Have kids? This is Let's Make Some Great Art: Animals by Marion Deuchars. Her wonderful book features a selection of art activities designed to engage beginning artists. They include things like drawing, painting, finger and hand print art. The activities focus on creating a wide range of animals, from popular pets to wild animals and more. Space is reserved inside this (over-sized) workbook to complete nearly all of the activities. Many can be expanded upon outside of this book. Minimally you'll need some basic art supplies - something to draw with, some paint, tape and a pair of scissors. Or use all your favorite art supplies. Text is minimal. Examples of each activity show clearly what to do. Use these charming examples to spark creativity. Prompts lead the way - gently encouraging action. There is a new art technique every page or two. The emphasis is on having fun. Perfection is rejected. The activities are designed to build kids confidence in their ability to make art.
