This new book in the 13 Series introduces young readers to a variety of important art techniques, explained through some of the world's most recognizable masterpieces. What's the difference between watercolor and gouache, or between a collage and an assemblage? How are frescoes and mosaics made? Why do prints look so different from each other? These questions and others are explored through major works of art in dazzling color reproductions. Children will learn about drawing through cave paintings and Leonardo's sketches, understand how Holbein and Van Gogh used oil paints to vastly different effect, and discover what Matisse accomplished with colored paper and a pair of sharp scissors. Along the way they will be encouraged to make their own masterpieces using similar techniques. Review: Kids Love learning all about art - I bought this for my grandkids, who come from 5 generations of artists. Shelby gets So excited when she sees Rockwell prints or a Van Gogh or a Georgia O Keefe bc at 7, she has learned about these artists & can pick out their work. It has inspired her to paint much more seriously. My 11 yr old grson could be a graphic designer already, but learning that diff artists have different styles has inspired him to find his own style. I see it enriching Their lives & I wish every child could have their own copy. I Highly recommend for anyone 5 or older. Review: Even adults can enjoy this one. - This is a lovely, informative book. Families and homeschoolers would definitely benefit from looking through and discussing each technique before a visit to the art museum! It gives children a fine overview of style and materials used in famous works of art. Even adults will find interesting ideas and facts that they did not know. I purchased this to give as a gift with an art kit. The book has exceeded my expectations! I have especially loved using the timelines that appear with each technique presented. It is a wonderful way to teach and understand where something is placed in history. The book is hardbound and nicely made. We do love this book and will use it for some time to come. I also plan to purchase other books in this series.

For older kids
13 Art Techniques is a lovely book for adults. My two granddaughters have not looked at it; at 6 and 7, they are likely a bit young. I think this book, which briefly describes art techniques is a perfect coffee table edition. I myself have enjoyed reading it at nighttime--it is informative, but not exhaustive.

Great book to stimulate your child's art appreciation. I bought it for my 6 yr-old grandson whose mom (my daughter) is an Art Teacher. They both enjoyed it especially the art activities suggestions.
