This award winning book offers over 250 art activities designed to encourage kids to make art a part of their everyday lives. Skills and materials are described with how-tos and recipes, but the projects themselves are open-ended to encourage creativity and to allow different results each time and by different age levels. Parent guidelines empower even "art impaired" adults, providing what every parent and teacher needs to know to create an environment that gets kids excited about art. Winner of a Parent's Guide to Children's Media Award.

About the Author

Carolyn Holm is an artist, writer and art teacher who has worked with classroom children from pre-school through middle school, and with older teens and adults in small workshops. Her own art especially delights kids, who find her assemblage and collage pieces appealing.

She worked for many years as a graphic designer with her own design firm in San Francisco, but when her daughter was born she closed this firm to be a full time mother. But she never stopped "doing art" and with that closing another door opened - working with children and art. Presently teaching art and doing some public speaking about children and art, Carolyn also still does some free-lance graphic design, and she's a Girl Scout troop leader. She lives in the small town of El Cerrito on the San Francisco Bay, with her husband, daughter, two dogs, a cat, nine chickens and a large old fashioned garden full of roses.
