Jump start artist - Grades K-3 - Top Software

Instructor,  Jan-Feb, 2002  by Warren Buckleitner,  Ann Orr

The five engaging activities on this CD playfully present artistic concepts such as line, texture, shape, form and lighting. In a concentration game, correct matches of artistic elements are rewarded with images of great works by world-famous artists. There's also an open-ended art area with tools that include paint, chalk, needlepoint patterns, and tissue paper. An invention game lets kids make creations from a variety of lines and shapes. There's also a fun theater in which children's artwork "comes to life" in a movie. Weaknesses include overly chatty characters and confusing menus. Reader Service No. 80
