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. Playful illustrations by Sue Downing appear
alongside photos of each artist's work, perfect for drawing in
readers age 8 and up. Following each case study, there is a
creative project that applies the science learning to the reader's
own art practice. Artists and science principles inside include:
