This second book in the Art Explorers series introduces kids to the world of impressionism, featuring the art of five famous impressionist artists:

  • Claude Monet,
  • Camille Pissarro,
  • Edward Degas,
  • Pierre-Auguste Renoir
  • Mary Cassatt.

For each artist, a color reproduction of his or her famous artwork is paired with questions to get kids thinking about what they see. A short paragraph explains the artist's intentions, emphasizing facts of interest to kids. Easy-to-follow activities then provide hands-on experience with the artist's techniques, subject, and mediums, each illustrated with examples by actual kids. Techniques include drawing, painting, pastels, collage, watercolor resist painting, pointillism, sponge painting, mask-making, printmaking, sculpture, and more.
