13 Art Techniques Children Should Know

I bought this for my grandkids, who come from 5 generations of artists. Shelby gets So excited when she sees Rockwell prints or a Van Gogh or a Georgia O Keefe bc at 7, she has learned about these artists & can pick out their work. It has inspired her to paint much more seriously. My 11 yr old grson could be a graphic designer already, but learning that diff artists have different styles has inspired him to find his own style. I see it enriching Their lives & I wish every child could have their own copy. I Highly recommend for anyone 5 or older.

This is a lovely, informative book. Families and homeschoolers would definitely benefit from looking through and discussing each technique before a visit to the art museum! It gives children a fine overview of style and materials used in famous works of art. Even adults will find interesting ideas and facts that they did not know. I purchased this to give as a gift with an art kit. The book has exceeded my expectations! I have especially loved using the timelines that appear with each technique presented. It is a wonderful way to teach and understand where something is placed in history. The book is hardbound and nicely made. We do love this book and will use it for some time to come. I also plan to purchase other books in this series.

13 Art Techniques is a lovely book for adults. My two granddaughters have not looked at it; at 6 and 7, they are likely a bit young. I think this book, which briefly describes art techniques is a perfect coffee table edition. I myself have enjoyed reading it at nighttime--it is informative, but not exhaustive.

I like the pictures and examples in this book, but the information is mediocre.

I'm an Art teacher and love this series of books. Its a great way to help students appreciate great Art.

Great book to stimulate your child's art appreciation. I bought it for my 6 yr-old grandson whose mom (my daughter) is an Art Teacher. They both enjoyed it especially the art activities suggestions.

Amazing art education resource!

Bought for grandchild aged 11, she cannot quite get to grips with it. S. Hunt

It’s good as an introduction to art forms. I had expected it to be a bit more detailed.

brief descriptions of techniques, practical, informative...very good overviews...grandchild, 8, loved it...

Bought for a present. Lovely book, great quality. Very pleased with purchase.

Again this was bought for someone else. It looked very appropriate for the age category.

Great for the budding little artist
