Art for kids and adults

The books suggest this series for infants to 3, but we find that our 3 yr. old grandson responds better now than when he was younger. We love these books.

Just Right

Finally, a children's art book that is printed well. Most kids art books are printed on cheap paper and full of cartoons. They miss the point. Visual Art is all about the nuances of color and light. That means glossy paper and good print job. This book goes beyond that - it is bound on carboard with smudge proof coatings. Perfect for small hands.Important! Kids need to be exposed to art before they enter the verbal world of school where visual skills and gifts are not only ignored - they are punished. Open their hearts to the emotion and freedom of visual expression early, and keep it up despite the verbal limitations of public school. Your visual kids need it for their soul as well as their creativity. And, even though the schools don't know it, or forgot it, kids exposed to art will do better in all other disciplines. For the kind of perfected art in these books is the result of hard work and self discipline as well as skill, inspiration and creativity.
