Award-Winning Art Activity Books

Welcome to Bright Ring Publishing and the fun-filled world of process art! Crayons, clay, fingerpaints, cookie sheets, milk cartons, and music are among the many ingredients that go into our imaginative art projects for kids.

The art projects in these award-winning books by MaryAnn Kohl allow children to explore the many facets of their world through art as a process, not just as a product.

It is this process of exploring and creating, rather than the finished product, that is most important for the young artist. Our art activities leave room for the artist to use imagination and exploration, keys to creativity.

We hope the art ideas in these books will inspire all of our readers to carry art in their hearts as they grow and develop, for you are already great artists in every sense of the word!

Note from a reader: "Please send my thanks onto MaryAnn Kohl for this book....where was I for the past 7 years without this book while I've struggled through coming up with "another art project"...until I opened this book today. I can't wait to get back to school and try many of these ideas for our 4 yr. old class. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I think you've changed my life (at least during class and during the school year)!!"
