Book Reviews of Projection Art for Kids: Murals & Painting Projects for Kids of All Ages
Book Review: I followed the instructions and made a beautiful mural!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have no artistic training. Carefully following the instructions in this book, I was able to create an African savanna scene on the wall of my son's room, complete with acacia trees, life-size zebras, and elephants. It took a little practice (which I did on a closet wall where no one would see my mistakes). The projection stenciling technique is perfect for anyone wanting to create some great-looking mural-sized art. I do recommend buying a projector, as this makes it very easy to transfer the pictures in the book to your wall. The only reason I did not give this book 5 stars is because I found that the author's recommendation to use freezer paper with stenciling adhesive was very messy, difficult, and left adhesive on my wall that was difficult to remove. After some experimentation, I discovered that I could use white shelf paper (I used Henkel self-stick easy liner) for the projection stenciling technique, and it works perfectly, involves no mess or fumes, and peels cleanly from the wall when finished. All in all, a great book with some really nice project ideas.
