Re-create Mother Nature's beautiful designs on the wings of butterflies with this kit from Balitono. It includes 4-inch wooden butterflies that can be used as refrigerator magnets, hanging sculptures, window decorations, and toy treasures. The kit offers three butterflies, nontoxic acrylic paints in five colors, shiny varnish, and a paintbrush. Each figure also comes with a press-on magnet, hanging accessories, a suction cup (for window use), and a small gift tag. An easy-to-follow instruction sheet includes compelling facts about the nature of butterflies. Colorful illustrations on the box show a wide variety of butterflies young artists might like to paint. A coded diagram inside identifies each species by name. Children may want to give these items as gifts, use them to decorate their rooms, or simply use them in creative play. --Joan DeClaire

Hand-carved by Balinese artisans, this 8.75-by-5.75-by-2-inch butterfly-shaped box of plantation fruitwood offers a satiny finish, smooth curves, and detailing helpful to the young crafter's hand. The kit includes a box, adhesive felt liner, six acrylic paints, glitter glaze, varnish, paintbrush, tips on mixing paints to create additional colors, and facts about butterflies. One of the six painted versions on the package can be followed exactly, or can simply be used as a guideline to determine design and color direction. --Ava Natov

Painting

Drawing

Sculpture
|
|
|
Painting is the practice
of applying pigment suspended in a carrier
(or medium) and a binding agent (a glue)
to a surface (support) such as paper, canvas
or a wall.
|
|
|
Drawing is one of many
ways to making an image; it is the process
of making marks on a surface by applying
pressure from or moving a tool on the surface.
These marks may represent what the artist
sees when drawing, a remembered or imagined
scene or abstraction.
|
|
|
Sculpture is any three-dimensional
form created as an artistic expression.
Sculpture is primarily concerned with space:
occupying it, relating to it, and influencing
the perception of it.
