Books to inspire the Artist in you!
The Invention of Hugo Cabret, by Brian Selznick recently won the Caldecott Medal for the most distinguished American picture book for children. The amazing black and white pencil illustrations make Selznick very worthy of this grand prize and has inspired me to come up with a list of picture books about art, artists, and even museums. Below is a sampling of what can be found on the below booklist:
Klimt, a world famouse Viennese painter teaches us the importance of staying true to oneself as we learn about his life and work through the eyes of Katze, his loyal cat. Katze, not only speaks, he writes too!
The Dot, by Peter Reynolds:
A great title to help give every young artists the courage within to make their own masterpiece!
