Bring modern art to life for young readers with this art activity book based on 10 major modern and contemporary artworks. Fun facts and games will fire kids' imaginations, while each activity is carefully designed to encourage a deeper understanding of the artist's approach and the concepts behind each artwork.

You'll be amazed, surprised, and maybe even confused by some of the modern artworks you'll find in this book. There's a lobster telephone, a painting made of food, a giant snail and even an old toilet! Find out more about what the artists were thinking and have a go at creating your own off-beat artworks.

Packed with James Lambert's energetic, colourful illustrations, this engaging activity book shows that modern art can be accessible, enjoyable and above all, fun, for even the youngest viewer.
