Easy-to-follow activities provide hands-on experience with the artist's techniques, subject and media, each illustrated with examples by real children. Packed with great art and great activities, this series lets kids understand art and encourages them to become artists themselves.Joyce Raimondo, the author of all of the books in the "Art Explorers" series, worked at The Museum of Modern Art in New York for eight years.
