This book is the perfect guide for all young budding artists. The Beginner's Fun Book of Art Skills is a great way to start learning about the concepts involved in drawing, from colouring techniques and shapes to shading and erasing. It's packed with simple step by step illustrations and tips on artistic techniques using a variety of materials such as wax crayons, coloured pencils and ink. With 'splat-a-facts,' which give information about what's being drawn, this book acts as a creative spark, setting off a child's imagination so that they can confidently sketch and scribble animals and characters in their own scenes. Topics range from prehistoric dinosaurs to graceful ballerinas and from whimsical princesses to wild safari animals. Drawing and scribbling at a pre-school age builds skills that make creativity fun!
