Book excerpt: “I Can Make Art” is an art activity book meant to guide the child re-create major artworks by Picasso, Matisse, Van Gogh, Gauguin, GeorgiaO’Keeffe in the form of art cards. Step-by-step instructions with photos are provided so any child, skilled or less skilled, can create paper cutouts and collage art. Before they know, children and parents will be in front of an art card made by a first-grader after van Gogh’s Lemons on a plate or Picasso’s Child playing with a toy truck. The book offers an open approach to art, inviting the child to be original, create his own version or style, find new ways of doing a project. Having hands-on projects for age 6+ the book is of great benefit to any child, a formative tool along with education in art genres,styles, masters, arts terms. This can also be the first in my series of art activities books to re-create masters works in collage and cutout art cards form. Parents, educators, schools can expand and enrich these projects in home and class activities offering exposure through work to fine art masterpieces.
