Art For All Ages is a beautifully made art book. Contains a lot of information and looks like a good choice for every bookshelf.
As a -sometimes- watercolor artist I will remember this read. It's diverse and very well written.
Thank you so much.for this oportunity.

This book contains a a fairly extensive amount of art knowledge and activities to inspire your creative spirit! Over 20 individual activities are provided to help discover different styles of creativity.

After each activity there is a "Reflection Zone" with questions designed to encourage deeper thinking. I was impressed to see such a variety of activities included. It covers a variety of styles including water color, tempera paint, oil paint, pastel, sketching, collage and paper crafts.

I was really enjoyed this book. This would make an excellent gift for new or young artists.

I received this book from NetGalley and Independent Publishers Group for an honest review.

The art instruction book was very unique. It starts with the typical color theory. The unique portion was the discussion of learning styles and personality tests and how that relates to art.

I enjoyed some of the warm-up exercises. There was a broad range of projects. The still lives seemed to be overcrowded and some of the construction paper projectors were too childish for me.

I purchased this as an e-book. I was disappointed I was not able to bookmark or highlight in the text.

Art For All Ages is a philosophy and inspiration guide for finding or regaining a creative spirit and inspiration through guided activities. Released 7th Jan 2020, it's 192 pages and available in paperback and ebook formats.

This is an interesting book with specific exercises for tapping and improving creativity and making learning pleasurable and self rewarding. The introduction includes a very well written and accessible technical discussion of the stages of learning, different types of creativity, semiotics (universal symbols), and some very basic neurology as it relates to learning.

The following chapters contain specific guided exercises for unleashing innate creativity and allowing learning to be enthusiastic, pleasurable, and fun. Most of the exercises are accompanied by the basic theory behind the instruction as well as alternative parameters. Along with the education theory there is a lot of good practical content on tools, supplies, brush care, paint use and more.

There are many tutorials in the book color/symbol coded for the age groups for which they're appropriate. The activities have writing prompts to analyze and incorporate the learning (how did you feel, what did you think, what were you satisfied with... and such). There's also an abbreviated bibliography and links list along with some bonus activities like art parties, group activities such as making an art club, and more.

This would be a superlative text for educators, art therapists, child carers, parents, adult learners, journalers, and pretty much anyone who has felt stuck and blocked before (that's everyone, more or less). I loved the author's enthusiastic writing style and many of the tutorial activities were appealing and looked fun. The book is also well illustrated and very colorful.

Five stars.
