Art Recipes defies taking excerpts because it tells how in two languages, Ukrainian and English, and it illustrates how with excellent pictures of the children creating their art and their delightful pieces. What follows is part of the index of 20 pieces, and the description of the major contributors to the book.

Some of the things you and your children will see and learn to do are:
