Why You Will Like This Book
If you are studying or teaching elementary art or are a parent with a creative artistic child, you will appreciate Sabbeth's, Crayons and Computers.

Synopsis
Crayons and Computers combines two things kids love to do--work with the computer and make art projects. This book is particularly useful for the elementary classroom teacher. There is a comparison of basic software tools and options, suggestions for using the Crayons and Computers with other curriculum, complete directions for the projects including a full-color picture of the finished artwork. Many of the projects are based upon the styles of famous artists. Children are able to learn about the artist's unique style by using the computer to create a project in that style.
