Rock
Painting Fun for Everyone!
I love the projects in the book Rock Painting Fun for Everyone!
so much it was hard to not choose all painted rocks as my favorites.
I love the author’s simple and positive style of writing,
which the reader gets their first exposure to in the Introduction.
She encourages you to enjoy the rock painting experience and her
enthusiasm is infectious because she makes you believe you can create
wonderfully painted rocks.
Monet and Impressionists
for Kids
Author Carol Sabbeth makes learning Monet and other Impressionist
artists fun. I like that the activities in each chpater encourage
the reader to experiment with different mediums (i.e. combining
magazine pictures with acrylic paints to create something new) like
the artists we are learning about did when they first started as
Impressionists.

the major events involving Gutenberg, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Machiavelli,
Francois I, Magellan, Luther and Copernicus that occured around
Leonardo da Vinci's lifetime.

early days of man up to and including Twentieth century photography

Drawing For Dummies
The atmosphere of this book is one that is dedicated to the easy,
successful method of learning how to draw. Drawing for Dummies begins
with a handy chart called a Cheat Sheet that is a guide to Graphite
Drawing Pencils and on the other side a diagram and breakdown of
The Parts of an Eye. The Introduction is an outline of the contents
of the book but also conveys the feeling that the author believes
anyone can learn to draw and you can have fun doing it.
The Fundamentals
of Drawing Still Life
I really like this book Fundamentals of Drawing Still Life because
it gives the reader confidence in knowing that whatever skills they
do or do not have, they can learn to draw on some scale. The lessons
in the book won’t make you an expert but give you an understanding
of how to draw the basic shapes that form a lot of the images represented
in the book. |
