Portrait: An Art Activity Book

Discover the fascinating world of portraits with this hands-on introduction to art. Through fun activities and creative projects, young artists can explore all the different ways artists capture people, personalities, and ideas.

Inspired by 14 modern and contemporary artworks, the book invites children to experiment with portraiture in unexpected ways. Try abstract portraits inspired by Pablo Picasso, design your own mask with the Guerrilla Girls, or create a word-only portrait inspired by Lorna Simpson.

Along the way, children will discover fascinating facts about each artist and explore different styles, techniques, and ways of making art from painting and photography to sculpture, mixed media, installation, and conceptual art.
