"Susan Schwake's Art for All Seasons, her newest volume of
art activities, follows in her tradition of studio art based art
education for children. This book presents high quality art
experiences inspired by contemporary artists that leads
to the creation of relevant and significant artwork, easily
adapted for children of all ages. The foundation of the
seasons and nature adds another layer of relevancy and
meaning to the creative experience.
Art for All Seasons is another important contribution to the
literature of meaningful art making for children."
