Get into Art: Animals by Susie Brooks
Animals are a fantastic subject for artists, and they provide an excellent springboard for this handsome art inspiration and activity book. It includes examples of a variety of styles and techniques, featuring artists as diverse as Matisse, Miró, Escher, Degas, Warhol and Alexander Calder.
For each, you are treated to some biographical information about the artist along with a discussion of their style and an example of their art that features an animal. Then you are invited to create your own animal art in their style.
Techniques include collage, painting, paper models, stencilling and making totem poles. This is both an educational and creative resource for budding artists aged 7 and up. I loved it!
