Distinctive examples from around the world are featured in Models which explains the significance of each model in its culture. Young readers are shown how to make models using clay, salt dough, wood, fabric, papier m'ch?, and recycled materials from around the house. Crafts include: - Native North American kachina dolls - a toy theater - Japanese lucky cat money boxes - African nkondes, or two-headed hunters
This book is easy to understand, has great examples of kid art, and also shows inspiring selections from museum collections. There are sections showing projects done in plaster, papier mache,salt dough,cardboard,and sewing. Some of the examples are peddler doll, kachina doll,peruvian retablos,doll house,and a toy stage. There is a nice blend between what the famous example is on one page and then a kid creation on the next. We found it very motivational.
