See the world through Louise Bourgeois' eyes and be inspired to
produce your own masterpieces. Have you ever wondered exactly what
your favourite artists were looking at to make them draw, sculpt,
or paint the way they did? In this charming illustrated series of
books to keep and collect, created in full collaboration with The
Metropolitan Museum of Art, you can see what they saw, and be
inspired to create your own artworks, too. In What the Artist Saw:
Louise Bourgeois, meet the famous French-American painter,
printmaker and sculptor. Step into her life and learn what led her
to explore her fears and emotions through her art. Learn all about
her family and what inspired her to create her large spider
sculptures. Have a go at producing your own art inspired by your
dreams! In this series, follow the artists' stories and find
intriguing facts about their environments and key masterpieces.
Then see what you can see and make your own art. Take a closer look
at landscapes, or even yourself, with Vincent van Gogh. Try
crafting a story in fabric like Faith Ringgold, or carve a
woodblock print at home with Hokusai. Every book in this series is
one to treasure and keep - perfect for budding young artists to
explore exhibitions with, then continue their own artistic
journeys. (c) The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Your tour guide will show you how different artists can look at one
thing - like a horse - and have totally different visions. These
different visions create ART. And this is a book that canters
through the whole of art history, explaining the puzzling and
imaginative thing we call 'art'. With reproductions of over thirty
iconic pieces of artwork - from Pablo Picasso to Edouard Manet,
Rene Magritte, Susan Rothenberg, Jackson Pollock, and many more.
This is an exhibition you won't want to miss! Based on a
newly-discovered manuscript and sketches from Dr. Seuss, and
brought to life by acclaimed illustrator Andrew Joyner, this is a
thoroughly Seussian exploration of 'art'. With cameo appearances
from beloved Dr. Seuss characters, such as the Cat in the Hat, this
playful picture book is totally unique. Ideal for home or classroom
use, this book will inspire Seuss fans, artists, and horse lovers -
of all ages.
