Product Description
Abrams' new Art Ed Books and Kits provide everything children need to make art using the approaches of world-renowned artists. Each kit includes material to emulate whatever the artist actually uses or used. In addition a 24-page full-colour book provides a biography of the artist, with colour reproductions of his or her work, and photographs of the artist at work. An 8-page activity book provides easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions to help children create their own masterpieces. With Art Ed Books and Kits, children not only learn about each artist, they can learn to paint like them, too.

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Aspiring artists will find plenty of inspiration from the new Art Ed Books and Kits series by Janet Boris: Frida Kahlo; Roy Lichtenstein; Robert Rauschenberg; and Jacob Lawrence. Each oversize cardboard box kit includes a 24-page artist biography, an eight-page activity book (linked to the artist's work), and materials in the medium used by the profiled artist. For example, included in Frida Kahlo's kit are: 5 tubes of non-toxic paint, 5 oil pastels, 10 sheets of art paper, 3 paint brushes, a mixing palette, a diary booklet and a frame.

Customer Reviews
Art Ed Kits are fabulous!
We homeschool and I found this kit to be a wonderful tool for teaching art at home to our pre-teen and teen children. It has all the essential tools, information and supplies all for one really great price in a box! At pre-teen and teen ages they need some more substantial learning in art and this has it all!
I am very impressed with the items, price and value!
Two thumbs way up!
