Synopsis
Using simple text and children's art, Art Parts introduces children to 6 elements of art. Designed for children between the ages of 3 and 8, it includes blank pages after each element where children can experiment with the concepts of line, color, shape, texture, space, and emotion. These blank pages allow children to personalize the book while making it a keepsake to treasure, and a wonderful gift for that special child in your life. It would, also, be a great asset to any classroom to add to the art center with materials that allow children to investigate the concepts contained throughout Art Parts. In addition, Art Parts includes an activities page for parents and teachers to expand on concepts in the book. These activities include suggestions for special projects, as well as things parents and teachers can do during everyday routines.
About the Author
Kim Bogren Owen, as a child, became inspired by The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy to write. These stories, among others, and a childhood spent playing in the foothills of Colorado Springs became the inspiration for her desire to help children see the world as a magical, wondrous place. Armed with a BA in Anthropology, she started her career out of a college as a preschool teacher where she began to tell stories again. These times with young children telling stories inspired her to begin to write, but it was years before she would think of publishing her stories and years more before she would begin that process. Her career in Early Childhood Education starting as a teacher, and ultimately becoming a consultant and trainer, provides her with the understanding and resources to support young children and their parents through her books.
