Synopsis
Scribble Art by MaryAnn Kohl is a creative collection of over 200 fun, easy, and open-ended independent art experiences for kids of all ages. The Art exploration projects are suitable for school, home, childcare, home school, preschool, libraries, museums
Description
“Scribble Art” is the completely revised edition of the original work, “Scribble Cookies.” The new edition, “Scribble Art” includes projects of Marbling, tissue glass, salt watercolor, arm dancing, wire sculpture and many more. Ms. Kohl writes in her introduction that “there is no right or wrong way to create. …Feel free to encounter any art experience without a set of rules or expectations for outcomes!” With this philosophy the art instructions are easy to follow and suggest variations with which to experiment. There is the sense of making each project fun, not a perfect end product. All instructions are in black and white. This might be a disappointment to some readers, but perhaps Ms. Kohl does not want to influence the artist with her choice of color. As with other Kohl activity books the materials required are often available household items. Icons on every page suggest for the project the time requirement, the level of experience, which art medium is used, the adult help required. The author has also chosen several art projects as her favorite.
Why I chose this book
I like Ms. Kohl’s philosophy and hope by offering this book at Nana’s Books for Kids I help spread her belief. She writes, “there is no right way or wrong way for your art idea to turn out; there is only your way. I've seen eyes light up time and time again as young artists realize that creativity is not a rigid science but rather is a process with no one to judge the experience but themselves. Remember, Process Not Product!”
