Tao is an outcast. Unlike the great hunters of his clan, Tao does not want to kill the wild bears or woolly mammoths of the hunt. Instead he wants only to paint them. But only Chosen Ones can be cave painters. What's more, Volt, the clan leader, violently despises Tao. And when the other clan members discover Tao's secret talent, they cast him out into the wilderness alone. There, he befriends a wild wolf dog named Ram, and the mysterious Graybeard, who teaches him the true secret of the hunt.

"Is living the artist's life a dream for you? Have you asked yourself what it would take for you to be a full-time artist? This book answers that question for you by sharing the career stories of twenty well-known artists who are making a living from doing what they love best - painting. These artists offer their personal stories - each one different, yet the same in many ways. They illustrate that it matters little what style of art you do, or what medium you choose to use, but instead that you continually ask yourself, "What's really important to me'...What exactly do I want to say'... What do I need to say through my art?" And then let the answers to those questions lead you where they may." "These uniquely personal journeys will not only inspire you, they'll give you usable information about making art a practical, viable career. These artists share the questions they have asked themselves, the problems they've faced and overcome, and the experiences that have put them in the process of continually becoming the most fulfilled artists they can be - all to help you do the same with your artistic career."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Art Lab for Kids is a refreshing source of wonderful ideas for creating fine art with children. This step-by-step book offers 52 fun and creative art projects set into weekly lessons, beginning with drawing, moving through painting and printmaking, and then building to paper collage and mixed media.

Each lesson features and relates to the work and style of a contemporary artist and their unique style. The labs can be used as singular projects or to build up to a year of hands-on fine art experiences. Grouped by medium, the labs are set up loosely to build skills upon the previous ones; however, you can begin anywhere.

Have fun exploring:
 

drawing by creating a whimsical scene on a handmade crayon scratchboard.

painting by using watercolors and salt to create a textured landscape.

printmaking by using lemons, celery, mushrooms, and other produce to make colorful prints.

paper by creating an expressive self-portrait using pieces of colored tissue paper.

mixed media by making insects from patterned contact paper and watercolor pencils.


Color photos illustrate how different people using the same lesson will yield different results, exemplifying the way the lesson brings out each artist’s personal style. Art Lab for Kids is the perfect book for creative families, friends, and community groups and works as lesson plans for both experienced and new art teachers.

The popular Lab for Kids series features a growing list of books that share hands-on activities and projects on a wide host of topics, including art, astronomy, clay, geology, math, and even how to create your own circus—all authored by established experts in their fields. Each lab contains a complete materials list, clear step-by-step photographs of the process, as well as finished samples. The labs can be used as singular projects or as part of a yearlong curriculum of experiential learning. The activities are open-ended, designed to be explored over and over, often with different results. Geared toward being taught or guided by adults, they are enriching for a range of ages and skill levels. Gain firsthand knowledge on your favorite topic with Lab for Kids

Presents art lessons for art projects of varying styles including drawing, printmaking, and mixed media.
