Personal Review: The Kids Multicultural Art Book: Art & Craft
Experiences from Around the World (Williamson Kids Can!
Series) by Alexandra M. Terzian
This is another excellent art book in the "A Williamson Kids Can! Book"
series. I have several in the series, all of which have provided me many
ideas for my students' art projects. I have used this particular book least
however, because the projects are more complicated than the other books,
and require more adult intervention, especially with younger children. It's
advertised as for ages 4-8, but for children to work more independently, I
recommend most projects as suitable for ages 7-13. Materials include
paper, aluminum foil, yarn, salt dough, yarn, popsicle sticks, mud, paper
plates, papier mache. There are recipes included for the papier mache
and salt dough. The projects represent the following cultures: Native
American, Latin American, African, Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean,
Thai and Vietnamese. None are very authentic, but are good simulations
of arts from these cultures, and can enhance cultural studies, or be done
just for fun. One project I have returned to several times because of it's
ease to do, and because of its attractive artistic results is the Guatemalan
Wild Cat.
