Synopsis:

The Art Explorers series offers a new approach to art, encouraging children to interpret what they see in famous artworks, and then try the techniques themselves. Whats the Big Idea? Activities and Adventures in Abstract Art, the fifth book in the series, draws children into the intriguing, involving world of abstract art by highlighting the work of six famous artists. Each artist is represented by a famous artwork, paired with questions to get children thinking about what they see. Easy-to-follow activities provide hands-on experience with the artists 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.
