Oh no! On the opening night of a new art exhibit, a thief has stolen-not the paintings!-but the information panels beneath them, and the hard drive on which the information was stored. Search each painting for clues on who created it, what elements were used and various other clues, as you learn to identify the techniques of some of the greatest artists of the last century.
Innovative and exciting, The Great Art Scandal will keep your students learning as they hunt for clues. Examining 32 new paintings inspired by some of the greatest art of the late 1800s and 1900s, it's up to the reader to re-create the information panels by matching the elements used in the new paintings to the original paintings. Computer-animated storyboards set the frame for the story, while half-page flip-books feature reproductions of the famous paintings and the commissioned paintings based off of them. 48 pages, answers included. 30 paintings from the collection of the National Galleries of Scotland. Hardcover with dust jacket.
Find the rogue painting and save the exhibition and the City Gallery! Children will have hours of fun exercising their powers of observation as they spot the clues that reveal which artist painted each picture. While they have fun solving the mystery, they'll be enjoying an inspiring introduction to thirty-two of the world's greatest modern artists.
The split pages make this book a fun, interactive experience, rich with fascinating facts about the paintings and the painters and their techniques—all the ingredients needed to inspire a lifelong interest in modern art. Also included is a glossary of art terms.
