Art making with MoMA - Elizabeth Margulies

Art Making with MoMA , from educators at The Museum of Modern Art, New York,
presents twenty interactive activities that invite kids (and adults!) to discover the
materials and techniques of modern and contemporary artists. Drawing on over
eighteen years of research and experience engaging families through programmes,
installations and resources at the Museum, this colourful activity book is filled with
clear instructions, thought-provoking prompts and reproductions of works in MoMA's
collection.
Art Making with MoMA
encourages personal expression and creative
exploration by incorporating materials similar to, and inspired by, those used by artists.


Each project is inspired by a particular artist, movement or design concept, including
Cindy Sherman, Romare Bearden, Alexander Calder, Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and Charles
and Ray Eames. In addition to illustrated step-by-step instructions, tips and open-ended
questions encourage kids to tap into their own ideas and experiences as they explore new
and established techniques for making art. With a range of activities that can be done
alone or in a group, many of them with materials scavenged from around the house, this
book will inspire hours of tinkering, designing, constructing, creating and discussion.
