It’s time to make art! But the young girl in this picture book has a few questions first. “What should I use to make art?” “Paint,” says painter Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun. “Wood,” says carver Ellen Neel. “Stone,” says an ancient stone sculptor from Teotihuacán. Can art be something you eat? Something useful? Nothing at all? Each famous and lesser-known artist across history answers her questions through the lens of their own art. I loved this diverse introduction to art for a young audience (and I learned a lot too)! (Ages 2 and up)
