Modern Art Adventures

Modern art is bold, experimental and not concerned with rules - in other words, perfect for children who love to draw outside the lines.

Explore the world of modern art with your child through the introduction to 18 favourite - and very different - works of art, from Monet's famous water-lilies to the Street artist Roa's towering birds.  Taking these masterpieces as inspiration, Modern Art Adventures offers fun art projects in painting, drawing, printmaking, collage and mixed media.

Children will:

• Make a Pocket Mondrian
• Create a Cubist portrait in the style of Picasso
• Compose a paint drip picture after Pollock's Lavender Mist
• Create a bookmark based on Beardsley's illustrations
• Draw a Lichtenstein-style dot picture
• Design a reusable flower stencil inspired by Banksy's Flower
• And many more!

Experienced authors and educators, Pitamic and Laidlaw will encourage your budding artist to explore their creative abilities and have lots of fun along the way.
