About Make It Pop!: Activities And Adventures In Pop Art
Product Description Creative art ideas will make kids pop to it! The Art Explorers series offers a new approach to art, encouraging kids to interpret what they see in famous artworks, then try the techniques themselves. Make It Pop!: Activities and Adventures in Pop Art, the fourth book in the series, draws children into the lively, bold world of pop art by highlighting the work of six famous artists. From witty commentary on our culture by Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Johns, to one of Rauschenberg’s inspired combines, to soft sculpture by Oldenburg and a scene by Segal, each artist is represented by a famous artwork, paired with questions to get kids thinking about what they see. Easy-to-follow activities provide hands-on experience with the artist's techniques, subject, and media, each illustrated with examples by real kids. Packed with great art and great ideas, Make It Pop! lets kids understand art--and become artists themselves. • Interactive introduction to six famous artists: Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Claes Oldenburg, and George Segal • Hands-on approach to understanding great art • School budget cuts? Parents and teachers need Art Explorers—ideal for homeschoolers, too! From School Library Journal Grade 5–8—Raimondo introduces six prominent Pop artists—Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Claes Oldenburg, and George Segal. First she describes each man's creative technique, and then she invites readers to observe one of their well-known works by asking questions such as, "How do you think he used his brush?" Finally, she suggests projects that imitate the artists' methods. Most of the required materials can be found around the house or are readily available at a craft store, and written instructions for each project are easy to follow. The text is printed in a variety of fonts on brightly colored pages. Frequent words in bold and contrasting polygon text boxes might be distracting to some readers. Most of the illustrations are color photographs of art projects made by children and the author rather than pictures of the artists' works. Biographical information is limited to a paragraph about each artist on the final spread; as a result, this book doesn't stand alone as an introduction to the period, but is a good companion to more extensive overviews such as Anne Fitzpatrick's Late Modernism (Creative Education, 2005).— Donna Cardon, Provo City Library, UT Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
