Meet the Artist: J. M. W. Turner is packed with inspiring activities
for budding young artists. Create colorful Turneresque landscapes and
seascapes, experiment with watercolors, and paint portraits of your
friends and family. Starting with a brief introduction to the life of J.
M. W. Turner (1775-1851), an English painter known for his evocative
land- and seascapes, the book offers a series of drawing-based
activities that explore prominent themes and ideas in the artist's work.
Featuring beautiful reproductions of actual artworks and illustrated by
a leading contemporary illustrator, this book, like all titles in the
Meet the Artist series, encourages children to use art as an avenue for
exploring ideas and expressing their own experiences.
