They're easy to follow, full of images, and directed at open-ended exploration - exactly the kind of reference I need for my own busy home." <i><b>- Meghan Burch, Art Studio Educator, The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, Amherst, MA</b></i><br><br>"Schwake combines 32 3-D art projects with interviews with four artists, each of whom is photographed. The first two chapters give general instructions for setting up for each project, providing an exhaustive list of materials needed. The subsequent five chapters each focus on a single medium: paper, clay, textiles, sculpture, and jewelry. The six relatively simple paper projects use mostly found bits of paper. The seven clay objects range in size and difficulty but require a kiln. The six textile projects use fabric, yarn, or jute. The eight sculptures require corrugated cardboard, papier-mché goo, plaster, pasteboard, or joint compound. Finally, the five jewelry projects are made with paper, card stock, or various types and sizes of beads. Instructions are always detailed, both through step-by-step photographs of children making each object and the detailed text. This well-written book with myriad color illustrations is a must-have for art teachers or those who help children appreciate art and artists." <i><b>- Booklist </b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Susan Schwake</b> is an artist, art educator, and curator.
