Be a Creative Changemaker: A Kids' Art Activity Book introduces kids to 25 amazing artists through their biographies and hands-on activities inspired by their work.

Art Workshop for Children is not just another book of straightforward art projects. The book's unique child-led approach provides a framework for cultivating creative thinking and encourages the wonder that comes when children are allowed to freely explore the creative process and their materials. As children work through these open-ended workshops, adults are guided on how to be facilitators who provide questions, encourage deep thinking, and help spark an excitement for discovery. Children explore basic materials and workshops that use minimal supplies, and then gradually add new materials to fill the art cabinets as well as new skills and more complex workshops. Most workshops are suitable to preschool-aged children, and each contains ideas for explorations and new twists to engage older or more experienced artists. Interspersed throughout are sidebar essays that introduce perspectives on mess-making, imperfection, the role of adult, collaborative art, and thoughts on the Reggio Emilia method, a self-guided teaching philosophy. These pieces underscore the value of art-making with children, and support the parent/teacher/care-giver on how to successfully lead, question, and navigate their children through the workshops to result in the fullest experiences.

Showcases 500 art ideas for parents, teachers and kids. Each project features an image and a list of materials.

Each masterpiece is the foundation of art projects. Using a variety of mediums, the outlined activities help guide children through the process of creating their own "masterpiece" from what they see in each work. It is for the art lover, the creative thinker, the parent or classroom leader who desires to encourage creativity in children as well as an appreciation for the masters.This is a great resource and will provide hours of interesting activity.
