Walter Foster (authored
by Stephanie Corfee) for your discerning young
artiste! 144pp, sc. ~ Sara

has just become a lot easier!
I fondly remember making a
more simplistic zoetrope than
this in my middle school years,
but a lack of proper materials,
accurate templates or drawing
skills made it really frustrating.
With this book, all those problems are obsolete!
Simply cut out all the pre-printed cardstock
pieces (An X-Acto knife might be handy for the
smaller cuts), fold on the dotted lines, and glue
where indicated (glue not included). Then, following the simple directions, use your paper
zoetrope to make your own animation strips.
If you’re like me and can’t draw, you can cut
out and assemble the included person and dog
puppets, photograph them in various poses,
then use the images to create your own strips. If
even that seems a little too tricky at first, there
are strips available for a free download at the
author’s website: http://www.robives.com/blog/
extra_animation_strips_zoetrope. There you’ll
find such material to animate a silly bull fight,
a walking robot, and two original photographic
strips made by Eadweard Muybridge (a famous
photographer who studied motion). Additional
zoetrope strips are often available online, but
those will require a little cutting and pasting
to fit properly. The book also briefly explains
a variety of stop motion animation techniques
from simple to those requiring a digital camera.
All in all, this is a really fun project that would
be great for older students or even multiple
ages, with older siblings building the zoetrope
and younger siblings creating some of their own
animations. From Dover, 26 pgs, sc. – Laura

Children’s ART Journal (1-5)
Keeping an art journal isn’t just an activity for
older kids! Younger children can also benefit
from the activity of regular drawing and writing
too. Like the Student’s Guide to Keeping an Art
Journal, this is not an art course, but a guide to
learning how to keep an art journal, with some
art instruction mixed in. The first half of the
book introduces children to an art journal, and
provides simple exercises for them to start building their skills, like drawing a picture of a sunny
day, practicing lettering with colored pencils
and thinking of interesting vocabulary. Drawing
lessons follow, with several lines for the student
to write something that complements their
drawing. The last half of the book is designed
for them to use as an art journal. These pages
feature a blank space for the date, a block
of lines to write on, a vocabulary word with
definition, and a large white space for them to
draw. A small picture of the book’s “mascot,”
Can-Do the dog often appears as well. With the
emphasis on drawing and lettering, you won’t
need much in the way of art materials here, just
a good set of colored pencils (the book recommends Prismacolor) and an extra fine marker
pen. 120 pgs, spiral-bound. – Jess

Nature Drawing & Journaling (3-AD)
If you can train yourself in the habit, keeping a nature journal offers not only the opportunity to continually hone artistic skills, but
also provides ample opportunities to enjoy the
outdoors, develop a deeper appreciation for
nature, enhance penmanship and writing abilities and become a precious keepsake for years
to come. This guide takes students lesson-bylesson through developing their own nature
journal and building the skills they’ll need to
capture examples of nature’s beauty. Created
by Barry Stebbing, author of the How Great
Thou Art courses, these lessons are formatted
similarly with short, easy-to-read lessons and a
related assignment. There are 47 lessons total,
the first segment focusing on assignments that
can be done in the classroom, and later assignments which students will get to head outdoors
to do. Lessons include designing the journal
cover; learning how to appropriately frame
the page; creating various tones in green and
brown, and drawing specific objects or scenes
such as onions, vines or tree trunks, landscapes,
night scenes, farm animals, feathers, insects and
much more. The lessons are illustrated with
a variety of related drawings (both color and
black-and-white) by Barry, some of which serve
as examples to copy, and others to provide
inspiration or examples for students’ own drawing. The last piece of the book provides several
blank journal pages with lines, a space for an
inspiring quote and blank areas for drawing.
You’ll need a few specific supplies to complete
the lessons, including a hardbound journal, a
legal pad, a rubber band, colored pencils, a
drawing pen, a writing pen, glue stick, tape,
washable markers, a #6 watercolor brush (to
use with the markers) and semi-gloss paper.
Especially if you’re not already emphasizing art
in your curriculum, a course in nature journaling can provide your students a rewarding,
creative tie-in to your science, English or even
handwriting program – and get them outdoors
to enjoy that sunshine! – Jess

Stebbing DVD Set (3-AD)
This set of DVDs covers some similar ground
as the book course above, but offers some
distinct differences. The set of DVDs provides
six lessons (each approximately an hour long)
which focus on specific drawing topics while
the book format contains 47 smaller, more specific lessons. Because of the format and structure of the DVD course, it would work well as
a shorter course for use with multiple children
or as a family, and the visual demonstrations
would be helpful for students (and parents!) that
have not had much experience drawing. Each
lesson covers some specifics about what to write
and how to maintain the journal, along with
several drawing assignments that fit a specific
topical theme. In the first lesson, viewers get an
introduction to keeping a nature journal and will
learn what to write, where to draw, and how
to mix colors and draw flowers. Lessons 2-6
are centered around drawing trees, landscapes,
the four seasons (and the color wheel), insects/
butterflies/birds, and “treasures in nature” (pine
cones, acorns, etc.), respectively. Each lesson discusses the writing portion of the jour1134

which Mr. Stebbing demonstrates on-camera.
Recommended supplies include a hardbound,

markers like watercolor, glossy paper for marker
drawing, a small drawing board (optional) and
small drawing pad (optional). – Jess

Painting Instructional - General
☼Paint It: The Art of Acrylics, Oils, Pastels,
and Watercolors (3-9)
Let’s start by saying although the publisher has
assigned an elementary grade level, this beautifully designed book contains terms and techniques that are geared more for your intermediate student to beginner adult. What a valuable
reference tool for any artist, as all four painting
mediums—watercolors, acrylics, pastels, and
oils—and their specific characteristics are covered in ONE book in 45 step-by-step projects.
Each of the four chapters starts with a discussion
of what that paint medium is, the aspects of it,
the tools used with it, techniques and terminology, and then hands-on projects and exercises
to practice that paint medium’s techniques.
Besides learning the basics of painting, important general art lessons are taught along the
way, like examples of various art movements
where you are asked to paint the same object in
three styles—realistic, stylized, and abstract. Art
is dynamic and there is no “one” way to create.
This book will inspire the budding artist to grow
and explore their way to artistic discovery! 144

Painting - Chinese Brush
Chinese Brush Painting (2-AD)
Chinese brush painting and calligraphy are
such a unique and appealing art form, but it is
difficult to find a good introductory book that
is designed for a young person or true beginner. This one is the best I’ve seen yet, written
for children ages 7 and up and recommending
only basic supplies. In fact, the book recommends starting with tempera paint, not ink,
while you learn the basic brushstrokes! The
lessons and exercises emphasize fundamentals,
starting with how to hold the brush properly,
then how to make basic brushstrokes, including
the dragged dot, the bone stroke and the vertical hook. Students apply these strokes to some
calligraphy characters, including numbers and
plant names, “orchid” and “bamboo.” After
getting a handle on the brushstrokes, students
then begin learning how to depict some classic
subjects, including orchids, bamboo, pine trees,
landscapes, insects and birds. Each of these is
broken into parts, so they learn how to paint
orchid leaves, then how to create the blooms.
The book also encourages the student to practice on newsprint, then transition to rice paper
as they become more confident. Material-wise,
it’s pretty easy to get started here; you’ll just
need black tempera paint, newsprint, bamboo
brushes (or watercolor brushes with natural
hair), and a few other household items. If your
student is interested in learning more about this
art form, this is the best resource I’ve seen to
learn the fundamentals in a non-intimidating
way. 64 pgs, hc. – Jess

This kit contains a 32-page project book and
the supplies you need to get started with Chinese
Brush painting. The project book introduces the
materials, explains how to handle the brushes
and provides basic strokes and warm up exercises in the first several pages, before jumping
into more complex paintings. After this point,
each page or spread shows the student how to
recreate a colorful Chinese brush painting such
as a Tiger, a Goldfish, a Bird and Flowers, a
Dragon, elegant Chinese landscapes and more.
Progressive stages of the paintings are shown
with explanations to help students master the
techniques and copy the example painting.
Supplies included are: two Chinese brushes,
an ink stick and stone, watercolor paper, seven
watercolor paints, and a mixing plastic palette.

Ready for some therapeutic, play-based learning? Working clay and dough is a great tactile
experience for little ones to develop fine motor
skills and dexterity and your older students to
develop creative problem solving skills while
building self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment. I love this book by award-winning
author MaryAnn Kohl! A treasured resource
of over 125 recipes and crafting ideas for all
kinds of gooshy, mooshy experiences. From
simple recipes for various textures and modeling qualities of playdough, to scented doughs,
to bread clays, or even safe, edible doughs
that little ones can eat—there’s something to
delight all the senses. There are even recipes
to make clay out of papier-mache or putty out
of toothpaste. Mudworks is full of open-ended,
easy-to-follow recipes and experiences divided
into 6 chapters: Playdough, Bread Dough,
Plaster of Paris, Papier-Mache, Edible Dough
Art, and Modeling Mixtures & More. Each project or recipe has a suggested starting age and
symbols that represent the qualities and uses of
each. Plus, MaryAnn gives you quick tips and
variations throughout. What a well-organized,
comprehensive collection of claying, doughing,
and tactile artistic fun—all in one book! 152

which are found around the house. The projects
are divided into three sections: “Ornaments,

Photography Unit Study (4-AD)
Now you don’t have to be an expert to help
your budding photographer get the most out of
his camera! In her typical thorough and organized style, Kym Wright (author of the Birds,
Botany, and Microscope Adventures units - see
Science section) has provided just the thing.
This course doesn't delve too deeply into the
technical aspects of cameras or film developing, but focuses more on the art of photography. Students will need to have a camera
and be familiar with its basic operation and
features before beginning the unit. They will
also need film, a 3-ring notebook for creating
their coursework book, and a few other materials (all listed right up front for easy planning).
Topics included in the study are: Camera
Types; Camera Parts; Digital Cameras; Lenses;
Film; Composition; Lighting; Point of View
and Angles; Photographing People; Landscape
Pictures; Patterns and Waterfront; Metropolitan
Areas; Action Shots; Photographing Animals;
Special Effects; Displaying Your Pictures; Using
the Skill; Clubs, Organizations, Contests. Each
topic is broken into one or several lessons.
Kym’s Konstruction Kit supplies you with daily
lesson plans for these, but leaves you the flexibility of changing or rearranging as you see fit.
Several of the lessons include direction to read
about a particular topic. For these, Kym has
supplied a book list in the back, but you’ll have
to make a trip to the library and make sure you
have reference books that address these topics
on hand when you need them. 80 pgs, pb.

☼Creative Photography Lab (5-AD)
As a photographer, I know how boring some
photography books can be. This is not one of
those books. It includes 52 projects that explore
a variety of photographic elements through
hands-on exploration. Projects would make for
fun walks around town. Learn about golden hour
by taking the same picture at different times of
the day. Take pictures of the same subject (a
person or an object) in different places. Look for
backlit subjects and learn how to enhance an
image with this technique. Also, to shake it up,
six mixed media projects are included, such as
photo transfers and fabric photo flags.
Most assignments explain how to use any type
of digital camera you have, whether it’s a DSLR,
a point and shoot, or even (most of the time) a
smartphone. (If using a smartphone, consider
buying an app that allows you to manually control the phone’s camera settings, similar to a
DSLR). One assignment requires a film camera,
but even a disposable one will work.
Since there are 52 projects, I think it would be
neat for a student (or the whole family!) to do
one a week. This allows enough time to plan
out ideas, try them, and try again if something
doesn’t work out the way they had hoped. This
hands-on approach will teach your student photography skills and theory that they will use for
years to come. 144 pgs, pb. – Laura

Smartphone Photography Guide (5-AD)
As a photographer, I must admit that I’m a bit of
a camera snob. However I believe two things are
more important than any technical spec a camera
has: 1) the best camera is the one you have with
you; and, 2) everyone starts somewhere. Enter
the smartphone. The amount of technology that
goes into these little cameras is impressive, making them a great, accessible platform for photography beginners. But where do you start?
The Smartphone Photography Guide is an
impressive beginner’s manual for anyone with
a smartphone. The information is laid out in an
easy-to-digest format with lots of photo examples
to get the creative juices flowing. While some of
the information is smart phone specific (how to
use certain settings, editing apps, etc), this book
puts most of the emphasis on the rules of photography and elements of composition, knowledge
that will be used regardless of camera type. If you
have a child who is interested in photography,
but the camera price tag and their ever-changing
interests make you hesitant to buy a camera, or
if you’re just hoping to improve your snapshots
from family vacation, this book is entry way to
a hobby or career path that will be enjoyed for
years to come. 256 pgs, pb. – Laura

This book is divided into 20 weeks or chapters
with 14 pages for each week. Read at your own
pace, or use this as a framework for a photography class. Each week is divided into the following parts: Test Your Knowledge (observe several

photographs and identify which one shows a
particular technique or flaw); Understand The
Theory (detailed diagrams and example photos to help you grasp the concept); Learn the
Skills (explains the necessary camera settings or
equipment); Practice and Experiment (gives you
several different types of photos to try, allowing
for kinesthetic learning); Assess Your Results
(encourages you to review your images and
points out correct and incorrect things to look
for in your own pictures); Enhance Your Images
(goes over basic image editing techniques with
Photoshop, though these elements are, for
the most part, available in any quality editing
software such as Lightroom or Elements); and
Review Your Progress (a short quiz to help you
review the technical information you learned
that “week”). While this book is a little text
heavy and will require a good amount of reading in addition to actual “doing,” the information is very good and is sure to improve your
photography if you are willing to take the time
to work on it. 360 pgs, hc. – Laura

The Beginner’s Photography Guide (7-AD)
Take the scariness out of digital photography
with this intuitive, straightforward guide for the

focus (although it reviews all types of digital
cameras), this step-by-step guide covers all the
features your digital camera offers and demonstrates the “hows,” “whens,” and “whys” to

It even covers extras like basic camera holding
techniques and camera accessories to the final
steps of image enhancement in editing software.
Concepts are divided into seven main chapters: Equipment, Exposure, Focusing, Lenses,
Available Light, Flash, and Image Enhancement.
Throughout the book you’ll find clear step-bystep graphics, large “The Results” photos with
final overviews and camera settings, and precise
explanations and tips, making this guide easy to

Drafting Sketchbooks from Insight Technical
Education (K-AD)
Insight Technical Education
has created a unique
approach to technical art.
Technical art manifests itself
as drafting and computeraided design. The author,
Mel Peterman, has spent
years doing drafting and
CAD work in architecture,
piping and electrical blueprints, and machinery
design. Mel's idea is to give students the foundational work of doing technical drawing manually
so that they may have a better "feel" and "style"
when progressing to CAD programs.
The Complete-A-Sketch books should be
the first books used. Mel's approach is very
much "hands-on" - after a brief explanation
of orthographic projections, isometric projections, and perspectives, it's drawing, drawing,
drawing. But the drawing technique is easy to
follow - easy enough, he even suggests starting
Complete-A-Sketch with 4-6 year-olds! For
each exercise, a small version of the object is
shown, then the large version has all the corners and intersections filled in. The student
connects all of the lines to complete the object.
The objects get more detailed as you go. This
volume “bridges the gap” between CompleteA-Sketch Vol. 3 and Practical Drafting, by
teaching advanced technical sketching and
also introducing drafting concepts and CAD. It
includes 37 sketching projects, eight 3-D paper
models to build and 25 bonus projects. Unlike
the other volumes in the series, this one is on
.pdf format on CD, so you can print pages for
consumption.
Once you have completed the CompleteA-Sketch books, you are ready for Practical
Drafting (recommended for Jr. High and up).
The author asks that the student do each exercise both manually and using CAD software.
To complete the project manually, the student
will need some additional supplies. Of course,
to complete the project on a computer, you
will need some type of CAD program for your
computer.
The last item is more free-form. Practical
Graphic Design deals with page layout and
design techniques for print projects. Points of
discussion include margins, text columns, headers, footers, mastheads, headlines, subheads,
captions, graphic objects and white space.
This program would be a good way to test
the waters to see if your student in interested in
engineering or technical art.

☼Intro 2 Architecture Creativity Set (3-9)
I had an early interest in houses and architecture, and now I still love good design and creative interiors. I would have loved the stencils
in this set, and may have saved some heavy
lifting if I had used them to plan my bedroom
rearranging instead of winging it! Students are
first introduced to several periods in architectural design in a brief & colorful, kid-friendly
booklet (16 pp). Classical, Romanesque, gothic,
renaissance, baroque, Georgian, neoclassical,
beaux arts, Bauhaus, art deco, expressionism,
deconstructivism, structural expressionism and
critical regionalism all have a short blurb and
an illustration of a famous building in that style.
You then look at structural elements and a timeline before you are encouraged to have a go at
an original design. In the kit is a color poster of
all of these famous buildings, great for a quick
reference as you are in design-mode! A set of
6 stencils are guides for your student. They are
made of sturdy, flexible, clear plastic and have
elements like turrets, windows, domes, ornamental doors & ornaments for the outside, plus
interior stuff like furniture, closets and sinks. A
set of 8 colored pencils and a tablet of graph
paper get your kiddos started. They can then
make a large exterior and a large interior on
the poster-sized paper in the kit. Two sheets of
patterned paper have 6 designs of wood-look
floors, tile & fabric textures to add some flair.
While small children would have some trouble
using the stencils, they can still design an interior and exterior in their own style. This would
be a fun addition to any study in history or
architecture, art or design. It has enough guidance to get you started and enough openness to
let you be creative. ~ Sara

Design / Creative Thinking
☼Extraordinaires Design Studio (3-AD)
From the makers of Rory’s Story Cubes comes
this fun and sneaky way to stretch your mind!
These are essentially design challenges, but
they’re not just any design challenges. The
clients you’ll be working for are a bit out there:
Superheroes, Ninjas, Robots, Fairies, Giants,
and other interesting characters are all in need
of your services. Each time you play, select a
client and a project card (or shuffle and pick
randomly for a challenge!) Hmm… how about
inventing a music player for a fairy? From here,
you can start thinking about and sketching your
design. You can do this on your own, or, if you
need help, use a Think card. Think cards are
prompts that help you to ponder certain aspects
of your design. For example, one might read:
“Think about the materials used to make your
design. Are they available in the client’s world?
Or will you need to invent something new?”
Well! This is a good place to start. Fairies
don’t have access to the kinds of components
that would normally be used in a music player.
They’re mostly restricted to materials found in
the woods. Because the clients are so extraordinairy, you as the inventor really have to think
outside the box and put yourself in their place.
Their world is likely a lot different from yours,
after all! To further provide you with information, each client card has extra images on the
back that relate other knowledge about the
character, such as their environment, interests,
and occupation. So the fairy you’re designing
for isn’t just any fairy – she’s a fairy who does
detective work. After you have considered your
client, thought about your design, sketched it
out, and given it a name, present to your family and friends and explain why your creation
would be perfect for your client’s needs. And,
if you’re especially proud of your project, post
it online to the extraordinaire website! Aside
from just being a lot of fun, these sets involve
some serious creativity as well as practicality to
think of truly great designs. In addition, many
skills are used – critical thinking, problem solving, communication, empathy, presentation,
clarity, and art to name a few. Whew, what a
mental workout! Sets can be used alone, with
a fellow brainstormer, or as a group activity/
game. Please note: there are some fantasy-based
clients including vampires, evil geniuses, and
wizards. 1CHOKING HAZARD (1). Not <3yrs.

☼The School of Art (2-5)
Let’s get ready for art school! This art book
covers the elements of art and design principles
in a playful, unique way that are presented
throughout by 5 charming, caricatured professors with distinct personalities: the Professors
of Ideas, Form, Senses, Making and the Planet.
You feel like you’re actually attending a design
school, with the book divided into 4 sections:
1) “Welcome to the School of Art” where you
have orientation and meet the 5 professors; 2)
“Term 1” covering the elements we need to
make art and the first 17 lessons; 3) “Term 2”
covering the design principles that help us make
art and lessons 18-33; 4) “Term 3” bringing it
all together to see what you can do with your
newfound skills in lessons 34-40. And what
school would be complete without the “Final
Exhibition” at the end? Each lesson has a quick,
simple activity to engage your mind and get you
thinking like an artist. This book is fun, clever
and educational, while presenting complex
concepts with bright illustrations and scenarios
that will have you wanting to read from start to
finish in one setting. A valuable resource and
great introduction to the world of art & design!

☼GO: Kidd’s Guide to Graphic Design (5-AD)
POW! My eyes and mind
popped when I opened this
book! What an excellent
introduction and overview
of the wonderful world of
design, presented in a beautiful, hip layout with a rhythm
that’s easy to follow. Even
though this is geared toward
younger students, adults will enjoy the read
too! What is design? It’s all around you. As the
author says, everything not made by nature is
designed by someone. Author, Chip Kidd (a
working designer for nearly 30 years and is
responsible for over 1,000 book cover designs)
answers that question and more in a thoughtprovoking style with his use of colorful visuals, playful type, and real industry examples.
Chip gives a brief graphic-design history lesson
and then explores the core elements of design
including layout, typography, color theory,
scale, focus, symmetry, content and more in
the first 4 chapters. In chapter 5, the reader is
presented with 10 interesting design projects
that allow exploration and fleshing out of design
concepts with their own creations and hands.
For anyone who’s a visual learner, this dynamic
book is a treat! It brought me back to my design
school days. 150 pgs, 8.5” x 11” hc. ~Emily

If you are anything like me, the idea of finding
easy and fun arts and crafts projects and doing
them with your children sounds like a fantastic
idea, but finding the time to sit down and do
them seems difficult! Rifling through books
or searching through Pinterest and collecting

so excited when I saw this book. Not only does
it include tons of ideas, but projects are specifically geared to develop a child’s fine motor
skills while utilizing common household and or
easily obtainable materials. The book is divided
into nine chapters, including Play Dough,

a helpful, practical guide on setting up creative
spaces in the home for must-have supplies
(even items from around the house) and useful
resources. The book showcases a wide range
of 60 beautiful activities that are easy for all to
accomplish and covers a diverse selection of art
media and techniques. Her laidback “process
over product” approach in artmaking with kids
makes this book and activities so much fun. Plus
she simplifies the approach and understands
from a practical standpoint that scheduling art
into a busy day can be a challenge. The text is
clean and simple to read and the book is filled
with gorgeous photos showing children creating
the activities. What a soothing read for any parent. Just add a cup of tea! 320 pgs, 7” x 8.5”

photos are taken from different angles, including
close ups, and the final project is always shown.
Make such projects as a play oven, a cardboard

vehicles, and a grocery market stand. Note:
often directions don’t specify size; they leave

☼Bumper Book of Crafty Activities (3-7)
Children around ages 8-12 can do some pretty
cool arts and crafts. It’s a fun way to expand on
a lesson or just make something for fun. Another
perk of this age group is that they can assemble
supplies, read directions, and even clean up
after themselves. This book has 100 projects
with clear, step by step instruction using inexpensive materials. I loved that these are learning
crafts! Lesson on ancient Egypt? Make Egyptian
dominoes! Learning about elephants? There’s a
project for that! Loads of diverse ideas including
an African mask from craft foam & card stock,
a primitive clay picture (like a cave painting)
using a pipe cleaner, a folded paper bookmark
that resembles an obi (the sash to a kimono) and
painting rocks to use as paperweights (which are
just cute in a garden!) I loved the astronaut marionette made from Styrofoam balls. So cute and
original, plus you get to play with it afterwards.
Color photos accompany the instruction and
features kids with their creations. Perfect for a
classroom teacher or a homeschool parent – or
any parent with crafty children! Basic supplies
needed include stamp pads, craft foam sheets,
construction paper, paints and brushes as well
as gathered items like sticks, tp rolls, and plastic
bottles. 318 pgs, pb. ~ Sara

☼Craft Camp: Over 40 Fun Projects for Kids (1-7)
Moms, this is a good one to have in the arsenal! Craft Camp sounds like a summer of fun,
just like the creative projects inside, but this
goes beyond that. Rain, snow or shine, this
book will not only bring hours of bonding fun
to the whole family, but give you helpful, repurposed items everyone can use around the
house. Make pencil organizers out of tin cans,
decorative bowls out of fabric remnants, elegant
stained glass sun catchers out of old crayons,
or storage baskets out of worn out jeans. Ready
to get started, campers? Me too! Projects have
easy-to-follow instructions, use mostly common household items, and are divided into four
badge levels—badge 1 being the easiest up to
badge 4 being the most difficult and needing
adult supervision. Helpful indeed, this book
contains a small list of less common materials,
explains what they are and where to find them.

☼Zolocolor! (PK-AD)
Your artsy child may not be ready to give up
his/her coloring books, but they don’t want
something too juvenile either. Inspire their love
of color and design with pattern pages that are
modern, graphic and bold with a bit of a quirky
touch. They remind me of funky designer fabrics
or even pop-art/graffiti looks. I recently bought
a set of Prismacolor markers and would love to
mix some curious colors combinations within
these patterns! The designs are only on the
front of each page and I like the bolder black
outlines; you don’t need a super fine point with
most of these. The pages are not perforated, but
I can overlook that because the designs are so
very funky and abstract! You could certainly
give these to small children as a coloring book,
but encourage your middle/high schoolers to
play around with the color wheel. Do a page
in all cool or all warm colors to see which you
prefer. You may have a future designer in the
house! Use your colored pencils, chalks, paint,
pens, markers or crayons. 8.5” x 11” 47pgs. ~

to you to follow the technique guide provided
to see how well you can replicate the included
color pictures. Sets contain four 8” x 10” drawing boards, four color pictures, twelve color
pencils, six compressed color sticks, one pencil
sharpener, and a drawing guide.

Color pencils can be an intimidating medium
to approach. These kits offer an inexpensive
way to practice with them and learn mixing
techniques while creating pleasing images that
will bolster your confidence. Exactly like a paint
by number kit, just fill in the numbered areas
with the corresponding color pencil number. In
areas with two numbers, use both color pencils
and layer. Standard sets contain one 8.75” x
11.5” preprinted board, one numbered overlay,
ten color pencils, and one pencil sharpener.
Mini sets contain one 5” x 7” preprinted board,
one numbered overlay, ten tiny colored pencils,
and a pencil sharpener. Art Activity Sets contain
four 8” x 10” preprinted boards, four overlays,
ten color pencils, and a pencil sharpener. Sets
have an age suggestion of 8+, but note that
there are small areas and artists will need to
reference the overlay. The finished products are

☼Pocket Posh Coloring Books (9-AD)
Oh my! These are the cutest little coloring
books for adults/teens I have ever seen! First
of all, they are compact at 4x6” with rounded
corners. The covers are inspiring & sophisticated
made from a shiny, heavy cardstock. Inside, the
designs are the kind I like - patterns! I like to
imagine I am designing fabric or some such creation as I color, choosing a palette to work from.
Designs are on both sides of a page, so use your
colored pencils or non-bleeding markers. Keep
a set of pencils and one of these in your purse
for times when you are waiting on the kids and
just need a moment to relax and NOT think! An
attached elastic band keeps the cover closed for
you. You will want to give one to everyone on
your list: mother-in-law, sister, piano teacher,
co-workers, etc.

Doodle Monster’s Sticker Doodles (K-AD)
Combining the joy of doodling with the fun of
stickers, these colorful Priddy books hold great
appeal for children of all ages. Every page is one
of a kind as real life backgrounds and objects
are combined with the authors’ own doodles,
bright shapes, and fun text that entice you to
add stickers and your own doodles to complete unique creations. You might find yourself
turning realistic vegetables into wacky people,
designing scarves for giraffes, turning colorful
blobs into monsters, or using garbage to make
something cool. Even the top of the book is distinctive, with a built-in handle for easy toting.
An exceptional doodling experience that every
doodle fan will enjoy! ~ Steph

flowing. Filled with 100+ creative drawing
prompts, kids are asked to complete a simple
illustration with prompts such as “set the table,”
“make a traffic jam,” or “who’s in the park.”
The doodle “starters” are simplistic in nature but
certainly do a great job of encouraging kids to
doodle to their hearts’ desire. - Enh

☼Do Art You Can Doodle (2-5)
Children can get frustrated when they struggle
to color within the lines of a coloring book.
They end up thinking they can’t do art, poor kiddos! Doodling offers another route for young artists. Coloring & drawing freestyle! This set from
Faber-Castell (known for art supplies) includes
a spiral-bound sketchbook with some drawing
prompts that you will finish (24 pgs, perforated),
5 double-ended markers (10 colors), 5 blue
foam displays for your creations, 3 full size
markers in red/black/blue, a plastic stencil sheet
with some free-form type shapes to use in your
doodles, and a 10 pg. instruction guide with lots
of fun ideas. The materials come in a boxed set
(10x10x1.5”), so it makes a great gift item for a
boy or girl. ~ Sara

☼Drawing Journals (4-8)
Part journal, part scrapbook, part sketchbook and a
thoughtful gift for the tween/
teen with a lot on their
minds! The spiral binding
makes it lie flat, which is
a lovely feature. Each page
has something interesting on
it, like a prompt. Sometimes
you draw; other pages have you write a bit, but
there is always something there to work with.
This book is as appealing for a boy as for a
girl. The images have a sepia quality, so it isn’t
too cutesy. Here are some examples of your
tasks (should you choose to accept!): Make a
drawing using only letters. Invent an electronic
device. Draw this dog…upside down…with
your eyes closed…without lifting you pencil.
Other pages have no directions. Like a blank
family tree, empty jars to fill and an ant farm to
design. I loved the variety of prompts so much
that I was thinking about what I would draw to
finish the roller coaster, make some graffiti or
draw clothes on animals! If you have a reluctant
writer, do a page as a non-threatening warm-up
activity. Each prompt is only 1-2 pgs. Of course
your artsy kids will have fun, but since it is a
private thing, like a diary of sorts, those who
do not fancy themselves an artist can let loose
and have fun being creative. Once the book is
complete, you have a keepsake – a snapshot of
how your child was thinking at that time in their
life. The size makes it easy to stash or take with
you. 8” x 9” 160 pp, pb. ~ Sara

people of different occupations, transportation,

Ed Emberley's Complete FunPrint Drawing (PK-3)
This book combines the delightful projects
of Ed Emberley's Great Thumbprint Drawing
Book and Fingerprint Drawing Book all in one.
Although the content of the book is literally
the same as those found in its components, the
compilation does not provide the introductory
advice/suggestion pages as the individual books
do. Instead, the book quickly jumps into the
projects themselves. Don't let this deter you
from considering this book though. Although
the advice pages are helpful, fingerprint art is
simple enough to pick up on your own. Follow
the step by step instructions to make various
animals, people, objects, etc or experiment with
your own fingerprint drawings. ~ Enh

☼Usborne Fingerprint Activities (1-5)
This is a fun little book that is a self-contained
gift for someone special. It includes a hardcover, but spiral-bound book with 60 pages of
fun activity pages to complete. Attached to the
extended back cover is a large inkpad (about 2”
x 7”) with 7 bright rainbow colors and a lid. The
idea is that your child adds their fingerprints to
the illustrated pages. When the ink dries, you
can draw on your fingerprint and make a little
character. Since each of the colors on the inkpad touch each other, you can even get some
fun color blends going! If you want to switch
colors, just wipe off your finger with a wet
wipe or paper towel and keep printing away!
When you are all done, wash hands with soap
& water. With the spiral binding, the pages lie
nice and flat as you are working on your masterpiece. Something like this would be a great
sibling gift or for someone with a new baby. 10”
x 8.5” overall, book is 7” x 8.5” ~ Sara

Personalize the scenes in this darling pad by
adding your own thumbprint! A pink & brown
inkpad is included. 30 ready-to-complete pictures (8x7”) are made to be given away to
friends & family. On the back of each creation
is a charming label for the artist to autograph.
Each cleverly done page requires the artiste to
stamp their thumbprint onto the scene and make
it into a character as part of the design. Across
the top of each page is a snippet that is interesting and informative. The back of the page gives
ideas for those who may need some prompting;
designs are not gender-geared, but rather just
fun and inviting for any child. Includes: 2 each
of 15 designs (such as photo booth, picnic,
passport, family tree, etc.) 2 sticker sheets &

☼Mess-Free Glitter Kits (K-3)
With four little girls, craft projects in our home
almost always involved glitter. I’m pretty sure
that our parents vacuumed up a LOT of glitter.
And wiped up lots of glue. Fast-forward to today
and there is an alternative! Mess-Free Glitter
kits work a lot like foiling kits. You simply
expose the adhesive surface of the craft to be
“bedazzled” and press on a square of shiny glitter paper. Give the paper a rub, pressing it onto
the craft, then peel off the paper and check out
the colorful, glittery patch that you just created!
There’s no glue, no loose glitter, and the glittery
finish doesn’t even come off on your hands as
you handle it. Plus, the results are every bit as
sparkling as if you’d doused your craft in glue
and rolled it in glitter. – Jess

☼Introduction to Origami - Animals (K-5)
This little set was a big hit on one of our test
out new craft kits with the grandkids at Rainbow
nights! West, a 6 year old boy, wanted to make
all of the animals, not just a couple as we asked
him to. So of course we said, “You go right
ahead kiddo!” He wrote his name on them and
gave several away to his sisters and some of us
here in the office. Isn’t that sweet? The 8” square
papers are printed in such a way that an animal
face appears when you fold it correctly. There
are 4 papers each of 6 different designs; 2 have
the face printed on the paper and the other 2
have a blank face that you add the included
stickers to! The animals are quirky and not all
that realistic looking, but very fun (fox, dog,
deer, boar, cow, cat.) Pictorial directions are
included and quite easy to follow. The folds are
simple to do and the larger paper helps with
that. There is a lot of following directions &
careful folding involved in origami and this set

Every card is different and the designs are gender neutral. Each boxed set includes 20 cards to
color, envelopes, 5 double-sided activity sheets

Easy Christmas Origami (4-AD)
Looking for a creative way to decorate your
Christmas tree? Try your hand at making a
collection of origami ornaments. Thirty festive origami projects include snowmen, Santa,
Christmas trees, candy canes, stockings, stars,
and gift boxes (just to name a few). The steps
are diagramed with black-and-white illustrations
in an easy-to-follow manner. Simple directions
are also given when necessary. These projects
are ideal for children, but equally appropriate
for beginning paper folders. At our Christmas
party this year we had a blast making the snowman. Trust me – if we can do it, you can,
too! In no time at all you’ll be trimming your
Christmas tree! 48 pgs, pb. – elise

Origami Paper Animals (4-AD)
These designs are so beautiful! I love looking at the pictures even if I never make any of
them! Your origami enthusiasts will love these
28 realistic, humorous and even poetic paper
animals. Beginners and beyond can carefully
follow the step by step instructions with photos
and illustrations by Didier Boursin. Each design
is so detailed and expressive. Designs are
marked according to difficulty. A bone folder
would be a useful tool for these projects and of
course some printed origami papers will make
your animals come to life. The author recommends starting with larger paper and working
down to the small papers. Look for paper with
a weight between 20-24 lb bond weight. You
will also need scissors for a few of the critters.
Beginner animals include: a fish, owl, elephant.
Intermediate designs include: a panther, horse,
and dog. Advanced designs include: a heron,
eagle, and crab. Make them as gifts, table decorations, or as part of a geography lesson about
animals from a certain region. 64pp, pb. ~ Sara

Twirled Paper (3-10)
Once again, Klutz has come out with a truly
exceptional arts and crafts kit. Paper twirling,
also known as paper filigree or paper quilling,
is a lesser known paper craft that has been
around for over 500 years (I have to admit, I had
never heard of paper twirling before, but the
simplicity of the craft and the amazing results
you get makes me wonder why a product like
this wasn't available earlier). You simply curl
strips of paper with the twirling wand and glue
them to make assorted objects. Included in
the Twirled Paper kit are: a book with project
suggestions, well over 100 multi-colored paper
strips (24" x 1/8"), a twirling wand, pin board,
toothpicks, glue, and wiggle eyes. A handy storage box is also included.
The huge variety of objects, all aesthetically
pleasing, you can make from simple paper coils
is absolutely amazing. Although the book provides many creative ideas such as assorted bug/
insect pencil toppers, caterpillars, birds, fish,
flowers, letters of the alphabet, etc.; don't limit
yourself to these. Once you master the many
basic shapes introduced (teardrop, wing, eye,
slug, gumdrop, tulip, moon, arrow, duck foot,
triangle, square, diamond, and rectangle), the
possibilities are limited only by your imagination. ~ Enh

Painting with these kits is

Aside from just creating lovely
pictures, these sets are a great
way to increase your painting
confidence and experiment with
various techniques. These sets
are inexpensive and contain no extra “fluff”.
Although the title says “Jr.”, paint areas are small
and there is a lot of mixing of paints involved,
so keep that in mind with children on the lower
end of the age range. Paint pots in the Small,
Mini, and Large kits are numbered on the packaging only; so keep it handy for reference! Small
kits contain one 8.5” x 11.25” pre-printed canvas board, one practice sheet, one paintbrush,
and seven acrylic paint pots. Large Kits contain
one 15.25” x 11.25” pre-printed canvas, one

PaintWorks Paint-by-Number Sets (3-AD)
Paint-by-numbers aren’t just the next step
beyond a coloring book. They can be skillbuilding projects for beginner painters learning
how to mix and layer colors and shades to create
a dynamic picture. These inexpensive kits each
contain a sturdy printed board (with outlines
and numbers in gray), a fine detail paintbrush,
and paint pots. Beginner Kits include 8” x 10”
boards and six paint pots, while Intermediate
Kits include a 9” x 12” board and eight paint
pots. Even at the beginner level of these kits, the
pictures are fairly detailed in nature and require
a stable hand. Also, don’t let the small size of
the paint pots fool you - the paints are of good
quality and go a long way. - Enh

My First Paint With Water Books (PK-1)
Budding artists can “paint”
their very own masterpieces with the help of these
colorful pads. Each pad
contains 24 large, easy-topaint cartoon scenes and a
paintbrush that stores conveniently inside the front
cover. The scenes are illustrated with color pigmented
patterns that blend into a single paint color
when wet. Just dip the brush in water, blot
away the excess, and brush upon a patterned
area. After a couple of minutes, the colors will
blend into a fun shade! The Blue book is geared
towards boys with themes such as pirates, dinosaurs, and space, while the Pink book holds
pastel scenes of dancers, horses, princesses,
etc. ~ Lisa

MY FIRST SEWING BOOKS (K-8)
Author Winky Cherry believes that children
should learn to sew by hand before they learn
to use a sewing machine. Hand sewing skills
develop finger dexterity, and teach the value of
patience and practice. This series gently leads
children through their first sewing experiences.

020199 My First Sewing Book & Kit
When we first reviewed this product, Melissa
& Stephanie (then age 10) had so much fun
sewing the first project (ducks) that during
the next three days they made Humphrey
Whale, Squirrel Nutkin, Ali Alligator, and
nine more stuffed animals. Only the need
to use the kitchen table for something other
than sewing kept them from completing the
whole zoo. Patterns for these animals are
placed over two pieces of felt, and the felt
is cut. Children then make dots 1/8” apart
and 1/8” along the edge of felt. Needle and
thread are drawn through each hole until
sewing is 90% complete. Add stuffing, finish sewing the remaining length, and they
have a new stuffed animal. Instructions are
simple enough for very young children to
follow and in rhyme for easy memorization. Includes book, two precut felt shapes,
3 yards each of 4 colors of crochet thread,
and 43 patterns for additional projects.
020201 My First Doll Book
Making a doll is a way for a child to make
a friend! Using the hand-sewing skills
learned in My First Sewing Book and My
First Embroidery Book, children make a felt
doll version of themselves, PLUS they learn
to make simple clothes. They can go on to
make all kinds of dolls, with different faces,
hair and clothing. Kit includes two cut-out
dolls (two different skin tones) plus crochet
thread, and yarn for hair.
020202 My First Sewing Machine Book
With a clear understanding of the concepts
of sewing, and the skills developed through
hand sewing and embroidery, children are
now introduced to the sewing machine on
an elementary level. Pictures are substituted for words to help children who are just
learning to read. Rhymes and silly names
for machine parts help children remember
information and rules. Children learn about
seam allowances, tapering, snips, clips,
stitching inside and turning the shape outside. Kit includes Sewing Practice Sheets
and fabric for two stars.
001354 My First Quilt Book
Using one or four patch blocks, children
learn to use a quilt plan, use a template to
draw and cut the shapes, and with the skills
learned in My First Sewing Book, stitch a
pieced quilt with sashing strips and blocks.
The quilt is finished by attaching the back
with the pillow-making process. The three
pieces of the quilt are fastened using yarn
ties so that the quilt can be “in use” while
quilting each square. Kit includes a poster
board template, quilt plans to color, and

028765 ☼My First Machine Patchwork (2-4)
Learn the basics of making patchwork
blocks! This kit comes with a book, patterns
and template. The directions will show you
how to measure, iron, and cut fabric into
squares which will be sewn into blocks.
Blocks can then be made into a pillow or
flag, or you can save them for use with the
My First Quilt Book from this same series
(not included). For extra practice, the book
also introduces information about appliques as well as patterns and directions for
assembling blocks in the style of the nautical International Code Flag alphabet. A fun,
simple introduction to patchwork blankets.
40 pages.
052182 My First Embroidery Book (2-4)
Children learn to think of embroidery as art
as they cross-stitch their name onto gingham
using charts and guides. Basic techniques
are used to teach kids to make letters, borders and hearts, while they learn important
lessons in safety, sharing, decision-making, patience and confidence. Kit includes
thread, hoop and fabrics. 44 pgs. ~ Sara
☼Sewing School 2 (2-8)
Sewing by hand and sewing by machine are
as different as riding a bicycle and riding in a
car! Sewing machines can seem complicated
and intimidating to young crafters, but a good
foundation in learning how to use one will open
up a whole new world in terms of the speed
and size of the projects they can tackle. In the
same fun, graphical style as Sewing School,
this one teaches young crafters how to use a
sewing machine, how to choose a good one,
using other sewing tools, safety rules for using a
sewing machine, how to use a pattern, how to
understand fabrics and more. Lessons provide
lots of full-color photos and child-friendly text.
There are three warm-up projects followed by
20 projects grouped by theme: room décor, onthe-go, playtime, and the outdoors. Each project
has a difficulty level (1-3 stars), a materials list, a
list of review topics if needed, notes for grownups, and step-by-step instructions with photos
for every step. Some of the projects include a
cookie coin purse, an art supply pouch, a water
bottle holder, a cushion with a strap, a simple
backpack, a plush guitar and more (patterns are
included at the end of the book). I appreciate
that the projects are actually do-able for kids,
and the examples in the photos are actually
made by kids, not by Pinterest-level crafters. If
you’re not a sewing pro yourself, this is a great
resource for teaching your children (and maybe
even yourself!) how to use a sewing machine.

Sewing School: 21 Projects Kids Will Love (K-3)
Know where your needle is at all times! Be
safe and take your time! Remember that nothing
has to be perfect! These are the authors’ rules
for children learning to sew for the first time.
Color photos and clear directions make this one
user-friendly book and a good choice for visual
learners. Starting at age 5, you can teach your
children to make basic stitches used in several
simple project ideas. First they make a basic
sewing kit and practice stitches, then they get
to make a pin cushion and original stuffed toy.
Later they can make a skirt, modify a t-shirt,
even repair old clothes and toys. This book
seems easier to use than some of our others that
have more elaborate directions or projects. Age
appropriate for little kids and non-sewing mothers. It may not be pretty at first, but it will be
original and hopefully encourage future sewing Best of Sewing Machine Fun for Kids (2-6)

Kid’s Guide to Sewing (6-12)
Give a child a sewing kit, and they’ll sew
for a day; guide them through this book, and
they’ll sew for a lifetime! Written by 11-yearold Sophie (with help from her parents!), A
Kid’s Guide to Sewing teaches machine basics
and sewing techniques that your child will use
almost every time they sew, such as applique,
zippers, quilting, and much more. It gives tips
for working with a wide variety of sewing materials and notions, giving your aspiring tailor or
seamstress a foundation to build on. If they run
into a problem, the book gives practical advice
to work around it or how to remedy the problem, depending on the issue. Flexible projects
teach you how to make things bigger or smaller
depending on the need, instead of (literally) the
one-size-fits-all approach. I was very impressed
but this book and loved the colorful photos, fun
projects, and practical learning. Your child will
surely enjoy making the blanket, bag, keychain,

☼Make-Your-Own Tiny Town Buddies (3-AD)
A simplified version of Sew Cute Minis, these
kits include pre-printed animal pieces with faces
and outfits. Because of this, I think children as
young as 4 or 5 could make these with a little
supervision, especially if that child has good
lacing skills. Storage tins are printed to look like
tiny houses on the outside with rooms on the
inside. Stickers are also included. I could see
this being a great pre-trip gift. Children could
sew it in the car, then when they reach their
destination, they could use it as their own Flat
Stanley or Traveling Teddy and take pictures of
their friend at different tourist stops. How fun!

the machine goes pretty fast and would probably not be good for a child who has never used
a machine before. Adult supervision is certainly
a good idea. I tried to see if I could stick my
finger in by the needle, and you really can’t.
It’s a safe design. Younger children could sew
the designs by hand. With all of the instruction
planning designs, using patterns, cutting fabrics,
and sewing garments, you can then create original designs! The size of the mannequins match

Follow the simple directions in the 48 page, full
color book to transfer a design onto one of the
10 squares of fabric, fit it in the pocket-sized
plastic embroidery hoop, then stitch your design
with the two needles and 8 colors of embroidery
floss. When you’re done, snap it into one of the
three reusable plastic frames, then hang it on the
ball-chain necklace. It was a little tricky to trim
the fabric after it was in the frame, so a pair of
very sharp, very tiny scissors (like nail scissors)
would be helpful to have, and the hoops could
easily be super-glued together if you wanted to
make your design permanent. Sure to be a hit
with your crafty teen, and the multiple hoops
mean they could be shared between siblings!

Weaving / Potholder Kits
Craft Weaving Loom (1+)
When Mark received a loom with colorful
loops for his birthday years ago, he was thrilled,
and our potholder population quadrupled overnight. He loved to weave them, and came up
with several ideas: rainbow pads, three-color
pads, patterns, or just picking a loop at random
and weaving it in. This inexpensive kit includes
a plastic loom, a metal weaving hook, and
a pile of bright cotton loops. Instructions are
found on the back of the box. Refill 16-oz. bags
of mixed-color loops is also available. You can
create hot pads, pot holders, a mini-rug, and
coasters to give as gifts or use around the house.
The finished product looks wonderful, but making the crafts are surprisingly easy. At age 8,
Mark easily picked up the weaving concept right
away with no trouble.

Making potholders
is a great introduction to weaving and
a fun, relaxing, and

The results are practical, which we love!
Both of these kits are
designed to last many
potholders, with sturdy metal looms and
metal weaving hooks. The metal loom pegs
slant outward to prevent loops from slipping off,
which is especially helpful for young kids! The
colorful loops included with each kit are 100%
cotton and custom-sized to fit the loom, which
is often not the case in less expensive kits. The
instructions offer instructions on starting and finishing potholders, along with design ideas and
suggestions for additional projects. The traditional kit includes enough cotton loops to make
two potholders, while the deluxe kit includes
enough cotton loops to make six potholders.
Refills are available, with enough cotton loops
to make two more potholders. Lotta Loops refill
has enough to make eight. Black and white
refill packs are available, as these colors aren't
included in the original refill or Lotta Loops.

PegLoom (K+)
More challenging than weaving potholders,
and less difficult than using other weaving tools,
the PegLoom is a great way for young students
and very beginners to learn how to weave. The
PegLoom is a 7" x 10" sturdy wooden frame,
with slanted pegs attached on both sides so the
weaving won't fall off. Children draw the wool
yarn through the loom with a sturdy plastic
needle, building fine motor skills and enjoyment
in the fact that they are creating projects of their
own. The size of the loom allows such projects
as wall hangings, purses, coasters, blankets and
rugs for dolls, and whatever else they can dream
up. The set includes the PegLoom, cotton
warp string, 100% wool yarns in red, purple,
green and gold, plastic needle, and illustrated
instructions. Winner of an Oppenheim Best

Potholder Pro (1-AD)
Crafters had been asking for years for a larger
potholder loom and Harrisville Designs listened,
creating a 10 ½” x 10 ½” loom that makes 8 ½”
square potholders – a good 3” larger than the
little potholders from a traditional potholder
loom. So if you’re always using two little potholders for your family’s large casserole dishes
and cookie sheets, or if your potholder-weaving
children are looking for a bigger challenge, the
Pro is your answer. The kit includes the sturdy
metal 10 ½” square loom, two hooks, enough
custom-sized loops to create two large potholders and illustrated instructions. Pro loop refills
are also available in multi or single colors that
will create two additional potholders.

Lap Looms (2-AD)
Lap Looms are constructed of hardwood, and
they are portable enough to take anywhere.
Each loom kit contains a Lap Loom, 1 oz. of
cotton warp string, 100% wool yarn, a tapestry
needle, two shed sticks, a shuttle (one shuttle
comes with Size A loom, and two shuttles
come with Size B), and illustrated instructions.
The instructions show the basics of weaving
and explain how to weave and create pillows,
purses, small rugs, wall hangings, tote bags and
much more. A different color scheme of yarn
comes with each loom - the “Fiesta” design with
the Size A loom incorporates colors like purple,
green, gold, orange and red, while the “Sierra”
design that comes with Size B features black,
white and red. Portable, hands-on, and plenty
of room for creativity!
We also offer several additional Lap Loom
products. If your children really get into weaving, check out the Wonder Wand. This handy
wooden tool makes weaving easier and faster
by speeding up the shed-making process. It’s
great for younger children too! Instructions are
included. If you want another set of the same
materials that came with your Lap Loom or want
to try another design, we also offer refill sets.
Each set will work with either size Lap Loom,
and includes enough wool yarn for the project,
cotton warp yarn, and illustrated instructions.
We also offer 13” shed sticks individually in
case you need a replacement.

mouse to make a hedgehog). Step-by-step, fullcolor illustrated instructions are provided for
each project along with “finishing touches” to
help troubleshoot any unfinished areas. You get
enough wool to create all of the projects, plus
a special 3-pronged felting needle and a foam

to create their own project. – Jess

Other Fabric Crafts
Canvas Hand Puppet (PK-3)
These puppets are blank canvases waiting for
a puppet-master! I admit that at first I was not
impressed (they look like canvas drop cloths)
but the more I played with them, the more
potential I could see! Truly blank canvases for
creativity, here are some of my ideas: Bible
story puppets, sewing practice, kid-created
stories, tie-dye, act out classic literature, family
member puppets, teaching manners and good
character, practice your French lessons with a
French puppet, have the puppet teach a math
lesson...well, you get the idea! These have very
simple shapes. The hand puppet basically looks
like an oven mitt only the thumb side is the
same size as the finger side. There are no arms
to wiggle, just a mouth/head to make talk. The
people puppets have arms to wiggle with pinkie
and thumb, and a basic head to move with your
middle three fingers. Each package contains 6
blank puppets, ready for you to transform with
glue, felt, paint, markers, buttons, scissors, or a
needle-and-thread. The Hand puppets measure
9.5” x 5.25”, while People puppets measure

☼3D Plush Craft (K-6)
Plush Craft has entered a new dimension –

will love creating these fuzzy figures. Each kit
comes with the stylus, plastic eyes and nose, felt
ears and tail, and all the fabric pieces you need,
but instead of pressing the fabric squares into
a pillow, you press them into a plastic-coated
Styrofoam figure. Instead of each spot having
a number like the pillows, the figures have a
textured zone with a corresponding number
indicated in the instructions. This a good next
step for a child who has done one of the pillows
or for a child who is a little bit older. Each figure
is 5” tall and comes with a collar and charm for
the finished critter. Make a purple bunny with
pink feet, a pink kitten with teal stripes, or a
black and brown spotted puppy.

Tie Dye Kits (3-AD)
What’s one of the quickest ways to totally
transform a boring white t-shirt? Tie dye! True,
it’s a little messy, but it’s endlessly fascinating
to kids (and even adults) to unwrap that newly
dyed shirt and check out the colorful results! If
you’ve never tried tie dye, these inexpensive
kits make it easy, fun, and there’s enough dye
to transform multiple shirts. There are three different kits to choose from: Funky Groovy, Camo
and Indigo. Funky Groovy produces traditional
brightly colored tie dye (with magenta, yellow
and turquoise dye) and dyes up to 5 shirts.
Camo produces a unique pattern of olive green,
bronze, and black and dyes up to 4 shirts. My
personal favorite, Indigo, produces a gorgeous
blue dye and dyes up to 15 shirts (no, that’s not
a misprint!). We’ve tested the indigo kit in the
office and at a baby shower (one kit can dye a
lot of onesies!) and we were all impressed at the
simple process and gorgeous results. Camo and
Funky Groovy kits can dye cotton, linen, rayon
and hemp. Indigo can be used on any natural
fiber. All kits include dye, one pair of gloves,
rubber bands, and instructions with folding suggestions for dyeing inspiration.

☼Stamp’d Textile Design Kit (3-AD)
Fabric crafts are a fun way for students to
design and wear their own art. This set would
make a great gift for that artsy tween/teen
because it includes everything but the clothing
and an iron! Ok, you might want colored pencils
to plan out your design, cardboard to keep your
fabric taut and brown paper when it’s time to
iron. Inside you’ll find 10 colored stamp pads
(1.25” square); a dark fabric marker; 10 foam
geometric shaped stampers; 6 pages of cardstock
stencils; and an inspiring idea book with room
to plan your designs. Stencils shapes include:
butterflies, peace signs, bows, hearts, fruit, stars,
argyles, cupcake, doughnut, candies, numbers,
locks & keys, even chains so you can design a
necklace on a tee! Photo instructions are clear
and simple to follow. Once you are done stamping, heat set your design with an iron and it will
be hand-washable. The design book gives you so
many ideas on creating patterns with the stamps
and stencils, even classic patterns like chevron
and hound’s-tooth! Use the marker to outline
your designs or add details. Experiment with
overlapping colors and how the colors change
with the background fabric. I loved how the kids
are encouraged to plan out their creations rather
than just go for it. I think that element takes this
from craft to fabric design. ~ Sara

☼Design & Dye w/No Heat Batik (3-AD)
Young designers can experiment with an
ancient technique without the danger of hot
wax. Using fabric swatches & a bottle of doodling gel, you can create original designs &
patterns on fabric. Paint over the gel with fabric
paint, and then rinse out the gel. The effect is a
resist impression of your design, similar to batik.
Once you have mastered the technique, you
can try it out on a t-shirt, hat, scarf, or whatever
you like! Kit includes: 1 bottle of gel, 3 fabric
paints, brush, 10 fabric swatches, and over 50
designs to trace. Bring new life to old clothes

I really enjoyed looking through this book and

necklaces use chains or beads to shake it up.
Personally I am really excited to make a coffee

directions make it easy to take your paracord
creations to the next level, and the variety of
projects make this a fun book regardless of age

Reflective Safety Bracelet Kit (3-AD)
Enjoy this popular craft that leaves you with
a stylish and useful accessory! Bracelet kit
has everything you need to make two 7-9”
adult-sized bracelets: two 8-foot lengths of
reflective paracord (parachute cord) and two
plastic buckles with emergency whistles. Dog
collar kit has the materials for one 6-24” collar: one 15-foot length of reflective paracord,
a plastic D ring for attaching tags and leashes,
and a plastic buckle. Simply tie and use!
If the need arises, the craft easily unties so that
you can use the cord again. Alter your design as
necessary to leave the cord intact by doubling
the core strands. Use it to tie down the rain fly
on a tent, to hang food in a tree while camping, or replacement laces in your hiking boots.
The possibilities are endless! Happy crafting!

Chain Maille Jewelry Kits (9-AD)
History and fashion meet to make elegant
jewelry with a contemporary flair. Chain maille
was first developed over 2000 years ago for
armour that consisted of small metal rings
linked together in various patterns to form a
protective mesh. These kits cover various chain
maille techniques, such as the Byzantine or the
European 4-in-1, and they give you step-by-step
instructions to learn the process. The round
jump rings are easy to open and close after a
few practice tries. Once you get going, this is
a very relaxing and fun project. Discover an
ancient skill and create beautiful jewelry that
you can wear! Everything is included in each
kit to make one piece of jewelry (or 2 pairs of
earrings): various sized silver-plated jump rings,
jump ring opener, T-pin, silver-plated clasp, and
an instruction booklet. All you need to supply is
a small pair of chain nose pliers (listed below if
you don't have a pair) and a passion for fashion!

☼Sand Play! Super SANDsational Ideas (2-6)
For a unique sculpting experience, try sand!
Written for a material
known as sculpting sand
(moldable craft sand which
is made from real sand
blended with polymer) the
18 projects in this fascinating book are easy-tofollow and great for the
young artist. Tips & techniques, as well as
color photos throughout help beginning artists
through each project. Sculpting sand (Rainbow
sells a product called ShapeIt! Sand) is soft,
easy to mold and sculpt, never dries out, can
be used over and over, and only sticks to itself
so clean up is a breeze. To get started, author,
designer and illustrator Terry Taylor suggests
having 4 lbs. of sand and common household
items—straws, toothpicks, wooden sticks, forks,
cookie cutters—to name a few. A few items, like
textured foam sheets, will need to be obtained
from a local craft store and you’re on your way
to inexpensive sculpting fun! Be creative and
recycle items from around the house to add to
your sculpting tool box. 48 pgs, 8.25” x 11”

Woodworking
Red Toolbox Sets (PK-AD)
This line of wooden construction kits caught
our eye because it’s, well, not flimsy! And kids
actually assemble useable, quality objects, not
just “clutter.” Designed with the dual goals of
bringing kids and parents together and teaching
children basic carpentry skills, each kit includes
all of the pieces, hardware, and step-by-step
instructions needed to complete each project.
Along the way, kids will build skills in assembling, gluing, hammering, filing and much
more. The kits are leveled according to the
skills needed for assembly and the complexity
of the project. Level 1 kits involve assembly,
gluing, hammering, filing, fully guided bolting,
decorating and painting, while Level 2 kits also
incorporate skills such as guided drilling, semiguided bolting, guided cutting and intermediate
sawing. Junior kits, for the youngest carpenters,
involve assembly, gluing, hammering and filing.
Although Dad’s tools will suffice, the company
also offers quality tools sized especially for a
child’s grip. If you’ve been looking for a manageable “Dad & Me” project, check these out!

Carving For Kids (PK-12)
This book was written to an adult, with the
assumption that they will be introducing and
guiding their children through this wonderful hobby. Although some experience on the
adult’s part would of course be helpful, the
book is written for the beginner. A helpful
introduction acquaints you with carving, wood,
and the tools you’ll need. The next section
contains some simple practice projects that will
help you (and your children) get comfortable
with the techniques before you begin a more
result-driven project. After this, the book is
broken down into three chapters: The Youngest
(ages 4-8), Preteens (9-12), and Teens (13-17).
Each chapter holds three or four age-appropriate
activities; some examples include a nameplate,
a wooden spoon, and a duck carving. These
chapters (as well as the introductory chapters)
are simply formatted in step-by-step directions,
each accompanied by full-color photographs to
guide you through the project from beginning to
end. 95 glossy pgs. – Melissa

Whittling Kit (9-AD)
Back in the old days, whittling was a relaxing
pastime that would result in a useful wooden
object. This kit will teach the skills used in this
dying art. In the kit comes 8 blocks of wood of
varying sizes, a whittling hints and safety guide,
and patterns for 8 projects (knife not included).
The guide and instruction sheet are quite brief,
but the guide refers to You Tube videos for more
instruction. (But then again, this is a learn-bydoing kind of skill!) Projects include a letter
opener, birdhouse, pencil, twister, ball in cage,
Santa, goldfish, and whistle. So sit a spell in your
front porch rocking chair and start whittling.

Become a mosaic artist with the help of these
“mosaic-by-number” kits! Much like paint-bynumber, these kits come with several pre-numbered pictures of various sizes and a key showing what color each number on the board represents. Then, get to work removing the backing
from the thousands of 1/4” square foam pieces
in different colors. Some kits include only colored mosaic squares while some also contain
sparkly ones. Continue sticking the colored
foam squares onto the picture until your mosaic
is complete. Adhesive hangers are provided so
you can proudly display your completed works
of art! Fun and easy to complete. – elise

Stone Kits and Kids' Stepping Stone Kits. They
are basically the same, except Kids' kits result
in an 8" stone, while most of the other Stepping
Stone Kits create a 12" stone. Because the
regular Stepping Stones are larger, more stepping stone mix, and more decorative pieces are
included. Enjoy! ~ Anh

☼Paint with Marbles Kit (K-8)
If you’re looking for a quick art activity that
the kids will enjoy doing over and over again,
try painting with marbles. While you can do
this with any runny paint, marbles, and a tray,
this kit makes it easy and keeps everything
together. It includes five colors of paint in dropper bottles, two foam paint brushes, one regular
paint brush, three stencils, 20 sheets of paper,
five foam frames with hanging tabs, doublesided sticky foam, two plastic marble scoops,
ten plastic marbles and instructions. The cover
of the kit doubles as a painting tray. Basically,
you lay a paper in the tray, drip some paint on
the paper, add the marbles, and then tip and
turn the tray to make fun random patterns. Add
stencils or paint with the brush for more structured pieces. This one was a big winner with our
young testers! – Jess

☼Macrame Terrarium Kit (2-8)
We had a chuckle in the office here about who
remembered the heavy macramé hanging planters from the 70s and 80s! Now your kids and
grandkids can make a modern version in a kit
that has everything but the water to make seeds
grow. In place of jute twine, you now have
bright aqua cording to create your hanger. You
start with 4 cords and a ring. Pictorial directions
guide you through the simplified knotting process to make your hanger. Your plants go into
a plastic globe about 5” in diameter. You knot
the globe securely into the hanger and place it
in a bowl to hold it still as you fill it. Using the
little scooper, start layering your rocks, growing
medium, chia seeds, wheat grass seeds, colored
sand, tiny resin deer and mushroom. You even
get a water mister to water your terrarium. It’s
simple, creative, and you can personalize it too!
Add stickers to the globe or decorate it with our
neon Sharpie markers. You may even inspire a
future gardener with your gift. Be sure to tell
them about your own memories of macramé
planters. ~ Sara

baby, brides, princesses or a even a fairy that
looks like you! This is a delicate craft project,
as the pieces are small and patience is required!

Blank Puzzles by Compoz-a-Puzzle
We use so many of these ourselves, we had
to offer them to you! As far as I’m concerned,
these have been one of the most versatile (and
life-saving) art forms to ever be made! They are,
really, just blank puzzles that can be written on,
colored on, drawn on, painted on, etc. Then
you can break them into pieces (they’re already
die-cut) and they’re puzzles! “So what?” you
say. Wait - here are just a few ways we’ve used
them: send a “puzzle” greeting card or invitation (tuck pieces in envelope and mail), VBS
or Sunday School crafts (pictures or memory
verses), parties (picture this - kids in teams follow clues to collect pieces hidden around yard/
house. Then, they assemble pieces which
become a “treasure map” to follow to a prize.
I’m a hopeless create-your-own-party-games
person), or just plain “art”, creating your own
beautiful puzzle for yourself or as a gift - artwork
that can be used again and again instead of filed
away. We’re just sure that you can invent more
uses of your own (we’d love to hear them, by
the way). Blank puzzles come in several sizes
and each size with larger, fewer pieces or more,
smaller pieces as follows:

them easy to throw in a bag or art kit. You can
get the rolls separately, or in Travel Sets with 10

☼Canson XL Mix Media Pads
The workhorse of paper,
there’s nothing this 98 lb
(160 gsm) of white mass
can’t handle. Pen and pencil: you got it. Oil pastels or crayons: easy stuff.
Watercolor colored pencils
and ink: no problem. Glue
and collage work; make me
laugh. Markers and acrylic paint: piece of cake.
This fine textured paper is truly versatile and my
“go to” for all art media sketching and practice
work. You get a good blend of value and quality
performance. Now, if you plan to apply a lot of
water and washes, the paper will buckle a bit.
Each spiral bound pad, features perforated pages
for easy tear out and a heavy-duty chipboard
backing for extra structure. 60 sheets per pad.

NoteSketches
We spent a lot of time and
thought deciding on the type
of sketchbooks to include in
our Handbook of Nature and
Creative Journaling packages.
Bound books seemed too
“stiff” for sketching. Totally
lined journals are great for
writing, but would discourage artwork. We wanted a place to both write
and draw. We wanted books that were spiralbound so they would lay flat or fold over so it
would be easy to use the whole page. After
much searching, we found the NoteSketch.
Available in either horizontal (bottom half of
pages ruled) or vertical (“inside” half of pages
ruled) format, the paper is just right for drawing, doodling, sketching and writing. 64 pgs
per notebook.

Young Artists Idea Journal (3-AD)
Similar in format to the 5 ½” x 8 ½” Notesketch,
this Idea Journal offers a similar page layout at
a lower price. It’s a 50-sheet art journal, spiralbound on the left-hand side with pages that are
lined on the bottom half and blank on the top
half. It’s a great format for journaling, nature
journaling, creative writing, designing, doodling
and more. The back cover is not as sturdy as
the Notesketch, however.

on these. This thick, durable, acid-free paper
comes in a myriad of colors to create the greenest trees, the reddest hearts, the bluest skies, and
the brightest art projects they can create. Two
sizes are available; 9" x 12", and 12" x 18". Each

Mighty Bright Placemats 24 pk (PK-AD)
These are more than just placemats! Use
these sturdy pieces of cardstock for lapbooks
and other arts and crafts. As placemats, you
can make them seasonal, personalize them for
family and friends, add children’s hand prints or
have people sign them. Fold them in half and
you can make a book to give to grandparents.
Cut out circles for the plate and glass placement, then draw on a fork, knife and spoon to
teach kids how to set the table. Let kids punch
out shapes and layer the colors to show through.
Cut strips and weave them. If you are going to
use them as placemats, you should probably
have them laminated so they can be wiped
clean. The colors are vibrant shades of blue,
green, yellow, pink, orange and red – 2 each of

A mirror board is a sheet of cardstock with
a shiny mylar-like finish on one side and they
are gooorgeous! You cannot actually see your
reflection in them clearly enough to use for a
self-portrait, but they do reflect a fuzzy, recognizable image. Add these to your arts & crafts
supplies and see what your children or students
come up with. They are heavy enough for
card making, mardi-gras masks, rolling into a
kaleidoscope tube, or creating a castle or other
structure. Cuts easily with scissors or a sliding
blade paper cutter. Perfect for your holiday and
seasonal décor! Cut out letters to add to posters
and presentations. Decorate a kid’s room with
their name. Each set has 5 sheets of 8.5” x 11”
mirror board. Multi-color set includes red, royal

Mod Podge Hard Coat (PK-AD)
Mod Podge is thick, water-based glue that has
been around for many years. It can be used for
loads of different crafts, but is most well-known
for decoupage. Decoupage is the art of applying a paper image to something and sealing it.
It’s easy to do, but takes practice to do well!
Brush a layer of glue on your surface (wood,
cardboard, plastic, glass), lay on your paper,
smooth out the air bubbles and let dry about 2
hours. To seal, add several coats, letting it dry
for about 20 minutes between. It can be sanded
with fine steel wool for a nice sheen. This one
dries to a particularly hard satin finish making it
a good option for your furniture craft projects! 8
oz. goes a long way! I prefer a smaller container
to reduce the chances of it drying out when the
lid is off. Non-toxic, store at room temperature.

Aleene’s® Tacky Spray
When you need to cover a larger area, Tacky
Spray gives you great coverage and stays wet for
about 60 seconds to allow you to arrange everything as you would like before it sets. It works
best on lightweight, flat surfaces like paper,
cardboard and lightweight wood. As with other
spray glues, you probably want to use this one
in a well-ventilated area because of the fumes.

Spray sealer is so easy to use and leaves a lovely, even finish. It protects your projects made

Use 2-3 light coats, with drying time between.
Be sure to use with good ventilation. Placing
your object in a large box will keep mess to a
minimum. Six ounces is about half the size of a
standard can of spray paint. Keep out of reach

Aleene’s Collage Pauge Decoupage (PK-AD)
Kid’s love to make collages! It can be for a
science project (weather,) history (an event or
person,) language arts (a favorite book,) geography (country/oceans,) and of course for your art
lessons! Decoupage is a craft that goes back to
Victorian times where you apply glue to a surface, lay a paper image on it, and seal the paper
with the glue. Decoupage glue is thicker than
regular white glue. It dries clear, is water-resistant and acid-free. The paper you use can be
from greeting cards, gift wrap, scrapbook paper,
pretty napkins or tissue, posters, magazines or
regular copy paper. You can apply paper to
wood, canvas, glass, plaster and foam. I have
done a lot of decoupage and have found that if
you apply the image and let it dry, and then seal
it – it lies flatter than if you glue-apply-seal all at
once. You can refurbish yard sale furniture for
the kid’s rooms by gluing on fun paper images!

Rulers / Guides / Tools
Stainless Steel Non-slip Ruler 12” (PK-AD)
One of the most useful tools you can have in
your toolbox! This flexible, stainless steel ruler
can be used for more than measuring. With
the gripping foam back placed down, make
precise cuts safely with any utility blade as you
run it along the ruler’s edge. Or make perfectly
straight folds as you guide paper over the ruler’s
edge. Because the non-skid back raises the ruler
off the page slightly, it helps you draw inked
lines that don’t bleed. The ruler face offers
numerical increments of 4 for 32nds on top and
increments of 8 for 64ths on bottom, as well as
the traditional 12 inches for precise measuring.

3D Grid Box (3-AD)
My art skills are virtually non-existent. In fact,
there’s only been one methodology that has
ever given me any sense of accomplishment
in terms of reproducing an item so that it looks
anything like it is supposed to. That’s the grid
method where you reproduce square by square
what something looks like and the end result is
actually proportioned similarly to the original.
That’s what this little box is all about. You can
put an item into the box and then draw the item
using the grid method. Ingenious! The box itself
is a clear, acrylic 10 cm cube. On each face of
the cube there is a tactile 1 cm black-line grid
(10 cm x 10 cm) superimposed onto the plastic.
The lid has a 1 cm overlap around the outside
of the box. ~ Janice

graphite will stick to the paper. Very fun! Sold

Color Pep’s Coloured Pencils (PK-AD)
Being a color pencil connoisseur, I was skeptical when I opened up this box. That is, until I
used them. Wow! The colors are vividly rich
and the lead is soft and smooth. I was amazed at
the way the colors softly glided across the paper
with minimal effort. The lead is break resistant
and the pencils are easy to sharpen, plus the
triangular shaped pencils are easy to hold with a
comfortable grip. The wood is from sustainably
grown forests.
This pencil set is also available in flex box
packaging. What an innovative way to store
these pencils! Pop the lid off the container, push
down on the accordion flex box until it snaps
into the base, and “Voilà!” You have a handy
pod that holds your pencils upright for easy
access while coloring. Once collapsed, the pod
measures 2.5” tall, so even when the pencils
have been sharpened down in size, they are still
easy to pick up. Available in assorted colors of
pink/lime or blue/lime.
To make coloring time more enjoyable for
smaller children, the jumbo size of the Maxi
colored pencils is the key for little hands.
Offered in the same vibrant colors and smooth
drawing ability as the standard size, these have
a pencil diameter that’s twice as thick for easier
grip and a wider tip for faster coloring.

Lyra Giant Colored Pencils (PK-AD)
Lyra has been producing high quality drawing
materials since 1806, and these giant colored
pencils are no exception! Children and adults
alike will enjoy the richly pigmented colors
that glide on creamy smooth and blend with
ease—once you try these, you’ll never want
to use anything else. Offered in two lacquered
pencil shapes—hexagonal-shaped Giants and
triangular-shaped Super Ferby with a comfortable grip (suited for beginners and left-handed
artists)—these colored pencils feature extra
thick, break resistant lead that lasts longer than
most pencils. The larger size lead and pencils
require less sharpening (large pencil size sharpener required) and allow for longer coloring
time with less fatigue.
The Metallic Colors set features a hexagonalshaped, lacquered pencil with smooth, glossy,
metallic lead that looks brilliant on all paper,
even black paper, making art or craft projects
a pleasure to create. Set includes one of each
metallic color: bronze, gold, silver, green,
dusty rose, and lilac. The Waldorf Selection
set includes a specially designed color assortment (lemon, yellow, orange, scarlet, carmine,
violet, light blue, dark blue, green, apple green,
warm brown and dark brown) of unlacquered,
triangular-shaped Super Ferby pencils. With
the natural, unlacquered wood and the closed
end with no lead core exposed, these colored
pencils are great for younger children who like
to put pencils in their mouth.
All pencils are non-toxic, approximately 7” in
length, and feature thick 6.25mm lead cores.

Prismacolor Colored Pencils
We have used these colored pencils for years.
They are wonderful, with soft thick leads in a
spectrum of vivid, blendable colors. Pencils
work smoothly and colors are lightfast and
waterproof. These are the pencils we prefer for
use with nature or history coloring books or as
a drawing/sketch medium in art. Professional
quality pencils, they are also more expensive
than the hard-leaded colored pencils you may
have used as a child. Once you try them, you’ll
see (and feel) the difference!

Erasable Colored Pencils
I normally have doubts about colored pencils
that are truly erasable, but I can honestly say
that these do work! Each of the twelve pencils
has an eraser on the end, in the color of the
pencil lead, and by erasing firmly, the colored
pencil erases pretty cleanly. - Jess

Rich in pigment, smooth in texture, these quality square artists pastels will delight you with
their smooth velvet effect. These are made of
pure calcium carbonate and have 30% more
material by weight than other leading brands.
Softer than a pencil or art chalk, more blendable than an oil pastel. Use on paper with
some “tooth” like construction paper. Work
with these directly on paper or cloth or use a
brush to transfer color from stick to plastercraft

Alphacolor Soft Pastels
Artist quality materials make your children’s
art look more… artful. As they graduate from
crayons to colored pencils to pastels, encourage their talent with good quality supplies. This
square, white, chalky pastel is 2.5” long and can
be used in many projects. I asked our resident
graphic designer what the difference is between
this and regular old white chalkboard chalk
and she gasped! Apparently it is a matter of the
fineness of the pressed chalk and the edges and
points you use that makes this completely different and a pleasure to use in your fine art. The
sets of soft pastels have bright, vibrant colors.
Set of 12 includes basic colors, plus light green,
light blue, and peach. Set of 24 includes those
colors with more shades and neutrals.

with the color and the blendability of these pastels in comparison tests with other brands. The
colors are comparable to more expensive pastels, they're not goopy in consistency, and when
layered and blended, they do so smoothly,
without much mess. They come in two sizes,
regular, which is standard oil pastel size, and
jumbo, which is thicker and slightly longer.

added feature, they are water-soluble, allowing the artist to wet blend with a brush creating
beautiful, flowing watercolor effects. (Note: it’s
a good idea when practicing watercolor techniques to use a heavy watercolor paper.) You

money. Artists of all levels from beginners to

with one longer, narrower side. This side is
held between the fingers and helps to promote
a tripod grip. Used by physical therapists and
early childhood educators, not only are the
crayons easy to hold, but they are also unique
and work very well for coloring. The colors
are bright and the texture is quite smooth when
you write with them. They would also work
very well for crayon rubbings, since they have a
broader surface area. We were quite charmed
with them when we first got our hands on them!

Crayola® Twistable Slick Stix (PK-AD)
Instantly apply an intense “pop” of color with
one effortless swipe of a crayon! These Twistable
Slick Stix crayons by Crayola® are creamy like
butter, making them feel more like an oil pastel
but without the mess on your hands. Little ones
will enjoy the ease of color application and
blending, plus they won’t break like traditional
crayons since the pigment is contained in a
sturdy plastic barrel. Colors are very dense and
easily blend together creating unlimited shading
combinations. Another benefit is that there is no
sharpening needed, simply twist and keep coloring. Let your creativity go beyond traditional
paper and explore these super smooth crayons
on foil, cardboard, foam, and even waxed
paper. Coloring has never been so satisfying!
Materials are non-toxic, but could stain, so take
precautions to protect furniture before use and
supervise younger students.

Twist Up Crayons
We'd always take twist-up crayons with us on
trips when we were little, but we were often
frustrated because the crayon would break, or
we couldn't twist them up further, or the spring
would break and the crayon "lead" would keep
disappearing back into the shaft of the crayon,
and we'd have to give up on that color. And
that is why I love these twist up crayons. The
colors are brilliant and bright, not dull and light
like other, harder and dryer crayons. Also,
there are no springs involved. Twist them up
and they'll stay at that level, not bounce up and
down when you put pressure on the tip. Welldesigned and colorful - what more could you
ask for in a twist up? - Jess

Nostalgic, long-lasting Crayola® markers were

colored, broad line markers make any art,
craft, or school project enjoyable and have a
sturdy conical tip that can apply large areas of
color fast. Crayola® also offers this classic in a
fine tip, thinner marker that’s great for smaller
coloring areas, lettering, line work, and adding
precise details to artwork. Inks are high quality,
rich, non-toxic, and water based, but may not
wash out of clothing, so you may want to supervise younger ones when coloring.

working on design, fashion, illustrations, mixed
media, or even hobby projects would love these

Blendy Pens (K-5)
Blendy Pens look like a 2-ended marker connected by a silver cylinder. That is where the
magic happens – in the fusion chamber! When
you attach 2 markers to the fusion chamber
(markers are all changeable), hold them vertically and twist for 5 seconds, remove the bottom
pen and that one is now blended. When you
color with it, the top color fades into the bottom color. If you put a red on top of a yellow,
then draw with the yellow, it looks like a flame
blending from red to orange to yellow! When
the red fades away, you can then blend that
yellow marker with another color. Ten markers
offer 45 color combinations! Wouldn’t that be
a fun art lesson! Any colors can be mixed and
matched, but the most dramatic combos have
a dark color on top of a light color. Always
store with 2 Blendy Pens clicked into the fusion
chamber, lying flat. Washes off skin with soap
and water, but may not come out of all fabrics
or surfaces. All of the pages in the various sets
have black backgrounds with white parts to
color. This looks really neat once your child has
filled it in with their pens! ~ Sara

Create icy-cool designs on any glass surface

Draw with the markers in a warm, dry place (a
window with sunlight, for example) and wait
a few minutes for the ink to crystallize. You
can speed up the process by fanning air on the
design, but once it starts, it can change really
quickly. Clean-up is as easy as wiping with a
damp cloth, but you may want to use a little
household window spray for any remaining
streaks. Guests will be amazed at your winter
window decorations, but these markers would
be fun year-round!

were dismissed to a high shelf because, after
all, what can you really do with them? Tahdah! Do•A•Dot Art has a solution! They’ve

Painters Markers
My sisters and I ran our Painters
markers into the ground, as I
recall. One Christmas my parents gave us three whole boxes
of assorted wood scraps and a
selection of these markers to do
with as we pleased. We could
hardly contain ourselves at the
time, and of course ran immediately downstairs to the basement to set up "shop," coloring,
gluing, and painting the wood into unique
sculptures that we'd proudly display in the hall.
For the kids whose Mom doesn't have the time
to supervise them with paints and brushes and
all that other paraphernalia, these are terrific.
Filled with real acrylic paint, these high quality (not to mention durable!) markers not only
can they be used to decorate wood, but also
work equally well on pottery, ceramics, glass,
paper, metal, plastic and fabrics. They're also
non-toxic, acid-free and the colors won't fade or
dry quickly, and the points are small enough to
decorate with more detail and control possible
than many younger children can achieve with a
paintbrush. Use them for countless craft projects, scrap booking, card-making, and whatever
else you can dream up. Also keeps kids occupied for hours in the basement as long as you
can find some random wood scraps to toss in
as well. - Jess

Poster Paint Markers – 6 Pack (PK-5)
These paints are great for projects, signs, banners, posters, and more. Each marker contains
1.6 fl. oz. of washable paint, which is dispensed
by pressing the marker down on a surface. The
“markers” don’t leak, and the paint is easy to
control with the tip. Contained in the marker
tubes, the paint lasts seven times longer than jar
paint and doesn’t make unwanted messes. This
set includes paint markers in red, yellow, green,
blue, orange, and black contained in a clear
carrying case complete with a handle. ~Rachel

Sharpie Paint Markers
Another great product from a name you can
trust. These new oil-based paint markers from
Sharpie can be used for home, school, or work.
Paint pigment resists fading, water, and abrasion
(so you can wash that mug you hand-painted!).
The colors are opaque and brilliant, even on
dark surfaces. Colors lay down smoothly and
vividly on a variety of surfaces, from fabrics to
metals; it even remains permanently on hard-tomark surfaces, such as rubber. Paint markers are
low odor, quick drying, and xylene-free. With
three tip sizes to choose from, there's a size for
every job, from filling in large areas to drawing
fine details. ~ Alysia

Opaque paint markers are great for scrapbooking, art projects, posters and signs. Waterbased, acid-free ink can be used on glass and
cleaned off. Vibrant colors work on light or
dark surfaces. Extra-fine markers are slimmer
than a regular Sharpie. Kids can decorate your
windows seasonally, or even do math problems

enough, they also have glitter in the paint!

Stained Brush Tip Fabric Markers (PK-AD)
We know Sharpies are effective on just about
anything else, so I expected that their fabric
markers would be bold, sharp and juicy. I was
not disappointed; the colors are bright and bold
and the brush tip is versatile for drawing fine
lines or filling in large areas. However, I have
to admit, they don’t seem as “inky” as regular
Sharpies. You should let your designs set for at
least 24 hours before machine washing. – Jess

and a fine pointed round brush. The bristles are

triangular which helps small hands keep a nice

that are easy to use, and the colors are fantastically rich. We tried out the neon set, and the
fabric paint had plenty of pigment to boldly
cover fabrics and canvas. It was fun making
small splattered effects and heavily sprayed
areas of vibrant colors, plus when layered over
the top of each other, the paints did a great job
maintaining an opaque coverage. Place a piece
of cardboard in the t-shirt or other items to keep
the paint from bleeding through while it dries.

Tulip® Beads in a Bottle (3-AD)
As someone who has done their share of fabric painting over the years, I like the potential
of what it can do, but I get frustrated when it
“looks” like amateur fabric paint. But this twist
on fabric paint totally gets my vote. Basically,
it looks like glitter glue in a tube. Squeeze out
a tiny dab onto a t-shirt, jeans, or anything
else, and it dries into a hard little rounded
ball – despite the fact that it starts off looking
like soft-serve ice cream. We tested this in our
office, dressing up tees, decorating onesies, and
adding flair to the back pockets of jeans (the
paint works great on most fabrics but is not recommended for leather, rubber or plastic). Even
better, the colors resemble metals and jewels, so
when the “beads” dry, they look like rhinestones
or studs. After application, let the project sit flat
for 4 hours, and then you can even wash it after
72 hours. Watch out – with flair this easy to
apply, no tote bag, pair of jeans or blank tee is
safe! Each pack includes four .84 oz. tubes in
different colors. Non-toxic. – Jess

Art-Time Tempera Paint (PK-AD)
Powdered paints offer easy storage and flexibility when it comes to mixing colors, shades,
and amounts you need for a project. Each of
these plastic jars is 1 pound of colored tempera
powder which will make about half a gallon of
paint. Temperas clean up with soap and water.
You can add color to white to make paler
shades or add more water to lighten the color.
For best consistency, add 1 part paint to 1 part
water. These should be an art/craft shelf staple
along with blank paper and crayons! Non-toxic.

Tempera Cakes
These dry cakes of tempera are a great solution
for those times when liquid paints are too messy
or inconvenient. Each cake measures 2 ¼” x
¾” around and sets come in white plastic pans.
You use them just like watercolor pan paints by
wetting a brush and stirring the water on top
of the tempera cake. Unlike watercolor pans
however, tempera cakes aren’t small, plastic-y
or super diluted, so you get bright, fun tempera
paint, and with the large cakes, everyone can
share. Plus, they’re portable and long-lasting as
they don’t dry out or freeze. Tempera cakes are
available in two 6-color sets; primary and secondary. The primary set includes red, yellow,
blue, green, white and black; the secondary set
includes magenta, purple, orange, lime green,
turquoise and indigo. Paint is non-toxic and
washable with soap and water. – Jess
Metallic Tempera Paint
When I first tested out this metallic tempera, I
was amazed by the quality as well as the color.
Unlike other metallic paints, which tend to be
dull, grainy, and semi-glittery instead of metallic, this paint glides on smooth as silk, leaving a
trail of non-mistakable, eye-catching color that
looks like it should. Each is bright and reflective, creating gold crowns that look like finely
mined and purified gold, not like gold crowns
that have been lying in a tomb underground for
a thousand years. Tested against other leading
metallic temperas at our dining room table, I
gave them a huge thumbs-up. My sister's summarizing comment was "That's gold too? It's so
ugly compared to this one!" These are definitely
worth the expense. Your future paintings will
thank you. These work great on posters, wood,
paper, plastic and more. Acid-free, non-toxic.

Crayola® Watercolors Mixing Set (PK-AD)
This educational set of pan watercolors by
Crayola® is a great tool to not only expose your
student to watercolors, but also to introduce
them to color mixing and color theory. The
best way to learn is by doing! Instructions are
included so students can first read about primary
and secondary colors and then try to create new
colors themselves. As they mix pigments, colors
will transform in front of them. Explore more
color theory by learning how to add various
amounts of white or black to a color to create
tints and shades. This set includes 8 oval pans
(red-violet, red-orange, 2 primary yellows, turquoise, blue-violet, black, white), 1 quality #7
taklon paintbrush, and a durable plastic carry
case with a lid that can be used as a mixing palette. Paints are non-toxic but contain pigments
that could stain clothing and other surfaces.

Bienfang Watercolor Brush Pens (7-AD)
There’s no doubt that
watercolor is one of the
most relaxing, spontaneous forms of painting,
and it instantly dresses
up cards, scrapbooks,
journals, nature studies
or anywhere else you’d
like a dab of color.
And while the tools are
typically simple, these
Watercolor Brush Pens make it even easier to
watercolor whenever, and wherever you’d like.
The pens are ready to go almost instantly after
you remove the shipping ring and squeeze the
pen to bring the paint to the brush tip. The
colors are bold and bright, and you can use
them with any number of standard wet or dry
watercolor techniques. I think the convenience
factor is especially nice for outdoor painting and
nature journaling… with fewer tools to juggle,
how much more confidently can you capture
that blue jay?

Watercolor Magic Watercolor Paints (3-AD)
Although I loved to watercolor when I was a
kid, I always had a hard time getting those hard,
stubborn solid paints from a pan to mix enough
with my water to create colors as bold as I
wanted to use. Watercolor Magic takes the frustration out of watercoloring though, with unique
liquid watercolors. Amazingly bright and soft
to work with, they can be further watered down
to produce any desired color or effect. Also,
a little goes a long way with these. Stephen
and Janine both clamored to test these out, and
when I set them loose with these and a pan of
watercolors, they overwhelmingly preferred the
liquid watercolors - and then didn't want to stop
using them! These washable, non-toxic paints
can also be used for refilling your rubber stamp
ink pads, art tinting/glazing when using acrylic
varnishes, and dying craft materials such as
paper, wood, glue, acrylic glaze, sand, fabric,
shaving cream, and more. - Jess

Neocolor II Water-Soluble Wax Pastels (3-AD)
Imagine crayons that transform into watercolors with just a few drops of water. This wax
pastel set does just that! To test this product, I
scribbled out a rainbow on paper, wet it with
few drops of water, then blended it with my
finger. The colors stayed vibrant, but blended
like magic! Each color softly bled into the
next. The effect would be even more gorgeous
with a brush! These would be fun to use with
our Famous Artist coloring books (especially
Impressionists like Monet). I used them on a
notepad, but they would work better on absorbent watercolor paper so it doesn’t wrinkle as
the water dries. I showed these to our graphic
designer and she now wants a set! Each denselycolored pastel is about 4” long. The set of 10

Pebeo Drawing Gum (45 ml) (K-AD)
One of the best masking fluids on the market!
This peel-able rubber solution by Pebeo is great
for maintaining white or uncolored areas of your
paper while painting with inks or watercolors.
The low-odor, light blue fluid is easy to apply
with a small paintbrush or flat toothpick and
doesn’t gum up during application. Once on the
paper, the subtle pale blue color of the drawing
gum helps one differentiate where the masking
has been applied. After the painting is dry and
complete, the peel-able masking pulls up easily
with a finger or an eraser and doesn’t leave any
discoloration or damaging of the paper. Pebeo’s
drawing gum can be diluted and easily cleaned
with water.

☼Acrylic Color 5 Tube Starter Set (7-AD)
As a painter myself, acrylics are lovely to work
with for their easy use and clean up. However,
the intense colors of oil paints are usually more
rich and vibrant. While these paints are ready
to use out of the tube, they are intensely colored. If you want to paint on fabric, mix them
with a fabric medium. Want to paint on paper
or canvas? Prime your canvas with a gesso and
your paper with a painting medium or varnish to
seal the surface. You get 5 large tubes (2.5 oz.
each) of black, white, cool yellow, cool blue
& cool red. Tube paints will store longer than
bottle paints, which is a plus if you don’t paint
very often. Washes up with soap & water. Some
instructions included; by Chromacryl student

Reeves Water Mixable Oil Color, 10 Tube Set
(7-AD)
Oil paints that clean up with water?? Wake
me up, I must be dreaming! That’s right; you
don’t need to use stinky solvents to clean your
brushes, while still having the high level of
pigmentation and full-bodied consistency of oil
paints. The colors hold up to light well and are
lovely to work with. You can use Reeves water
mixable linseed oil or small amounts of water to
thin your colors as you wish for your painting.
Each tube is 22ml, a good amount to work with.
Colors include: titanium white, lemon yellow,
brilliant red, crimson, pthalo blue, ultramarine,
sap green, yellow ochre, burnt umber and ivory
black. I have done a lot of painting with acrylics because I never wanted to mess with the
clean-up of oil painting, even though I love the
richness of oils. If, like me, the clean-up is what
has been making you resist letting your student
try oil painting, then I’m afraid you now have
no excuse! This is a lot of paint for the price
too. The tubes (not squirt bottles) will make your
students feel like they are real artistes! ~ Sara

Dynasty® watercolor brushes offer a quality
paintbrush for the price. Offered in two bristle
types, these round brush sets have a wide assortment of sizes including #0, #2, #6, #8, and
#10 that any serious artist will need. The larger
sizes work well for covering a broad area of
paper with pigment and applying washes, while
the smaller brushes lend themselves to detail
work. Red sable bristles are natural hair fibers
that offer superior spring, pointing ability, and
supple control while painting. The white nylon
bristles are synthetic alternatives that offer slightly less amount of ability than their natural counterparts, but they are more affordable and more
durable. Each set offers a 5-brush assortment.

Paint Cups / Palettes
No-Spill Paint Cups
These inexpensive paint cups are awesome
– and a must for anyone with young kids that
like to paint! Each paint cup features a twist-off
cap, which contains a funneled area leading
into the cup, and a flip-up lid. When the cap is
screwed on and the lid is down, nothing leaks
out of these puppies (yup, we tested ‘em)! Cups
are clear plastic, and lids are solid-colored plastic. Additional features include: ridged “brush
holders’ on top of lid, an inner rim seal that
prevents paint evaporation, and a suggested “fill
line” on the cup. The inner funnel area in the
cup prevents paint from leaking out if the cup is
tipped over. Cups and lids are sturdy, durable
plastic and should last for years. Available as
single cups (assorted color, no choice) and a set
of 10. – Jess

keep a stock of art supplies) when they visit.

Printmaking / Block Printing
BLOCK PRINTING MATERIALS
Ah, the joy of block printing...the carving of
the block, the feel of the squishy ink, the roll
of the brayer, and the infinite number of copies
you can print - even in different colors. No art
experience would be complete without a little
unit on block printing! Design your holiday
greeting cards, plaster the world with your
special message, or put your own rubber stamp
ideas to the block. Better than using potatoes,
sponges, or clay to block print, as your designs
will be permanent, storable, and reusable.

Permoplast Modeling Clay (K-AD)
If you've seen Gumby and Pokey, you've
seen what this modeling clay can do! So what
would you do with this reusable modeling clay?
Try your hand at sculpting for one thing! Make
molds for another! Of course, you can just let
the kids play and remake and start over again
with it too. Non-toxic, smooth clay and saturated colors will make you feel like a real artist.
The colors blend easily, to make custom shades.
Giving younger children clay to play with helps
develop their small motor skills for writing readiness. I bet you didn’t think of that! I didn’t, but it
makes sense. If your older artists will be making
molds and filling them with silicone rubber, you
will be glad to know that this clay does not contain any sulphur. For best results, store clay in
an airtight container. Single colors and assorted
pack come in 1-lb. (4-stick) packs. ~ Sara

Premo! Sampler Packs (PK-AD)
Are you a fan of Sculpey clay? I sure am! The
vibrant colors stay true after you bake it in the
oven. You can stamp it or sculpt it; it is a lot of
fun to play with. Premo is a line from Sculpey
that is soft enough to be easy to blend, but firm
enough to hold fine detail. It retains flexibility
after you bake it and is very durable. It won’t
crack if you drop it on a hard surface for example. Use Premo for jewelry making or anything
that will get handled on a regular basis. This clay
can take it. Use it for kids’ projects and let them
handle their creations without worrying about it
breaking easily. The fabulous colors are densely
saturated and come in 1-oz. bars. The product
goes pretty far and stores well. Try it once and
you will likely become a fan too. ~ Sara

Sculpey UltraLight Clay (1-AD)
This easy-to-handle clay is extremely lightweight (it’ll even float after baking!) and is a
great starting clay for beginners. The clay turns
hard when baked, so it won’t crack or break,

You can mold and form this clay into any shape,
then bake it and... voila! You just designed

to rub out those unwanted pencil marks. The

tool’s disc has pleated edges for a crimping or

One end has a rectangle with a smooth edge on
one side and a curved edge on the other. The
opposite side of the “knife” has a wide-spaced
comb. This tool can be used to cut, shape,

☼Stockmar Modeling Beeswax (PK-AD)
A harder-to-find alternative to modeling clay,
modeling beeswax offers vibrant, semi-transparent colors, a pleasant beeswax scent, a long
shelf life and is very safe for little ones to sculpt
with. We enjoyed sculpting with beeswax when
we were younger and making lovely, detailed
designs. Unlike modeling clay, you can easily
make fine, delicate points and extremely flat
sheets that hold their shape until re-modeled,
and the texture and colors just look fancier and
more sophisticated than regular modeling clay!
The beeswax does need to be warmed with the
hands a bit to become workable, but the same
beeswax can be used again and again. Each set
includes 10 cm x 4 cm sheets of different colors
in a box. - Jess

Bubber Sculpting Compound (PK-AD)
Fun to play with, fun to say! The makers
of Moon Sand now bring you a sculpting and
modeling compound so light, airy, and smooth
you won’t want to let go! At the microscopic
level, Bubber is made up of hollow beads, so it
feels as light as air. However, it sticks together
incredibly well, and like Moon Sand, it never
dries out, so you don’t have to worry if it didn’t
get packed up after play. It’s always soft and
responsive to the touch, so little impatient hands
don’t have to wait for it to warm up either. My
favorite feature is that it holds its shape so you
can sculpt it very easily with modeling tools,
or press items into it and you’ll always get nice
clean lines. I watched a gentleman sculpting
with Bubber at a trade show and it was amazing. He had a rounded knife (almost like a
spreader) and was shaving off bits and pieces
here, smoothing there until he had completed a
lovely angel. Compared to Moon Sand, this is
more of a modeling compound than a sculpting
sand which is best played with in a container of
some sort. Bubber is available in 4 oz. buckets.
There are six colors available, and each is sold
separately. All Moon Sand accessories will also
work with Bubber.

☼Skwooshi Sand (PK-AD)
My kids love the soft pliability of Play-doh,
but it dries out so quickly when they leave it
out (which is all the time!). They were just as
happy to try out Skwooshi sand, though, which
is also pliable enough for small hands, easy to
shape and mold, and perhaps most importantly,
never dries out. It’s similar to Shape-It Sand, but
it seems to hold together a little bit better and
hold more detail after molding. You can stretch
it, roll it flat, cut out shapes, sculpt, cut, build
and mix the colors. Each set includes a few
2-oz. containers of Skwooshi. – Jess
