I Heart Art Activity Books

Description

These unique activity books will expand your knowledge of art through reading and engaging in guided activities. One side of each page pair relays information about interesting topics and includes a colorful picture. On the opposite page are guided activities relating to the picture. For example, the museum book includes a brief description of over 30 museums across the U.S.A. followed by a picture of an item in the museum. You might read about a detailed painting of a woman holding a rooster, which gives clues about her life. The activity then asks you to draw your own portrait holding something that will give people a better understanding of yourself. Inside the architectural book is a brief description of Frank Lloyd Wright followed by a variety of his designs. One activity suggests filling in a blank floor plan adding furniture and labeling each room. In the Monet book you will find beautiful pictures such as The Artist's Garden in Argenteuil. The activity associated with the picture incorporates designing your own beautiful garden. The pages of these books are high quality, making them more durable to take on-the-go. No matter what age, these colorful books are an entertaining way to add art into your day. Each consumable book is 7"x 8 3/4"and includes approximately 64 pages. Non-reproducible. ~ Gina
