Great American Artists for Kids (2008) is written in the tradition of Kohl's other best-selling art books, that is, it values the child's unique creativity, individual discovery, and joyful exploration of art. We often say "Process, not Product", but the activities presented are also satisfying to create and to view when complete. Each art project is all new and uses common materials and art supplies like paint and glue. The most exciting aspect of the book is that it is packed with full color images of great masterpieces by great artists -- and also by amazing children! (And kept at a reasonable price!) Full color images have been requested by many of Kohl's readers, and so she challenged herself and made it happen. Over 75 artists are featured, and the color examples of their art is fabulous. MaryAnn Kohl's website has sample pages you can download, as well as a full 'click-to list' of masterpieces for each of the 75 artists. Go to: www.brightring.com/greatamericanartists.html.
Everyone who has seen this book says it has a really special spark. The quality of the art projects for kids and the beautiful art-gloss paper and full color art masterpieces is a welcome addition to the genre of art activity books for children.
