This is a fun book! Its hard to decide which project to do next. There are SO many fun and creative ideas in this book for making unique multi-dimensional, cards and other art projects that move. Clear directions and colorful artwork images really help get the creative juices flowing.I've been sharing a book with my kids. We're ordering another so my daughter has her own copy. We especially like the large variety of artists' examples offered in the book to inspire us!

The person who said she learned nothing from this book could not have read it. The projects are all new, I have seen them in no other book and I have a lot of books. Kim is inventive and unique, and personally, I think almost anyone who journals or make books will find something to use here. Go for it!

I heard about this workbook from another group of artists. It was all they promised and better. The projects are unique, the examples come from lots of different artists and are diverse and interesting. A good resource!

I received this book as a gift from a special friend. I am a young mother and appreciate all the character and special touches this book has to offer. I have done many little scraps of art but had little ideas of how to add a unique and intriguing feel to it. Now with all of the ideas I can add many features to my simple art to give it the spice it needs!Making art that moves not only catches the viewers eyes but keeps them focused on the different aspects that is the art itself. This is something I am still trying to get a hang of.I would also like to say that this book also has a touch of antique beauty to it! For those of you who like to make the old look new and the new look old, this is a great asset for you!Kim is a great and inspiring individual! I am proud own any work she has done and hope that her work continues!!

When buying a book on-line, you gotta go by what little info offered and you really have to judge a book by the cover. I thought this book was like no other I had seen as soon as I got it in my hands. Interesting spin (no pun intended)It's a good book if you want to ad something different and fun to your art.Reminds me of a Monty Python cartoon

Kim Rae Nugent has some really fun ideas in here. It brings me back to childhood when making art in school. I think we all need to find our inner child. Easy to follow and apply you own ideas to the projects. I loved seeing everybodys use of the techniques. Seeing others artists work inspires me. Loved this book.

This book has my brain spinning! (I think I just picked the first project from the book to use in my journal!) Kim's book has so many creative and fun ideas that add surprise and whimsy. I loved how the book plays off of our childhood nostalgia for interactive books and toys and then applies the concept to our modern journals. The book certainly demystifies how to add moving parts to a project. AND, a big round of applause to the book designer... the book is beautifully designed too!

I love this book! I Have tried the various activities and the directions and ideas are stimulating! I highly recommend this book!

Goodness knows how many paper collage & assemblage books are now being cranked out, and I try to keep up with them all and so get tired of seeing the same thing over and over again. So I was happy to read Interactive Art Workshop and actually get some fun NEW ideas that I hadn't seen everywhere else. The best part is that these techniques can be applied to just about any paper or book arts project and don't demand you do exactly what the author is doing. Kim Rae Nugent encourages you to take her ideas and run with them!

Interactive Art WorkshopWe all have those favorite children's books that allow us to play along, to take an active part in the story, or the greeting cards that encouraged us to have a role in making them come to life. Interactive Art Workshop explains the mysteries of "how'd they do that" and provides the reader/artist with a plethora of examples of talented artists putting their spin on the adult version of those interactive mysteries, adding both humor and wit to the element of surprise.Kim has provided ample photos of works in progress to help answer those questions the visual learner is often left with when `reading the directions'. My only regret is not being able to manipulate and interact with all the wonderful examples. I look forward to Kim providing that opportunity in her hands-on workshops.As an adult learner and instructor, I find a multitude of projects for all ages, great fun ahead for everyone.

projects, each with a unique interactive element ranging from paper wheels, to fully functioning pull tabs, to flapping doors and slide ..
