Art book cover ART

by Patrick McDonnell

ART is a boy who makes inspired, wired, and colorful art until he falls asleep.  He makes zig-zags, squiggle, dots, and more.  Finally he makes a beautiful picture with stars, the moon, and the night sky.  When he wakes up, mother has taped his pictures on the refrigerator because she loves Art!  The play on words will be fun for children to discuss.  This creative story will inspire young artists.  I made a PDF for young children to color or paint so they can be artists like Art.  This is a wonderful book!

    I love books that reinforce the idea that art is accessible to everyone, kids most of all. Thanks for sharing!
