Authors and educators Maja Pitamic and Jill Laidlaw explore the stories and meanings behind 18 well-known works of modern art--including Frida Kahlo's <i>Self-portrait with Small Monkey</i>, Edvard Munch's <i>The Scream</i>, Jackson Pollock's <i>Lavender Mist</i>, and Banksy's <i>Flower--</i>giving readers inspiration for these kid-tested, exciting, and creative projects. Children create two artworks based on the techniques and visual effects of the each featured piece of art and the projects cover a wide range of media, from tissue paper mosaics to stencils to comic cut-outs, with a variety of difficulty levels, always encouraging and expanding the child's natural creative abilities. No prior knowledge of modern art is required, just enthusiasm for the subject and a willingness to discover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A standout resource for artists in the making." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><br>"A well-organized introduction to modern art concepts, perfect for classroom use." --<i>School Library Journal</i><br><br>"Maja Pitamic and Jill Laidlaw make sure the entire process is meaningful and fun, and the finished product is something a kid can be proud of." --<i>BookPage</i><br><br>"The bottom line is every child deserves to be exposed to art and <i>Modern Art Adventures</i> is a wonderful way to accomplish that.
