Description
The age of Modern art began in the late 19th century and has grown to encompass nearly one hundred years of progress. Without the Modern art movement we would not have the dynamic range of art that we have today.
As we move into and live in the 21st century we must pass the torch of art appreciation and knowledge to the younger generations. By building the foundations of art for kids, we can unleash their creative potential and eventually they will spear head the art movements of the future. Fortunately, when teaching something as engaging as modern art, it’s easy to have a good time too.
In this book I will showcase prevalent art movements of the 20th century and give instructions on creating kids art projects that will help them understand the ideas and emotions behind those movements. The art movements follow a progressive timeline starting with Expressionism and leading into Contemporary Art. All of these projects can be done with multiple age groups, but there are some that require finer motor skills. Projects for older kids are noted in each section.
For anyone attempting to do projects with kids there are certain supplies that become staples in your cabinet. Aside from the usual suspects (craft paper, safety scissors, washable paint, etc) there are versatile items that will pop up again and again. One of these items is Mod Podge, an adhesive glue that dries completely clear and can be used as a sealant on paper crafts and collages. Once you begin using Mod Podge you will never know how you lived without it. Another versatile supply is condiment and spray bottles. These can be used in a variety of projects that involve paint or gluing, and can cause some messy fun.
For this book, I had the help of a few different kids of different ages who have very little experience with art projects. Some of the finished pieces may look a little rough or unrefined, but that’s ok because the concept was not lost on them. So join us in the fun as we walk through some of the history and creativity that is Modern Art!
