Background on our unique Add-Art

Our favorite children seem to get bored with coloring books after a page or two.  We're always finding ways to add something special to a drawing.  It makes the project a more exciting experience.  On our Add-Art pages we try to suggest something with pizzazz!  Like our children, we're inspired by contemporary and traditional arts, mixed-media & various approaches to art including collage & assemblage.  Before you decide this sounds too "artsy"  -- wait!   Read on....

"Assemblage" is perfect for kids. According to Webster's, it is "a work of art produced by organizing or composing into a unified whole a group of unrelated and often fragmentary or discarded objects" -- perfect for kids & so cutting-edge.

BTW: "collage" is "technique of composing a work of art by pasting on a surface various materials not normally associated with one another, as newspaper clippings or parts of photographs" & "mixed-media" is "artistic media used in combination in a single work."
