WEDNESDAY: Books

Art for Kids: 52 Creative Adventures in Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Paper, and Mixed Media, by Susan Schwake.

Confession to make- I love doing the art projects myself and not with kids.  Although, I owe much of my thinking out of the box to kids messes and misuse of art supplies.  This book is a simple guide to using the collection of art supplies that has accumulated in my cupboard over the years.  We always intended to use the oil pencils, charcoal pencils, papers, etc, but ran out of time for one reason or another.  Maybe I can use this collection of "goods" with my grandsons, but first I want to learn how to use them myself!

Today's project:  Leaf Prints with Watercolor
My garden is full of leaves this time of year.  Instead of block-printing ink I will use thinned black craft paint.
