Likes: I used this with my third grade daughter. She enjoyed all the different projects because she got to use many different types of art supplies. She used clay, chalk, pastel, crayons, water colors, and several others.

The book was easy to use. Each lesson shows a work of art and how the artist created it. The lessons help the children to look in greater detail at the art work and learn the history behind it. Then, the children get to try to create something using a similar method. We had a lot of fun with little prep!

Dislikes: Some of the supplies used were difficult to find, but I did eventually find everything that we needed.
