(4) K-3 Art Explorers series. On busy, crowded pages, this book introduces abstract artists Picasso, Léger, Matisse, Calder, O'Keeffe, and Gorky. Readers learn about the artists and the abstract movement by creating art themselves; face masks suggesting Picasso, mobiles in the spirit of Calder, and other projects help children experience art. Short biographies of the subjects are appended.
