art projects that will draw out each young artist as they discover
their style, document their thoughts, and build confidence in their
unique perspective. Each lesson asks questions and offers personal
choices while encouraging diverse approaches and creative thinking.
One of the most important gifts we can give children is to nurture
their creativity and allow them to express themselves freely.
There's no better way to express yourself than through creative art
projects. This is especially true for children because it gives
them an outlet to explore their developing interests and strengths.
The Colorful Beasts project, which incorporates discussion of
endangered animals with the Blue Rider art movement, asks children
to use torn colored tissue paper and glue to create an expressive
representation of a favorite vulnerable animal. In I Built This
City, children imagine and build their own cityscape using columns
of newspaper text to make buildings on top of a watercolor painted
background, and detailed with marker. Many projects include varying
examples and executions of the activity to illustrate and reinforce
the open-ended nature of the labs, inspiring children to embrace
and share their own voice. Give children the great gift of creative
self-exploration with Art Lab for Kids: Express Yourself. The
popular Lab for Kids series features a growing list of books that
share hands-on activities and projects on a wide host of topics,
including art, astronomy, clay, geology, math, and even how to
create your own circus-all authored by established experts in their
fields. Each lab contains a complete materials list, clear
step-by-step photographs of the process, as well as finished
samples. The labs can be used as singular projects or as part of a
yearlong curriculum of experiential learning. The activities are
open-ended, designed to be explored over and over, often with
different results. Geared toward being taught or guided by adults,
they are enriching for a range of ages and skill levels. Gain

and a museum label, plus a brochure of instructions, photographs
and information about the design.
