Book Description
The Art Ed Books and Kits include: paper, non-toxic paint, oil pastels, pencils, brushes, palettes, glue—whatever the artist actually uses or used. In addition, a 24-page full-color book in each kit provides a biography of the artist and discusses his or her life and career, with full-color art reproductions as well as photographs of the artist in the studio. And, an 8-page activity book provides easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions to help children create their own masterpieces.
Each kit is approved by the individual artist or his/her estate.
With Art Ed Books and Kits, children not only learn about great artists, they can learn to paint like them, too. Art Ed is the ideal kit for any aspiring artist!
A portion of the proceeds from Art Ed Books and Kits benefits Studio in A School.
