Art for All Seasons is a well-thought-out handbook of nature-inspired
art adventures that can be explored over and over with different results
each time. Perfect for parents, teachers, grandparents or anyone working
with children making art! The nature-based lessons are beautifully
illustrated with more than 400 full-color photographs of the process and
additional inspirational images of contemporary artists' work. Included
is information on how to set up a simple home studio, a comprehensive
list of materials, how to display and save kid's art work and ideas
surrounding making art with others. A recipe chapter shows how to make
some of your own materials and how to use standard art materials. Each
lesson is a great springboard of ideas for anyone wanting to be inspired
by the natural world to make art. Art for All Seasons will be your
perennial go-to book when making art with children.
