A magical educational art box for children, with art projects, inspiration from artists and quality materials. Animals, both real and imagined, have long been a favourite subject in art. Part of their beauty lies in their versatility as subjects: they are often used as symbols, but they can also be majestic creative muses in their own right. In this art box we look at creatures big and small, from wild animals with Franz Marc, Salvador Dali and Durer, to farm animals with Picasso and Tracey English, and finally at bugs and butterflies with Louise Bourgeois and Lois Ehlert. The 'Awesome Animals' art box includes: A booklet introducing the theme, with information about artists, art styles and techniques. Clear instructions on seven art projects, appropriate for children of any age (4 years and above), with tips to tailor each project for little ones. Quality art materials: A set of acrylic paints, paintbrush, styrofoam sheet and water-colour paper. LoLA book recommendations for further reading on artists and art styles.
