Download or read book Dancing Through Fields of Color written by Elizabeth Brown. This book was released on 2019-03-19. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They said only men could paint powerful pictures, but Helen Frankenthaler (1928-2011) splashed her way through the modern art world. Channeling deep emotion, Helen poured paint onto her canvas and danced with the colors to make art unlike anything anyone had ever seen. She used unique tools like mops and squeegees to push the paint around, to dazzling effects. Frankenthaler became an originator of the influential “Color Field” style of abstract expressionist painting with her “soak stain” technique, and her artwork continues to electrify new generations of artists today. Dancing Through Fields of Color discusses Frankenthaler’s early life, how she used colors to express emotion, and how she overcame the male-dominated art world of the 1950s.

Book excerpt: Growing up in the late 19th century, Laura Wheeler Waring didn't see any artists who looked like her. She didn't see any paintings of people who looked like her, either. As a young woman studying art in Paris, she found inspiration in the works of Matisse and Gaugin to paint the people she knew best. Back in Philadelphia, the Harmon Foundation commissioned her to paint portraits of accomplished African-Americans. Her portraits still hang in Washington DC's National Portrait Gallery, where children of all races can admire the beautiful shades of brown she captured.

Book Synopsis Salvador Dalí and the Surrealists by : Michael Elsohn Ross

Download or read book Salvador Dalí and the Surrealists written by Michael Elsohn Ross. This book was released on 2003-09-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bizarre and often humorous creations of René Magritte, Joan Mir&ó, Salvador Dal&í, and other surrealists are showcased in this activity guide for young artists. Foremost among the surrealists, Salvador Dal&í was a painter, filmmaker, designer, performance artist, and eccentric self-promoter. His famous icons, including the melting watches, double images, and everyday objects set in odd contexts, helped to define the way people view reality and encourage children to view the world in new ways. Dal&í's controversial life is explored while children trace the roots of some familiar modern images. These wild and wonderful activities include making Man Ray&–inspired solar prints, filming a Dali-esque dreamscape video, writing surrealist poetry, making collages, and assembling art with found objects.

Book Synopsis Like a Diamond in the Sky by : Elizabeth Brown

Download or read book Like a Diamond in the Sky written by Elizabeth Brown. This book was released on 2022-02-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story behind the classic and universally recognized rhyme! This luminous picture book biography shines a light on the little-known poet and author of the beloved lullaby. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are. Did you ever wonder who wrote that famous verse? In the days when most girls were brought up to run a home, Jane Taylor had a different kind of education in the English countryside, where she was inspired by nature and the stars, and dreamed of becoming a writer. But in the late 1700s, it was not considered proper for women to be writers. Jane and other female poets were shunned, unable to use their own names when published.But Jane did write, and she never forgot her love for the beauty of nature and the glow of stars, or her desire to write for children. Her published poetry became universally known for generations to come: Twinkle, twinkle little star. This lyrical and luminous biography shines a light on the unsung poet who wrote the words of our most enduring lullaby, and features stunning artwork reflecting the world, the stars, and the story behind the poem that we all know so well.
