Description

Explore the work of world-famous artists in this bumper activity book that encourages children to develop their own art skills and techniques.

Get into Art explores a fascinating array of artistic works that bring to life animals, people, places and stories. The book features nearly 50 artworks plus information about the work and the artist, from Michelangelo's David to Edvard Munch's The Scream. Meet artists as diverse as Leonardo da Vinci, Henri Matisse and Andy Warhol, and learn about art movements like Surrealism and Impressionism. Then turn to the project section at the end of the chapter to discover an activity inspired by each artwork that you can try yourself.

Art projects are varied, intriguing and clearly explained and will act as a springboard for plenty of artistic experiments. This book is ideal for young artists who want to learn more about great artists from history while also honing their own artistic skills.
