Description

Fun and easy art-appreciation activities abound in this resource that features 75 American artists from colonial times to the present.

A brief biography for each artist tells why his or her work is important, and a kid-tested art activity tries out the artist's approach.

For Georgia O'Keeffe, the activity is a desert painting; for Frederic Remington, a face cast; for Leroy Nieman, a sketch of athletes; and for James Whistler, a clay engraving.

Projects stress the creative process and encourage kids to try unusual techniques such as block printing, soak-stain, and stone carving as they learn about architecture, drawing, painting, photography, and sculpture.

A resource guide provides a glossary of art terms, a list that groups the artists by style, a list of the artists' birthdays, an index of art supplies, and websites for viewing art online.
