Guide Review - 1, 2, 3 I Can Draw Book
As I said about the other books in this series from Kids Can Press, this book is a great addition to your arts and crafts library. Kids will enjoy flipping through the pages with their parents and learning all about how to draw and the materials used to draw. Not only will you find engaging illustrations on each page but also colorful photographs of finished projects and the supplies you use. There is also a glossary of drawing related terms for kids to learn, complete with pictures.This book teaches how to draw faces and expressions, body basics, movements, and portraits. It also encourages kids to experiment with different textures in their drawings. The final project in the book combines all of the techniques taught in a self portrait. One of my favorite features in this book and the other books in the Starting Art series is the page especially for parents and teachers which offers suggestions for more drawing projects and tips for making the kids' experience with drawing a positive one.
This is one of several books in the Starting Art series from Kids Can Press. The Starting Art series introduces art concepts such as color, form and texture, reinforced and put into practice through the creative process. Each book includes a visual glossary of key art terms and a note to parents and teachers on how to ensure a good art experience every time.
