An engaging tour through the ages, celebrating art from around the world. Follow a young artist as she questions what makes art, how to create it, and how long it takes. Her questions are answered by famous artists throughout history, from Frida Kahlo to the sculptors of the Temple of the Feathered Serpent, Chris Ofili to the Nazca Lines artists, Eric Carle to Alexandros of Antioch.
I loved the inclusion of more contemporary artists and the span of types of art included. There are painters, sculptors, and photographers who use stone, paint, cut paper, bottlecaps, items from nature, and more to create their art.
Bright, colorful, engaging illustrations. Includes a blurb about each artist and group at the back of the book.
A great book for talking about art and art history and to use as inspiration for creating your own masterpiece.
