Using Art to Make Art

Rating:
Summary: Excellent resource!
Review: This is a great resource for any art teacher! After teaching elementary art for five years, I was looking for new ideas and new approaches to favorite artists... this book has them! Each artist has a short biography and several projects based on his/her work. The projects are easily adaptable for any grade/skill level. The color examples of the projects are wonderful. I can't wait to try more of the projects with my students!

Summary: Make Your Own Masterpieces from the Masters
Review: Using Art To Make Art is a useful hands-on guide to inspire any artist of any age. Wendy Libby is a masterful art teacher who has won the Art Teacher of the Year Award and has earned it. This book is useful not only to art educators but to parents and children as well. Two paintbrushes up to Ms. Libby for making an easy to understand art appreciation workbook. Her perserverence in getting the permisson and researching such masters such as Matisse et al., is no small feat. Ms. Libby should be commended. I give this book not only a 5 star rating but also "two-paintbrushes-up". Congratulations Wendy for your gift to us.
