Primary "A creative, eye-catching illustrated cover will attract kids... the large print; softly colored, childlike drawings; and simple sentences are sure to keep them interested in pursuing art on their own. A "self-portrait" shows how position, figure, clothing, facial expressions, and hair are combined to create a lively piece of artwork. Materials needed are clearly labeled and accompanied by sharp color photos or neat sketches. In 3 easy steps, children... see how to use lines and shapes to draw faces, features, expressions, a figure drawing, or an astronaut. A trio of acrobats illustrates the concept of movement in art. Especially interesting is learning how to achieve various textures in a drawing (bumpy, rough, wrinkled... )... sure to please beginning artists." - School Library Journal, Apr/08.
