Experience how art meets science, from the earliest cave paintings
to today's advanced tech - and meet the innovative artists behind
it all! In Art Alive! with Science, award-winning author Mary Auld
explores moments from art history that have expanded our
understanding of the way things work, such as the beautiful balance
of forces in kinetic sculpture, the interplay of light and shadow
in painting and puppetry and how Op Art tricks our brains and plays
with our senses. Following each case study of astounding
innovation, there is a creative project that applies the scientific
learning to the reader's own art practice. The unique art style of
illustrator Sue Downing is sure to draw in young artists,
especially alongside the photos of each artist's work and
contribution to the timeline of innovation. Perfect for children
age 8 and up. Artists and science principles inside include:
