OMG, I love this and the small pieces of information provided. I also love the different activities for each artist and the linking in back- I especially loved the Van Gogh part!!!

This is a great resource for teachers, librarians, camp counselors, etc. to have on hand when teaching about art and culture. Each vignette introduces a famous artist and their style of art, as well as a bit of the history and philosophy behind this style of art. Then there is an opportunity for students to create art in the style that they learned about. This would be a great book to work through, or use as a jumping off point. I will highly recommend it to all who work with children.

The pictures are colorful, and the examples are clear, easy to follow, and allow both the process of creating the art and a beautiful product to keep.

Thank you to Netgalley for the copy of this title for review.

A book with easy to follow and inexpensive projects that teach children styles and techniques of real historical artists like Andy Warhol and Frida Kahlo and gives summaries of different art movements that match the projects.

This is a beautifully designed book. It has a lot of information about different artists from the past. There is also a creative activity paired with each artist. A useful guide for teaching children about art.

Loved this book! The history is so easy to understand and I appreciate the artists they chose. The activities are wonderful! Fun gift!

This is a quick guide on some famous modern artists and some of their most well known works. This also provides a fun aspect for kids as each artist inspired a creative activity for kids to turn these famous artists' work their own.

This book is perfect for homeschooling. It goes over different types of art , an artist that uses that style., and a project. Highly recommend!

I’ve never seen my daughter (9) so enthusiastic about art! She jumped straight into making the crafts and was able to complete the Monet water lilies by herself, she then ran out to the garden to collect pebbles for the Cezanne activity! I loved how we had most of the items around the house already. A lovely informative book with crafts for all ages, thank you Netgalley!

Modern Art for Kids provides a brief history of featured artists and fun art projects highlighting a variety of art styles. This book has excellent art project ideas to work on with children.

I love the connections to famous artists, ease rating in projects and the inclusion of multimedia projects. As an educator, I particularly liked tips at the start of the book, that encourage the process of art over the product. I personally would have liked more open ended ideas art ideas.

A great book for those interested in art and wanting to share I with their kids. There are several artists featured throughout the book. A brief history is given along with some background on their type of art and one or two fun activities to help kids practice the type of art featured. My only takeaway would be that I wish there were pictures of the artwork of the featured artist instead of abstract background art.

This is such a fantastic, accessible art book for children! It strikes the perfect balance between being informative and educational about artists throughout history to now, instructional ‘how to’s and the freedom of creativity. The projects are easy to follow, have helpful photographs, and don’t require specialist equipment - they all use the bits and bobs we have readily available at home!
Would definitely recommend.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – Quarry and Netgalley for an eARC of this book to read and review.

Loved this book which covers Modern Art movements and some of the famous artists within each camp. This book will educate and excite young artists and parents alike. Simple projects and instructions follow each section and illuminate the concepts presented in the chapters:
Impressionism
Post-Impressionism
Vienna Secession
Fauvism
Orphism
Futurism
Dadaism
De Stijl
Surrealism
Abstract Expressionism
Pop Art
Minimalism

I thought I knew a lot about art, but I learned several terms I wasn’t familiar with( Vienna Secession and Orphism). My only comment is that the Cubism movement is not covered in this text.

Highly recommended for anyone who shares art with children.

This is a fun and engaging book, well suited tor older children (Im guessing aged 9+). It is based on the work of the masters and is, as such, pretty informative!

The art types are iconic and instantly recognisable.

Helpfully, a list of what is required for each project is given - very helpful as I feel that getting organised is one of my biggest barriers when it comes to crafting with kids at home.

I love the flower crown activity and am looking forward to trying this out!

My thanks to NetGalley, author and publisher for the opportunity to review this book in exchange for an advance copy.

Stephanie Ho Poon has penned the art book for children that art teachers didn’t know they needed. Starting with Impressionism and going through to Minimalism, Poon lays out more than a century of modern art in a way completely comprehensible to even 4- and 5-year-olds! Each movement features a representative artist or two and — best of all — an art project, often titled “Let’s Get Messy!” What a delight! The projects range from painting to collage to a Dream Box to a 3-D Frida flower crown to lollipops to even screen printing. Fabulous for parents and art teachers alike.

In the interest of full disclosure, I received this book from NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group – Quarry and Quarry Books in exchange for an honest review.

Excellent book to teach children about art history. Every grandparent should buy this book for their grandchildren. Start them young to learn about creativity and the wonderful artists we are honored to observe in our generation. The hands on approach to create a craft allows the children to relate to the artist in a memorable way.

This is exactly what I thought it was going to be plus some. It has nice pictures and thought out ways to make art. Definitely a good book for teachers and even parents of younger children.

This was a great book for our young minds to explore art and creativity. It had fun easy activities to take part in. Full of beautiful full color photography and craft projects it will be sure to excite your little imaginations minds!

This beautifully illustrated book is perfect for teaching children art history. It contains a lot of information about the different art movements and combines it with fun activities.

I loved art throughout grade school and this book took me back. You will learn about famous artist and have a fun takeaway art project. This would work great for an art teacher or homeschool set. Very educational, easy to follow art projects with step by step guides. A lot of materials are needed that would require going to an art store or ordering to get.
