Book Description
An artist, trendsetter and cultural icon, Andy Warhol was as intriguing a character as the art he created. This colorful introduction to an equally colorful personality follows pivotal events in Warhol’s life, explores some of his most famous works, and encourages young readers to try their own hands at painting, printmaking and sculpture. The authors’ playful text will engage children as it breaks down complex theories into ideas and experiments that are both fun and educational: from making shadow paintings to constructing a time capsule. The text, along with photographs of the artist and reproductions from his work, explore his creative process and the historical events that inspired Warhol’s unique vision of the world.
