This highly collaborative game provides players with a framework that makes creating art fun and easy. The playful, structured approach eliminates the second-guessing and inhibitions that get in the way of many an aspiring young artist. The package comes loaded with high quality art supplies - paints, pastels, various types of paper, glitter, glue, scissors, paint brush - along with a color wheel and several decks of cards. The first player flips the top card from each of the decks. These determine whether that player will be drawing, painting, or collaging, as well as the location on the page to work and what types of shapes to explore. The color wheel and a roll of the die determine the color, and the player sets to work creating. The next player continues on the same sheet of paper, guided by the randomness of the cards he or she flipped for that turn. These ever-changing additions to the artwork enrich and substantially alter the look and feel of what went before. The result is often beautiful. More importantly, the process is never less than pleasurable.
