03/01/2016Even though "for kids" is included in the title, this guide is actually aimed at adults—primarily parents and teachers—to help them share creative time with their children and students. Painter and graphic designer Corfee (Fashion Design Workshop) offers projects that can help children discover painting, building their imaginations and confidence. After a short introductory section addressing supplies, cleanup, and general tips for making art with children, 52 designs are presented. The projects are step by step, but improvisation and experimentation are highly encouraged. The activities, appropriate for a range of ages, with many including adaptations for both the younger and more advanced set, are arranged in sections: basic technique; ideas and imagination; color interaction and mixing; mixed media; and inspiration. All projects employ painting, with numerous types of paint and other media, such as printmaking and collage, included. VERDICT This guide has great potential for educational and parenting crossover appeal.
