Art Ed Books and Kit: Robert Ryman

Abrams' Art Ed Books and Kits provide everything children need to create art using the approaches of world-renowned painters and sculptors! Inspiration for budding young artists Art Ed Books and Kits come with whatever types of materials the artist actually uses or used, such as paper, nontoxic paint, air-drying clay, oil pastels, colored pencils, cameras, pencils, brushes, art wire, palettes, and/or glue. In each kit is a biography of the artist illustrated with full-color art reproductions as well as photographs of the artist at work, and an eight-page activity book providing easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions to help children create their own masterpieces. Each kit has been approved by the original artist or his/her estate. A portion of the proceeds from Art Ed Books and Kits benefits Studio in A School. As a painter of abstract white paintings, Robert Ryman (b. 1930) explores subtle effects of color and texture to create his stark but visually rich compositions.
