Be a Creative Changemaker

Be a Creative Changemaker is a wonderful survey of artists from across the globe paired with thoughtful art activities that cover a wide range of art media designed to honor the artists' work they are inspired by. This book is a must-have resource for classrooms and homes alike, creating a space for all artists to see themselves in the pages of art history. The activities not only honor this diverse body of artists but teach how one can draw inspiration from another artist's work while still creating their own original expressions aligning it with contemporary art education pedagogy.--Anjali Wells, President of Creative Outlets Arts Center and Visual Arts Coordinator for Montgomery County Public Schools Be a Creative Changemaker is such an informative and original book filled with wonderful life stories of so many different artists! It really is an inspiration for the creative spirit to navigate and learn about both famous artists and artists who have traditionally been left out of kids' art history. In fact, I have learnt a lot as an adult and look forward to sharing the knowledge with many friends and families.--Stephanie Poon, art historian and author of Modern Art for Kids Be a Creative Changemaker is full of unique and inspiring art techniques, each paired with a fascinating art history lesson and beautiful illustrations. The techniques are based on 25 artists from around the world, almost all of whom have been left out of art history for kids. I love how the author highlights the way these artists pushed the boundaries of their time and then offers simple instructions for fairly complicated art techniques. I'm so inspired by the projects in this book that I'm going to do some alongside my kids!--Megan Schiller, founder of The Art Pantry and author of The Art Playroom
