Ages 5-12 and parents and teachers will appreciate this unusual focus: a collection of art activities for this age group that provides a visual focus on the basic elements of Pop Art. Six artists plus the author provide a survey of Pop Art elements and explore the stories behind major art works - then moves beyond to encourage kids to create their own Pop Art. Bright pages of color examples and a question/answer format promises learning and fun.

I make it a point to collect Joyce Raimondo's books. Make it Pop like her previous books in the Art Explorers series have proved to be an excellent tool in art education. I use it in my college courses for my students studying to be teachers. It provides clear examples of appropriate language and art technique for inspiring conversations and art making in this case about Pop Art. For my college students new to providing art lessons with their students it is a valuable resource.

Most people tend to think that pop culture is not appropriate for kids. But I think it is necessary for kids to have an adequate eye of appreciation toward secular culture because they should be able to learn to pertinently enjoy creative art works. If you have negative thoughts about pop culture, please read this book.
