Some berries are comparatively dry and the liquid they do have might not be coloured with a lot pigment within the first place.

Reconnect to nature through natural art
Nick Neddo has created a beautiful book of reconnecting to nature through the use of art. His book has projects ranging from simple to complex and are inspirational and exciting. It is perfect for both kids (with some adult supervision) and adults alike. It is so important for kids and adults to play in nature, develop hand-eye coordination and spark their creative side, which this book definitely will do so!I love how Nick covers different aspects of the art creation process ranging from paint brush making, paint creation, mixed media arts, stamps, land art and more! He also includes snippets of historical facts and tips that are relevant each project, which I found very interesting. There is also recognition of nature awareness and invasive species management, which I appreciated. I also enjoyed that Nick encourages exploration and experimentation throughout the book.I definitely recommend this book for all ages for artistic exploration and nature connection. I will be using these techniques in my own practices and this book as a reference for art nature activities with children and friends.

Fantastic Introduction To The Natural Arts!

I found the aspect I fell in love the most with to be that, while Nick’s approach to the content of the book is easy and approachable enough for children to enjoy, it’s a veritable treasure trove that will connect people of all ages to the art of creating with the natural world. I personal don’t have any children but exploring the author’s new book has definitely brought out my childish desire to experiment and explore in nature! A book I will reference quite often, that’s for sure! Wonderful job!

Wish It Had Samples of Childrenâs Art Instead
I own and have read his first book, The Organic Artist, which was published for adults. I love that book. I find this book for kids to be very inspirational and the photographs are beautiful. My only issue that brings the star rating down to a four for me is that the publisher chose to use the gorgeous artwork done by the author for examples of how to use the materials. The artist / author is very talented but in books for children it would be better to show an example of something achievable for a child, there should be actual artwork done by children in the book.ThIs book tells you how to make the materials and how to use them but it doesnât illustrate a project that can be done at a childâs level or even a beginner teen or adult level. Therefore if an adult is going to use this book as a basis for creating lessons for classes, they will have to make up their own projects and make their own samples of beginner level work. The amazing art in this book can be intimidating to beginners and of course children so I would not want kids to see the samples in the book or most would feel inadequate and scared to play with the materials and to make newbie level artworks.My opinion is based on the fact that I am an amateur artist who has no issue with making my own bad art at the learning phase but I have worked with kids who turn off when they judge themselves or fear criticism from peers pr their teacher. Iâm a certified art teacher for pre-K through grade 12. Rating 4 stars = Like It.

A must have addition to any science, art or homeschooling curriculum.
As an art educator and certified naturalist, I am always looking for ways to incorporate nature and environmental awareness into the art studio for my students. I first came to know Neddoâs work by way of the National Art Education Associationâs yearly convention whereby one of the workshops I attended highlighted Neddoâs first book, The Organic Artist. From there, I designed a STREAM course for my middle schoolers, Art Lab, which incorporated many of the informative concepts and recipes for making natural art materials. However, I have to say that Neddoâs new book, The Organic Artist for Kids, is even more wonderful for those who want to bring nature inside or for those who practice making art outside. It is a perfect use alone or supplement to any earth science, art, or homeschool curriculum. His knowledge of materials is extensive. The easy to follow instructions are doable with the addition of common substances readily available. PLUS, Neddo is most aware of presenting non-toxic and earth friendly ideas for creating art. Painting and printing with beets is even edible! This book is a keeper and stands out in my library of eco-friendly art explorations.

I loved the Organic Artist and now I LOVE Organic Artist for Kids. An gorgeous book to inspire us all to be a little kinder to the planet, and a reminder of the beauty, colours and textures within the natural world. Not a bit of plastic, glitter or manufactured paint in sight! Highly recommended for teachers and parents.
