Nifty Thrifty Art Crafts
Budding artists will create ten types of art from different countries and historical periods for next to nothing. Readers learn how to make everything from cave drawings to pointillism portraits using inexpensive materials found at home or in the classroom. They'll make a Jackson Pollock pencil holder, an American Indian textured pouch, or a sandpaper pyramid paperweight.
