The 50 Fantastic Ideas Inspired by Famous Artists use well-known artworks as visual inspiration to develop expressive art and design skills in early education. It's now easier to access art online and bring inspired pieces into your setting without needing to purchase cards or visit a gallery. Using online resources, Judith Harries presents 50 ideas featuring a variety of artists, from Lubaina Himid and Friedensreich Hundertwasser to Mary Delany and Picasso, including pop art and street art, sculptures, and portraits.
Using art materials that are easily found both inside and outside the classroom, such as paints, clay, tubes, and natural resources like leaves and flowers, the interactive activities included in this book are perfect for inspiring creativity and fun at the same time!
