From the publisher:Inspire the artist in your child with the vibrant artworks of two iconic artists: Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Imaginative and colorful activities bring their art and ideas to life along with their strong connection to their Mexican heritage. Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera is lavishly illustrated with Rivera's murals and paintings, Kahlo's dreamscapes, self-portraits, and still lifes, and the pre-Columbian art and Mexican folk art that inspired them, as well as many photographs of the artists. Children will learn that art is much more than pretty pictures; it can be a way to express the artist's innermost feelings, a source of everyday joy and fun, an outlet for political ideas, and an expression of hope for a better world.
Engaging projects include:
Painting a self-portrait Kahlo-style
Creating a mural with a social message like Rivera
Making papel picado cutouts
Crafting an Olmec head carving
Printmaking like Mexican artist Jose Posada
Making tin-art greeting cards
And much more
