Making Art

<b>A celebration of the many ways we make art, spanning mediums, geography, and resources from author-artist Diana Ejaita.</b><br><br><b>A </b><i><b>New York Times</b></i><b>/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children’s Book!</b><br><br>Art is for everyone! From found objects to sidewalk chalk, from homemade instruments to breakdancing, from building with blocks to molding clay, art is natural and healing. Readers will be encouraged by the invitation to create anything, anywhere, with any materials. Inclusive and expansive, Ejaita portrays a wide cast of characters exploring their own feelings and ideas, accompanied by a poignant, yet easily understood, text. This deceptively simple and stunningly composed picture book offers children a sense of what art can be, and the ways in which it adds beauty to our lives.
