Children enjoy a wonderful creativity
that allows them to express themselves joyfully through
art. As they get older the urge to create remains, but they
may not believe they possess "real" artistic talent.
The Jumbo Book of Art bridges that gap. Art techniques provide
the basis for over 200 pages of drawing, painting, sculpture
and mixed-media crafting projects, along with itemized material
lists and a glossary that will give kids the confidence
and freedom to explore!
A portion of the proceeds from this book
will go to the charity, Arts
For Children of Toronto

"A basic premise of this doorstopper
is the abandonment of all preconceived notions about what
making art is about. Have fun, take risks, there are no
rules (merely helpful hints about what might work), seem
to be the rules here."
–The Globe and Mail
"Aimed at children ages 8 and
older, the book is filled with ideas that are challenging
enough to interest older children, yet are simple to do.
It's also a great book for adults who are interested in
teaching themselves a bit about artistic endeavors. The
directions for each project are crystal-clear, aided by
many illustrations and color photographs."
–SuburbanChicagoNews.com
"The Jumbo Book of Art is perfect
for the resident artist in your house, or for igniting the
hidden artist in YOU. It took five years to pull together
dozens of ideas from talented artists and instructors at
the Avenue Road Arts School. It's a treasure trove of ideas
that are bound to stir up creativity and inspire some ideas
of your own."
–WonderKorner
