ARTistic Pursuits Early Elementary K-3 Book Three, Modern Painting and Sculpture (ARTistic Pursuits)

by Brenda Ellis Author

(From Amazon): This book explores ideas that help students understand why modern art looks so different from earlier works and guides them to create meaningful art from their own experiences and ideas. Focus is given to those artworks and movements that had great influence on our culture. The artists featured give positive and creative messages in their art making this a tasteful introduction to modern art that is perfect for young students. This book is a continuation of the art history section of Artistic Pursuits Early Elementary K-3, Book Two, Stories of Artists and Their Art, and it can be used independently. Parents simply read the text, while engaging their child in the discussion questions provided beside the Master works by Degas, Monet, and others. Children use traditional methods for creating sculptures: modeling, carving, and construction, as well as modern techniques: assemblages and land art. The author includes a helpful section for parents explaining the larger context of modernism so that parents are enabled to judge modern art for themselves and can guide their children through the maze of modern images and motives. This book provides lessons for the completion of twenty-four finished two-dimensional works on paper and twelve three-dimensional sculptures that are original and wholly the child's own. "I love the artwork that has resulted from using this book! This is not baby stuff. (I'm) proud to display everything they create while studying art with ARTistic Pursuits." Homeschool Parent - Heather Randall / Oklahoma "This book does a phenomenal job of combining art appreciation, artist study, art exploration, and history, all in an easy to understand and teach way. The lessons are short and to the point, but pack a punch and we love them!" - Homeschool Parent - Tiffany Manley / Alabama
