Parent Prep

No preparation is necessary. The book can be read cold. However, a parent could enhance the experience by having a sketchbook and pencils ready so the child can immediately try the techniques. It could also be fun to look up the featured artists online to see more of their work and provide broader context. A parent sees their child getting frustrated while drawing, saying something like, "I want to make the path look like it's going far, far away, but it just looks flat!" Or, the parent notices their child spending hours creating detailed maps or cityscapes and wants to give them tools to expand their skills.
