This new book in the 13 Series introduces young readers to a variety of important art techniques, explained through some of the world's most recognizable masterpieces. What's the difference between watercolor and gouache, or between a collage and an assemblage? How are frescoes and mosaics made? Why do prints look so different from each other? These questions and others are explored through major works of art in dazzling color reproductions. Children will learn about drawing through cave paintings and Leonardo's sketches, understand how Holbein and Van Gogh used oil paints to vastly different effect, and discover what Matisse accomplished with colored paper and a pair of sharp scissors. Along the way they will be encouraged to make their own masterpieces using similar techniques.

Would you like to learn about the history of art? Then 13 Art Techniques Children Should Know is a book for you!13 Art Techniques Children Should Know is about art techniques from around the world. There are instructions in the book on some of the techniques. For instance, the chapter "Burning the Midnight Oil" shows you how to put oil on the canvas.The good thing about this book is that it explains the art and has a timeline of when the art was made. It also has interesting facts. For instance, did you know that you can make watercolors from plants? This book tells you how.Because of the difficulty of the sentences, this book is best for boys and girls ages eight to adult.Madeleine L., age 7, Nebraska/Western Iowa Mensa
This is a lovely, informative book. Families and homeschoolers would definitely benefit from looking through and discussing each technique before a visit to the art museum! It gives children a fine overview of style and materials used in famous works of art. Even adults will find interesting ideas and facts that they did not know.I purchased this to give as a gift with an art kit. The book has exceeded my expectations! I have especially loved using the timelines that appear with each technique presented. It is a wonderful way to teach and understand where something is placed in history.The book is hardbound and nicely made. We do love this book and will use it for some time to come. I also plan to purchase other books in this series.
13 Art Techniques is a lovely book for adults. My two granddaughters have not looked at it; at 6 and 7, they are likely a bit young. I think this book, which briefly describes art techniques is a perfect coffee table edition. I myself have enjoyed reading it at nighttime--it is informative, but not exhaustive.
Great book to stimulate your child's art appreciation. I bought it for my 6 yr-old grandson whose mom (my daughter) is an Art Teacher. They both enjoyed it especially the art activities suggestions.
If your child is interested in art, this is a welcome introduction to 13 art techniques with examples of art works using the techniques. It is a useful overall survey of 13 techniques using a mix of medium and materials. It also introduces children to artists such as Durer, Michelangelo, DaVinci, Jackson Pollack and others. You and your child may want to try the techniques after reading this book.This book delves into how the techniques are used, what materials, where the techniques first developed and who made them popular. You will learn that fresco comes from the Italian word for "fresh" as they had to work quickly on a fresh medium. You see the evolution of art as artists got more experimental.It's a thought-provoking book which will kindle the interest of the young artist.
Love, love, love these books! The whole series is fabulous! My favorite so far is the art techniques one, but this one is right behind it.
My students love to read when they finish a project early and this is a great series of books for them to learn about art.
These are amazing books, will keep purchasing to have the set.
