Art Making with MoMA: 20 Activities for Kids Inspired by Artists at The Museum of Modern Art presents twenty activities inspired by the materials and techniques of modern and contemporary artists. Drawing on over 18 years of research and experience engaging families through programs, installations, and resources at the Museum, this colorful activity book is filled with clear instructions, thought-provoking prompts, and full-color reproductions of works in MoMA’s collection. Using easy-to-find materials—many of them recycled and everyday household objects—these activities encourage hours of imagining, designing, experimenting, constructing, creating, tinkering, and play. Art Making with MoMA shows children, and their adults, how to start thinking like artists. 128 pp.; illustrated throughout.
